I-dle (Korean: 아이들; stylized in lowercase), known in the past as (G)I-dle ((여자)아이들), is a South Korean girl group active since 2 May 2018. The group is made of five members: Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi and Shuhua. Soojin was the sixth member, but she was forced to leave the group by their company on 14 August 2021; she is a soloist now. I-dle makes K-pop music under Cube Entertainment [en], J-pop under U-Cube and pop under Republic Records and 88rising [en]. Most of their songs are produced by the group members themselves.

Name

The group name was "(G)I-dle", but it is "I-dle" since 2 May 2025.

"(G)I-dle" (Korean: (여자)아이들) was Soyeon's idea. The original name was "Idle" (아이들; aideul), the Korean word for "children". Some English-speaking fans did not like the name, because in English "Idle" means someone that is not working or that is lazy.

For that reason, the name was changed to "(G)I-dle":

The right way to say the name when speaking is "I-dle", which sounds like "idol [en]". Since May 2025, their name is also written "I-dle".

Their fans are called "Neverland".
