Soyeon, the leader of (G)I-DLE, revealed her thoughts after the tour ended. On the 3rd, she posted a long message starting with "My love, Nebaba (nickname for the official fan club NEVERLAND)" on her Instagram. First, she said, "Finally, the (G)I-DLE tour that started in August has ended! It feels like just yesterday that I was worried about how to create a setlist that everyone could enjoy from start to finish, how to arrange the songs so that they would be fun, how to do the solos, and what concept to use, but it ended in the blink of an eye. While my heart feels clear, I also feel lonely thinking that there will be no concerts from next week." She continued, "From the first tour, where there were many places without electronic billboards, to the increasingly larger venues! The sets we can install! The things we can show have increased more and more, and I was moved every time thanks to Nebaba. Thank you, really thank you." Finally, she added, "This time, I was inspired by Nebaba and the members, as well as the cities we visited, and I am looking forward to the next tour even more! Next time, I will go to meet the Nebaba I couldn't meet this time! I love you very much. Let's meet again, Nebaba." Soyeon successfully concluded the 2024 world tour "iDOL" as (G)I-DLE. She is also approaching the end of her contract with CUBE Entertainment in November. Recently, there have been reports that the re-contract discussions have not gone well, but a representative from her agency stated on October 25 to Newsen, "Discussions regarding Soyeon's re-contract are still ongoing. Also, Soyeon plans to continue with her scheduled activities as usual." After starting her solo activities in November 2017, she debuted as a member of (G)I-DLE in May 2018 and has been actively engaged in her career.
