(G)I-DLE is well-loved for being a group that doesn’t necessarily conform to the strict standards often set for idol groups. For instance, Soyeon explained that she never expected to get a win with their latest title track, “TOMBOY.”
I’ve been shocked to see that this kind of song can win 1st place. [There are] some beeping parts and bad words in the song, right? In a way, as idol singers, there are some words we mustn’t use, right? I’m not sure why we should follow such a prejudice. Anyway, we persuaded people to break it.
