The Ballad Of Memories

Shuhua's version is simpler, but perhaps the clearest distillation of the group's current mindset. "Even when there are many expectations or opinions around us," she shares, "we try to come back to what feels real to us." - SHUHUA about 'Mono'

“Rather than focusing on comparisons or following trends, we've always tried to concentrate on delivering the messages and stories we genuinely want to express through our music. And i believe that has become one of i-dle's greatest strengths.” - MINNIE

"When I view the world right now, I think it's a bit divided. There are so many stereotypes people have about each other, and sometimes those thoughts become very negative. But I don’t think there’s a reason for that negativity to exist." - SOYEON about 'Mono'.

"In a world filled with so many rules and expectations, it’s not always easy to truly express yourself and live the way you want. That’s why we want to move in a more honest and free direction as i-dle" - YUQI

"Instead of just overthinking or hesitating, I try to step into new situations and go after the things I truly want," through those experiences, I’m able to learn more about myself." - MIYEON about ‘Mono’.

“I’m actually so much stronger than I ever imagined.” ── Shuhua

“Everyone plays more than one role in life. I’m not just an idol; I’m also Yeh Shuhua herself.” She is a friend to someone, a family member to others, a dog mom… “Once I started using this mindset to balance all my different roles in life, I felt so much lighter.” ── Shuhua

“I can confidently say that I’m a very brave person. I feel that unless someone intentionally tries to hurt me, people actually can’t hurt me any more than they already have.” ── Shuhua

“The most painful time was when I couldn’t accept myself and even though I was in that state, there were still moments when I had to stand in front of everyone.” ── Shuhua

“I’ve always thought life is like entering an amusement park; we all have the same ticket, and whether life becomes wonderful depends on how much you experience” ── Shuhua

“I accept everything that happens and every different version of myself. I follow my own thoughts, live truly in the present, and have never had any regrets.” ── Shuhua

Her impression of P'June:

“I make music to start a conversation. If i lose my freedom of expression and hide out of fear of criticism, i consider that dead art.”
