(G)I-DLE released a new song called Tomboy on March 14. This is (G)I-DLE's first comeback since Soojin was kicked out of the group. (G)I-DLE debuted in 2018 with the 6-member lineup Minnie, Miyeon, Soyeon, Yuqi, Shuhua, and Soojin.

Dominate the music charts

In this comeback, (G)I-DLE has invested enthusiasm and brainpower to reinvent themselves into a 5-member group instead of 6 like before. Soojin was originally one of the most popular and charismatic members of the group.

(G)I-DLE faces a lot of pressure and expectations in this comeback. However, the group came back with a big bang, reminding the public how much potential they have yet to show everyone. Tomboy pursues the image of a girl crush with strong, deep vibes.

What attracts attention in Tomboy is the idea and the image. Every aspect - from the styling to the red color scheme, the creative use of the barbie and the variety of edits - makes for an artistic MV. Each member shows a different and attractive side. Viewers are not only guided by a unified concept, but throughout the MV also witness the shine of each member. In particular, the concept of girl crush is easy to become cliché with familiar words, but (G)I-DLE eliminates that concern.

(G)I-DLE has always shown a variety of styles, especially after the success of Uh Oh, Dumdi Dumdi, Oh My God and Lion. Therefore, it is not easy for them to continue to surprise the audience with their relentless change. However, with Tomboy, the group continues to amaze with a new, mature and mature image.

Another factor to mention is that the group's choreography has received rave reviews. Without Soojin, the remaining members have the opportunity to bring out their full potential.
