I-DLE recently marked their 7th debut anniversary by launching a special mini album called 'We are i-dle' on May 2 KST. The album featured 9 tracks including "LATATA," "HANN," "Senorita," "Uh-Oh," "Oh My God," "Lion," "I'm The Trend," "DUMDi DUMDi," and "HWAA," all re-recorded to exclude former member Soojin.
In a symbolic move, the group bid farewell to the letter 'G' that once preceded their name as they embraced a new chapter. The release of the mini album on their debut anniversary signified a fresh start for I-DLE following evolutions and growth.
Korean netizens reacted positively to 'We are i-dle,' with many expressing joy over the decision and appreciating the updated versions of the songs. Some fans felt that this move was considerate towards those who may have hesitated to listen to the old versions.
Looking ahead, I-DLE has plans to drop their 8th mini album on May 19 KST. They have also adjusted their social media accounts to reflect their original name, "i-dle."
