“7th anniversary of debut” “(G)I-DLE” changes group name to “i-dle”… Unprecedented brand change after contract renewal

The group "(G)I-DLE" will open a new page as "i-dle". On the 1st, "i-dle" announced on their official SNS channel that "(G)I-DLE" will be releasing "i-dle
On May 2, 2018, i-dle, which is celebrating its 7th anniversary since debut, announced that they would be changing their group name to i-dle.
"i-dle" has removed the "G" from the group name that was previously "(G)I-DLE". Through this, "i-dle" has become a group that is "female" and "GENDE".
The group re-established its identity as a group that could not be defined by any gender, or by any gender at all. At the same time, it eliminated the parentheses, which were used to distinguish and emphasize the rest, and became more and more unrestricted.
It is expected that they will show new music and concepts. Along with this, the new logo and symbol of "i-dle" was also revealed.
The logo, which is made up of the letter e, is an extension of a point with a circular shape, and is a structural design that utilizes the principles of points, lines, and surfaces, creating the freedom of "i-dle."
In particular, the symbol of five i's coming together to form a star represents the five members of "i-dle," each with their own unique personality, coming together and becoming one.
This means that the group will be reborn as the new i-dle. In December of last year, all members of i-dle renewed their contracts with CUBE Entertainment.
This was not a simple change in the group name, but a teaser for a leap to greater heights. "i-dle" is a group that has been growing steadily with its solid teamwork and expanded musicality.
I'm going to meet up with the fans soon.
