The group i-dle (children) sings the value of its unique identity.

Children (Mi-yeon, Min-ni, Soyeon, Yu-ki, and Shuhua) released a new digital single "Mono (Feat. Skaiwater)" on various music sites on the 27th and began their first full-length activities this year.

"Mono (Feat. Skaiwater)" is a song that solves the message of paying more attention to one's essence away from the eyes of others through children's own musical speech. Some of the previously released minimal sounds and sophisticated visuals piqued the curiosity of listeners at home and abroad, and the music video teaser proved its buzz even before its release, reaching the top of the Chinese music platform QQ Music Korean music video chart.

It is also impressive that the children collaborated with outside artists in a group song for the first time since their debut. British rapper Skaiwater, who has an addictive tone, will participate in the feature to showcase new musical synergy with children.

In the third concept photo released prior to the release of the song, the photo of each member of the monotone and the hands holding each other conveyed the meaning of the song. The music video is expected to include dynamic performances with Mega Crew, providing a more intense visual beauty.
