Group I-DLE has successfully wrapped up their first week of comeback activities with intense performances that blew away the midsummer heat.

I-DLE released their 9th mini album "We made" on the 6th and began their official comeback promotions with the title track "Gimme Dat Love." Notably, they made a surprise appearance as guests at "PSY Summer Swag 2026 - Incheon," held at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on the 11th, receiving enthusiastic cheers.

I-DLE opened their set with the powerful chorus of "TOMBOY." The audience erupted in cheers at their unexpected appearance, singing along and raising the energy of the venue.

The group then performed their hit song "Queencard." The members moved to the protruding stage, captivating the audience with their signature point choreography and refreshing performance.

They also introduced their new track. I-DLE said, "We have made a comeback with a new song. It is called 'Gimme Dat Love,' and we really wanted to show you the performance we worked so hard to prepare."

The performance of "Gimme Dat Love," held amidst pouring water, showcased I-DLE's unique, intense energy that perfectly matched the midsummer atmosphere. The members concluded their guest performance by roaming around the stage while singing their final song, "Fate."

Prior to this, I-DLE began their comeback stages on music programs starting with Mnet "M Countdown" on the 9th.

Beyond music shows, they have also been meeting fans through various web variety shows and live content, including SBS "Running Man" and JTBC "Knowing Bros."

The new song "Gimme Dat Love" reached number 1 on the Bugs real-time chart immediately after its release and also ranked at the top of the YouTube trending music chart in Korea. The B-side tracks "Crow," "Morning," and "Love Is Pain" also ranked high on the charts.
