i-dle releases new song "Mono (Feat. skaiwater)," first song of 2026, in collaboration with up-and-coming rapper skaiwater
i-dle (read: i-dle) has begun its full-fledged activities with the digital release of its first new song of 2026, the digital single "Mono (Feat. skaiwater)".
Mono (Feat. skaiwater)" features British rapper skaiwater. The collaboration between skaiwater, who has garnered attention for her unique tone and rapping, and a top K-pop girl group has attracted great interest among global hip-hop fans, and the song is filled with i-dle's thoughts and passion as she faces the essence of music. In contrast to the glamorous style represented by "Queencard," the minimal and sophisticated beat is striking, conveying a concise and clear message that one should leave the gaze of others and listen to one's own essence.
The music video, released in conjunction with the release of the song, is a work of unique visual beauty that stands out against a black and white background. The video depicts i-dle singing their own unique rhythm amongst the people, drawing their own patterns on a huge circular canvas, and also features a spectacular dance scene with a mega-crew.
In addition, i-dle will launch its world tour "2026 i-dle WORLD TOUR [Syncopation]" starting with a concert in Seoul, Korea (February 21 & 22). The tour will then travel to major cities in Asia and Oceania, including Taipei, Bangkok, Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, Yokohama, and Hong Kong, with a 2-day show at K-Arena Yokohama in Japan already announced by officials. Additional cities and dates will be announced in the future.
