Group (G)I-DLE is unveiling a special pop-up store for global fans to commemorate the release of their 9th mini album.

(G)I-DLE (Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Woogi, Shuhua) will hold the 'i-dle minini baby POP-UP' at KPOP SQUARE Hongdae and Lotte World Mall from the 24th through August 2nd.

■ Cute Characters and Spatial Design Embodying a 'Baby' Concept This pop-up store was planned around a baby concept, inspired by the fandom 'Neverland' affectionately calling the members 'babies.' In particular, baby-version characters produced in collaboration with IPX — Yeonini (Miyeon), Minnini (Minnie), Sonini (Soyeon), Unini (Woogi), and Shunini (Shuhua) — were revealed for the first time, drawing an enthusiastic response from visitors right from the opening.

The on-site space is decorated with a slide, ball pit, block objects, and other installations reminiscent of an actual playroom. Daily schedule charts handwritten by the members are also on display, capturing fans' attention. In addition, a diverse range of official merchandise utilizing the baby character IP has been prepared, including plush dolls, plush badges, string pouches, and card holders.

■ Simultaneous Global Openings Across Major Asian Cities Beyond Korea Having previously wrapped up a successful pop-up store commemorating their 9th mini album 'We made,' (G)I-DLE planned this additional pop-up in response to fans' passionate support. This event is simultaneously opening in major cities across Korea, China, and Japan — including Seoul, Busan, Shanghai, Beijing, and Tokyo — and is scheduled to subsequently open in Taipei, Singapore, and other locations.

■ From U.S. 'Lollapalooza' Appearance to Macau World Tour Finale Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE, who concluded their promotions after releasing their new song 'Gimme Dat Love' on the 6th, will take the stage at the major music festival 'Lollapalooza' held in Chicago, USA, on the 31st (local time).

Following that, they will hold the '2026 i-dle WORLD TOUR [Syncopation] IN MACAU' concerts on August 29th and 30th, both of which recorded completely sold-out seats, bringing their world tour schedule that swept the globe to a grand finale.
