YUQI of the group i-dle is set to release her second mini-album, "二十七(27)," featuring songs she fully contributed to writing and composing.
On September 27, agency Cube Entertainment unveiled the tracklist for YUQI's second mini-album through the official social media channels of i-dle. The album includes six tracks: the title track "Stay," along with "快乐," "Chamomile Tea," "I Like You," "Feels Right," and "银河之舞." Among these, "银河之舞" was performed on stage for the first time during i-dle's world tour "Syncopation" concert in Macau last month. The tracklist graphic features photos placed on paper that evoke the mood of each track, including a swing, chamomile, sunlight filtering through leaves, and sunflowers.
YUQI took part in writing the lyrics and composing every song on this release. Producers Siixk Jun and BOYTOY, who previously collaborated with her on her first solo mini-album "YUQ1" as well as multiple self-composed tracks, joined forces with her once again. Talented domestic and international songwriters also contributed, including Val Del Prete@NUMBER K, who has worked on tracks for numerous K-pop artists. The album's title is drawn directly from YUQI's age. The agency explained that the project encapsulates the emotions and everyday moments experienced by 27-year-old YUQI.
In 2024, YUQI sold more than 550,000 copies of her first solo mini-album, "YUQ1," and her debut single "Motivation," released the following year, surpassed 410,000 copies in first-week sales. She has also taken home Best Solo Artist honors at major award ceremonies.
YUQI's second mini-album, "二十七(27)," will be released across various digital music platforms on October 8.
