i-dle delivered a special present in line with the Lunar New Year holiday. Yesterday (17th), i-dle released a vertical performance video for the digital single 'Mono (Feat. skaiwater)'. The members showcased a relay performance with cuts switching by part, capturing attention. The performance, unfolding beyond a keyhole reminiscent of the 'i' in i-dle, completed a theatrical atmosphere with lighting that changed according to silhouettes. The members' monochrome styling was also eye-catching. Miyeon's halter neck paired with pants, Minnie’s side-slit dress, Soyeon's crop top and slacks combination, Ugi's open-shoulder dress, and Shuhua's wide suit all expressed their identities distinctly while maintaining a black color scheme. Previously, they released various versions of content including the music video for 'Mono (Feat. skaiwater)', mega group performance videos, character version dance videos, and split-screen live clips. Each different format of video expanded the song's message from new perspectives and attracted fan interest. 'Mono (Feat. skaiwater)' expresses the message of listening more to one's essence away from others' gazes, presented in i-dle's unique musical style. Following their achievement of three crowns on Korean terrestrial music programs, the song has also topped the Tencent Music Chart and QQ MUSIC's Korean music video chart for four consecutive weeks, continuing to be a long-term hit in the Chinese-speaking regions. i-dle will hold '2026 i-dle WORLD TOUR [Syncopation] IN SEOUL' at KSPO DOME in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 21st and 22nd.
