(G)I-DLE's Minnie, Miyeon, and Yuqi have unveiled their cover photoshoot for the March issue of 'Cosmopolitan'. Minnie, Miyeon, and Yuqi showcased their unique style and elegant beauty in this photoshoot. Their confident poses and seductive expressions, representing "Super Lady", received continuous praise.
With their second full-length album '2' breaking its own record with 1.53 million copies sold in its first week, (G)I-DLE has demonstrated their strength by ranking fifth in the all-time first-week sales among girl groups. Yuqi expressed, "We've been in the industry for 7 years now. Even though it's not easy to keep growing after all this time, I feel really proud to achieve such results. It's a blessing to be able to grow." Miyeon added, "The sales figures are truly unbelievable compared to when we first debuted. I'm thankful to the fans who made miracles beyond just being moved. When we debuted, we just wanted to have fun making music together and never lose that spirit, but it's great to see so many people relate to our music and listen together."
They also discussed the concept of their title track 'Super Lady' and the definition of being a "Super Lady". Miyeon said, "Throughout our various songs, we've always conveyed the message of 'love yourself as an independent person'. Among those songs, isn't 'Super Lady' the most 'elder sister-like' song?" and continued, "At first, I felt a bit burdened whether I fit the concept of 'Super Lady'. Flashy costumes and images are just means to convey the message better. Regardless of how flashy or impressive you look, I think being a 'Super Lady' means conveying the message of 'show yourself as you are, loving yourself as you are'. So I think I'm a 'Super Lady' too," she said with a smile. Minnie expressed, "I hope many people gain confidence after listening to 'Super Lady'. Without comparing yourself to others, if you have high self-esteem and self-assurance, everyone is a 'Super Lady'."
The photoshoot and interview of (G)I-DLE's Minnie, Miyeon, and Yuqi will be available for purchase at bookstores nationwide from February 23, 2024, and can also be found on the Cosmopolitan Korea website and Instagram.
