i-dle is celebrating its eighth anniversary by reflecting on a career filled with major milestones while signaling another ambitious leap forward through a new album and expanding global activities.

Since debuting in May 2018 with the mini album “I am,” i-dle has built a powerful identity through a string of hits including “LATATA,” “TOMBOY,” “Nxde,” and “Queencard.”
The group further solidified its long-run momentum last year after rebranding under the simplified name “i-dle.” Its eighth mini album “We are” surpassed 1.06 million first-week sales, marking the group’s fourth consecutive million-seller release. Earlier this year, digital single “Mono” also secured three music-show wins, reinforcing the group’s sustained chart power.
According to the agency, the foundation behind i-dle’s eight-year longevity has been the members’ unwavering passion for music and strong trust in one another. Built on that chemistry, the group is currently finalizing a July comeback album expected to introduce a surprising new style while preserving i-dle’s signature color and maturity.
The members shared heartfelt messages for their fandom NEVERLAND, saying, “Time feels like it passed so quickly. The reason the last eight years were filled with happy memories is all because of NEVERLAND,” adding, “We’re so happy to be together as members, and we’ll continue working hard for another 80 years.”
Meanwhile, i-dle will continue its fourth world tour “Syncopation” alongside a special eighth anniversary livestream. The group is also scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago on July 31 as part of its ongoing global expansion.
