i-dle becomes first K-pop girl band to host solo concert at Taipei Dome

SEOUL, March 09 (AJP) - Five-member K-pop girl band i-dle successfully drew more than 36,000 fans on March 7, at a concert held at Taipei Dome as part of its fourth world tour, its agency Cube Entertainment said Monday.

The band, comprised of five members -- Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi and Shuhua -- had their concert tickets sold out immediately after general ticket sales opened on Feb. 1. The upcoming Taipei concert follows the group's three-day concert performance at Taipei Arena during its 2024 world tour. Due to strong demand, limited-view seats for the March concert were also sold out, resulting in four consecutive sold-out shows.

Cube Entertainment said the performance marked the first time a K-pop girl act had performed at Taipei Dome. The dome stadium is Taiwan's iconic indoor facility with a maximum capacity of 40,000 seats. Previously, K-pop boy band Super Junior and solo female artist Taeyeon held concerts at Taipei Dome last year.  
  The group kick-started the concert with their latest release "Mono (Feat. skaiwater)." Throughout the concert, i-dle performed songs "Nxde," "LION," "Good Thing," "I Hate Being Sick," and the unreleased track "Crow," along with solo stages for individual members alongside a live band session.

For the Taipei audiences, the band also performed "Girlfriend," which had not been included in Seoul concerts, and presented a special cover of "Wu Mian," a song by Taiwanese band Sodagreen.

i-dle debuted in 2018 under Cube Entertainment and is known for hit songs such as "Tomboy," "Nxde" and "Queencard."

Following the Taipei concert, the band will continue on with its tour at Impact Arena in Bangkok on March 21.
