Is "I love" a continuation of "Tomboy"? Or... ((G)I-DLE)
(G)I-DLE's first comeback notice since 'Tomboy' - 'I love' to be released on October 17th
★ "(G)I-DLE" announced their comeback in October.
On the 14th, a teaser announcing the comeback was uploaded on the official SNS account. According to them, the 5th mini album 'I love' will be released on October 17th at 18:00.
It is true that the title song "Tomboy" of (G)I-DLE's previous work, "I Never Die" achieved the Korean chart "Perfect All Kill (PAK)" and has been a hit for a long time.
Thanks to the "Tomboy" hit, (G)I-DLE's popularity has returned.
However, I don't know if it has returned to its pre-popularity.
It is true that "Tomboy" continued to be a hit for a long time, but there is also the question of how the popularity of the members increased along with the hit of the song. I felt the momentum of the song, but I didn't feel the popularity of the members that much.
To put it bluntly, I feel that the popularity of the members has not risen to the extent that the song has become popular.
"Tomboy" might have become popular later on as a coupling song if Sujin was there.
When Sujin was around, (G)I-DLE was so generous. It had a mysterious depth like a deep-sea fish.
However, without Sujin, I couldn't swim around in the deep sea.
Although it is said that they "created a syndrome with a fresh rock concept", (G)I-DLE is originally a highly skilled girl.
"Tomboy", which has a charm that fledgling girls couldn't show, must have been a delightful comfort for fans in the shallows of entertainment music.
However, it is difficult to say whether they can continue to make more hits with a similar concept. In the first place, it's not a girl who looks good in such a way of playing.
It's hard to go back to where Sujin was. Maybe that's why it took so long to comeback.
It seems that the degree of attention to the new song contains a considerable amount of anxiety.
"If Sujin is in this photo, it's certain that she'll return to the deep sea, so the expectations are likely to skyrocket..."
"Should we go back to the deep sea or stay in the shallows...which would it be?"
