(G)I-DLE gave their all to their fans, although they had to return with only five members.
U-Cube successfully launched a hit girl group when (G)I-DLE arrived with their debut single, Latata. Their first project immediately caused people to call them “monster rookies” since they became one of the most successful K-pop groups that do not come from K-pop’s big three labels.
(G)I-DLE originally debuted as a six-membered group. But despite their success, they faced their first hurdle when Soojin departed from the group in August.
Although they only have five members now, (G)I-DLE members poured everything they have in the recent comeback to give their fans the best album.
