I-DLE to release ninth EP 'We made' in July

SEOUL, June 08 (AJP) - K-pop girl group I-DLE will return with its ninth EP, "We made," on July 6, its agency Cube Entertainment said Monday.

The agency unveiled a teaser for the album through the five-member group's official social media channels at midnight.

"We made" marks I-DLE's first release in six months since the digital single "Mono (Feat. skaiwater)" in January, and its first EP in a little over a year since "We are" in May last year.

The teaser uses thermal camera and X-ray imagery to visualize how love registers in the body, tracing heat from the chest to the fingertips and into the minds of two figures facing each other. The album logo uses a distortion effect that echoes the emotional intensity of the visuals.

  Formed in 2018, I-DLE garnered immediate recognition, winning their first music show award just 20 days after debut and going on to receive multiple rookie awards at major year-end ceremonies that year. The group is widely regarded as one of the most successful K-pop girl groups outside of the industry's major labels.

Before the EP's release, I-DLE will perform in Singapore, Yokohama and Hong Kong as part of its fourth world tour, "2026 I-DLE WORLD TOUR [Syncopation]."
