"So-young from (G)I-DLE revealed the reason for changing from 'G-IDLE' to 'IDLE'."
On the 23rd, the KBS2 music talk show "The Seasons - Park Bo-gum's Cantabile" (hereafter referred to as 'Cantabile') aired the episode titled 'No Break, Keep Going', featuring i-dle(G-IDLE), Daybreak, Baekhyun, and Distracted Perspectives.
That day, Park Bo-gum asked, "We first greeted you two years ago during the 'Music Bank' world tour, do you remember?" The i-dle members recalled, saying, "Didn't we perform together back then?"
Park Bo-gum confessed, "That's right. We sang 'Remember Me.' I played the piano while you sang. We didn't have time to practice together, but I fell for Minnie while listening to her voice through the in-ear monitor." Minnie shyly replied, "You have been releasing a lot of OSTs lately," to which Park Bo-gum said, "I released one recently. I am consistently releasing OSTs."
Then, Park Bo-gum suggested, "I have a song that I would like to recommend, and I think the song 'Timing' is good," directing his comment towards the audience, "If you listen to 'Timing' at the right timing, today's Cantabile recording won't end without joy."
Above all, Park Bo-gum drew attention with his keen memory. When Minnie noted, "I think it was your birthday then," Park Bo-gum replied, "How did you remember? It's such an honor," surprising her. To this, Park Bo-gum joked, "I am delicate."
Meanwhile, Park Bo-gum asked, "This time, I think the album will have significant meaning for the i-dle members," questioning why the team name changed from (G)I-DLE to i-dle. So-young explained, "At first, when we were debuting, we were known as i-dle. But in the debut articles, we were referred to as (G)I-DLE."
She continued, "We have always been i-dle. So, at some point, when we had made ourselves known to the public, we always said that we should change it to i-dle. However, it required a complete overhaul of all our sites, which was not an easy task. After not being able to change it for seven years, we have now officially changed it to i-dle."
In particular, all i-dle members participated in this album as producers. So-young stated, "I have been involved in writing and composing the title track since our debut, and our team is essentially our producers. For the first time, all members participated in our album this time."
