(G)I-DLE Lyrics
여자)아이들 가사
(G)I-dle (Korean: (여자)아이들; RR: Yeoja Aideul; lit. Girls Idol; stylized as (G)I-DLE) is a South Korean girl group formed by Cube Entertainment in 2018. The group consists of five members: Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua.
The group was originally a sextet, until Soojin left the group on August 14, 2021. They are praised for their musicality, versatility, and for breaking stereotypes as a "self-producing" idol group, known for writing and producing much of their material. Since their debut, they have been acknowledged as one of the most successful South Korean girl groups outside of the "big four" record labels.
Debuting with "Latata" on May 2, 2018, which peaked at number 12 on the Circle Digital Chart, they saw moderate success with their subsequent releases until they rose to prominence with their critically acclaimed single "Hwaa," which peaked at number five on said Chart. This was followed by their first number-one single, "Tomboy," which gained virality and critical acclaim. Featured on their full-length album, I Never Die (2022); it topped the Circle album charts and was certified platinum by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA). Their next single, "Nxde", also topped the Circle Chart and made (G)I-dle the only artist to have two songs achieve a perfect all-kill in 2022.
(G)I-dle's next extended play, I Feel (2023), produced the single "Queencard" and marked the group's third number-one single in South Korea. It became their first record to sell over one million copies in the country, and sold two million copies worldwide in 2023 according to the IFPI. During the same year, they became the first act from an independent label to appear on Mediabase Top 40 Radio airplay charts and to debut on the US Billboard Pop Airplay chart with a non-English song.
The group's second studio album, 2 (2024), was also met with commercial success and sold over one million copies in South Korea. It produced top-ten lead single "Super Lady" and yielded the number-one song "Fate", which found success despite not being released as a single.

Name Origin:
In an interview with The Star, group leader Soyeon revealed that the name "Idle" (아이들) came to her when she was composing the "Idle Song". She suggested it to Cube Entertainment, and the name was finalized after undergoing internal competition. However, the name received mixed reactions in South Korea and internationally since "아이들" (aideul) means "children", and "idle" in English refers to someone who avoids work.
Accordingly, the group was renamed (G)I-dle, with the "I" standing for individuality, the hyphen showing that the name has been divided into two parts, and "Dle" (deul) as the plural form of "I" in Korean to indicate a group of six different personalities gathering together. When the name is stated aloud, the "G" enclosed in parentheses is not included. Following their return as a quintet, on an episode of 1theK Original's IDDP released on the March 15, 2022, the group confirmed they would like to be referred to verbally as "I-dle".
