The group i-dle expressed gratitude to fans on the occasion of their 8th debut anniversary.

On the 2nd, Cube Entertainment released i-dle's 8th debut anniversary message via the official SNS channels of i-dle (Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, Shuhua).

i-dle stated, "Time feels like it passes so quickly. We think the reason the past eight years have been filled with happy memories is all thanks to Neverland. We are so, so happy to be with our members, and we will work even harder for the next 80 years."

i-dle made their debut in the music industry on May 2, 2018, with the mini album 'I am'. Since then, they have built a unique musical world by achieving mega hits with every release, including the debut song 'LATATA', a self-composed track by leader Soyeon, as well as 'TOMBOY', 'Nxde', and 'Queencard'.

Last year, marking their 7th debut anniversary, they opened a new second act as 'We'. After rebranding the group name to i-dle, their 8th mini album 'We Are' broke 1.06 million copies in first-week sales, achieving four consecutive million-seller records. The digital single 'Mono (Feat. skaiwater)', released this year, achieved remarkable results by winning three music show awards. Currently, they are in the final stages of preparation for their comeback in July.

Regarding the comeback, i-dle said, "We think you might not see us as you remember us. We are curious how you will feel. While trying new styles, we will still include the i-dle you love. We plan to show you more mature music, so please look forward to it."

Furthermore, regarding the driving force behind their consistent activities over eight years, they explained, "All the members continue to love music, and we believe that our strong bond of trust has made the team even stronger. We are proud of i-dle, who continue to grow."

i-dle continues to make active moves on the global stage. Last year, they successfully completed their first Japanese arena tour 'Ai-dle' following the release of the Japanese EP 'i-dle', and this year they are meeting fans worldwide through their fourth world tour, '2026 i-dle WORLD TOUR 'Syncopation''. On July 31 (local time), they will take the stage at 'Lollapalooza' held at Grant Park in Chicago, USA, adding to the festival's excitement.

i-dle conveyed their feelings to fans: "Dear beloved Neverland. Thanks to your unchanging love and care for us over these eight years, we have been able to do well so far. Let's stay together for a long time, far beyond this time. We will try hard to make that happen. We love you!"

i-dle will hold a live broadcast to commemorate their 8th debut anniversary via their official YouTube channel at 5 p.m. on the 2nd.
