Celebrating 7 Iconic Years: (G)I-dle Honors Fans with ‘We are i-dle’ Anniversary Special

Global K-pop sensation (G)I-dle commemorated their 7th debut anniversary with fans during a special livestream event, ‘7th ANNIVERSARY PARTY with NEVERLAND’, streamed on their official YouTube channel on June 2.

Members Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing heartfelt stories and memorable moments from their career. The group, now unified under the stylized name ‘I-dle’, surprised fans with a fresh group greeting, marking a new chapter in their journey.

What made the event especially meaningful was the group’s sincere message to their fanbase. Though not officially named in English, the term NEVERLAND is recognized among fans as a symbol of their support. Shuhua emphasized this bond by stating, “We are beings who love unconditionally,” while Yuqi added passionately, “You are our first and last love. Please keep believing in us as you always have.”

Leader Soyeon described fans as a source of confidence, saying, “With NEVERLAND, we can pursue our music and our dreams boldly.” Miyeon expressed that fans are the reason for their existence, and Minnie passionately confirmed, “When I’m exhausted, it’s NEVERLAND who recharges my strength. It’s a kind of power I’ve never felt before.”

The celebration also included fun interactive segments such as a ‘Seven-letter talk’, a fan-voted balance game, and a challenge where members guessed a seven-second timer using only instinct. The girls also personalized t-shirts as gifts and read fan messages, deepening the connection with their audience.

To commemorate the milestone, (G)I-dle released a five-member version of their special mini album titled ‘We are i-dle’. Looking forward, the group announced the release of their Mini 8th album on June 19 as part of their full-group comeback.

As they continue embarking on their global journey, the synergy between (G)I-dle and their fans only keeps getting stronger.
