i-dle showed strengthened teamwork and opened the curtain on their 4th world tour. i-dle held '2026 i-dle WORLD TOUR [Syncopation] IN SEOUL' at KSPO DOME in Seoul on February 21 and 22. This performance featured hit songs including the digital single 'Mono (Feat. Skaiwater)', which was announced last month, and the debut stage of the unreleased song 'Crow', raising expectations for their next comeback. The members appeared on stage riding lifts, with a giant face sculpture catching the eye. They opened the show glamorously with 'Mono (Feat. Skaiwater)', followed by a newly arranged version of 'Nxde', and performed songs like 'Oh my god', 'LION', 'Love Tease', 'HWAA', 'Put It Straight (Nightmare Version)', and 'Revenge'. Additionally, there were stages with band music that enhanced the immersion of the performance. After that, hit songs like 'Good Thing', 'Wife', 'Fate', 'I Want That', 'POP/STARS', 'MY BAG', 'Queencard', 'TOMBOY', and 'Super Lady' were performed, reflecting on i-dle's journey so far. This performance included solo performances between group stages, adding variations that evoke the title of the world tour, 'Syncopation'. Miyeon staged a musical-like performance with male dancers in 'Reno (Feat. Colde)', while Minnie showcased a bold performance using an eye patch in 'HER'. Ugi reinterpreted 'M.O.', and Shuhua delivered her first solo song 'Red Redemption'. Soyeon revealed through her stage of 'ICE BLUE RABBIT' that she is the composer behind 'Mono (Feat. Skaiwater)', known as 'icebluerabbit', overwhelming the scene with dancers wearing rabbit masks. Soyeon explained the origin of the name 'icebluerabbit', saying, 'I wanted to challenge myself to change my music. I combined things I don't like: 'Ice', which is the opposite of 'Hot Girl', 'Blue', a color I don't like, and 'Rabbit', which is the opposite of my puppy face.' The highlight of the Seoul concert, marking the start of i-dle's 4th world tour, was the debut of the new song 'Crow'. With a wild guitar sound and a large group dance, 'Crow' showcased an expanded musical spectrum of i-dle, receiving enthusiastic cheers. From Soyeon's intense rap to Ugi and Shuhua's pair dance using chains, and the vocals and performances of Minnie and Miyeon who appeared with dancers, all captured the audience's attention. After the first stage of 'Crow', the members introduced the song, saying, 'Crows are often seen as symbols of misfortune, but they are birds that survive until the end in any environment. We created this song with a vow that like crows, i-dle will continue our unique flight without wavering, whether fortune or misfortune comes. It will be released as a sound source in the future.' i-dle concluded the Seoul concert, stating, 'Every time we hold a concert, I can't believe so many people come, and it feels strange. It makes me feel a stronger urge to do better.' They added, 'My dream is for i-dle to continue making music for a long time. For that, we absolutely need Nebobo (the nickname for i-dle's fans 'NEVERLAND'). We will always work hard.' They continued, 'Thinking about the members brings up feelings I've never had in my life. As a child, I was a fan of someone, but now as a singer, looking at Nebobo, memories of the time we've spent together come to mind. I'm happy to be with Nebobo at this moment. We will take care of our health and go on the world tour.' Following the Seoul concert, i-dle will hold '2026 i-dle WORLD TOUR [Syncopation] IN TAIPEI' at Taipei Dome on March 7, entering full-scale overseas performances. They will then tour cities around the world, including Bangkok, Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, Yokohama, and Hong Kong, interacting with local fans.
