I-DLE
The group I-DLE will release its first Japanese EP album titled “아이들 (i-dle)” on October 3, marking its first release in Japan since its rebranding. This new album, which shares its name with the group, is its first Japanese release in five years.
The album includes a total of five tracks: the title track “어떡하지 (どうしよっかな)”, three brand-new songs, and Japanese versions of “퀸카 (Queencard)“ and “나는 아픈 건 딱 질색이니까 (Fate)“. The track “어떡하지” was written and composed by SOYEON herself. The album will be released in three versions, including a limited edition.
The group also has upcoming activities planned in Japan. Their first Japanese tour will kick off on October 4 at the Saitama Super Arena, followed by concerts on October 18 and 19 at the Glion Arena Kobe. Promotional events such as fan signings will also take place in Tokyo and Osaka to celebrate the release.
Local responses have already been enthusiastic. When they appeared in March on TBS’s morning variety program “ラビット! (Rabbit!)”, they quickly rose to the top of social media trending topics. Their live performance on NHK’s “Venue 101” was also met with praise. In addition, they are scheduled to perform on the stage of the “SUMMER SONIC 2025” festival on August 16 and 17.
