i-dle have returned with their new digital single "Mono," reaffirming their global impact through both music and visuals.
The group released "Mono" on January 27 across major music platforms, unveiling the official music video along with a large-scale mega crew performance video.
The music video drew attention for its use of pendulum art, a visual technique that creates patterns through oscillating motion to symbolize layered emotions. The sharp contrast between black-and-white scenes and a sudden shift to color heightened the message, particularly during the line, "You know you were born to love."
The response extended beyond Korea. The music video topped Korea's daily trending music video chart and reached No.27 on the global trending rankings.
International media also took note. U.S. outlet Stardust praised the release, stating that the visual imagery emphasizes inner strength and showcases i-dle's continuously evolving artistry.
The mega crew performance video delivered a similarly strong impact. Joined by a massive dance crew, the members presented a performance defined by scale and intensity. Despite being additional content, it ranked on YouTube trending charts in multiple countries, including South Korea, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Russia.
Meanwhile, i-dle continue their music show promotions with "Mono."
