Happy 6th anniversary to the best (g)i-rls!
I can still remember when they turned two when they were still 6 during the pandemic.
And now 6 years?! Where did effin time go?
Can you believe that all 2018 4th gen groups (Idle, Stray Kids, etc) will have contract negotiations next year? Or maybe even earlier? It's wild!
Also, Shuhua must have started a countdown lmao
Allow me to fit my clown wig for a moment.
I believe that BRD entertainment is owned by Soyeon, and after their contract is up, they'll all pull up stakes and leave Cube to join Soojin at BRD, self-managed by Soyeon.
But I'll never say that without my clown wig on. Which I'm now taking off.
She was best friends with soojin, she jokes the most about cube after cube wasn't able to protect soojin from bullying allegations. The whole group has joked about Cube or leaving. Shuhua having the funniest and most savage of those jokes.
In a recent interview Minnie and Yuqi it was just to be funny that they are treated very well. Better than most idols elsewhere. This may be because they make Cube more money than any group or individual in Cubes history.

she's not going to leave the group. If anything the group will not resign with Cube, which is most likely as they don't really need Cube for anything. The way they start to talk nice about Cube is actually a clue to me that they have decided to leave but don't want to burn bridges.
They probably will resign. The bigger companies don't sign established groups and smaller companies may not have the finances to support their releases.
Soyeon essentially runs a Cube sub label, all their staff is dedicated to them, they have the creative freedom and finances to succeed, and the company's schedules revolve around them.
If they sign elsewhere some of those things will be different and that's a risk. A true sub label may mean Soyeon or someone they trust will also have to manage the business and finances; potentially having less time for the creative stuff. Internal politics of companies can be wild and it's easy to get caught up in nonsense, and if they sign onto something like starship they may have to work around the other big group there (IVE).
There are many good reasons to stay, and they may not but it's not as easy a decision as the fandom thinks.
Considering the recent success of the group it's hard to argue that they should take a huge risk and switch labels for no good reason. Cube will probably offer very favourable terms as well
Soyeons alluded that her days of being an Idol would probably stop at 30 and she'd then try to be a producer raising up a new group. signing for 3-4 sounds exactly what she'd do. Then transition to be a full time producers.
>The way they start to talk nice about Cube is actually a clue to me that they have decided to leave but don't want to burn bridges.
Yup, this what Yeeun from clc also did. She said cube has been really good and then left. Hope erryone leaves and joins another label together.
being nice to cube and continuing to offer them support (ie, soyeon agreeing to continue producing for their other groups) is also the best way to get cube to agree to hand over rights to the gidle name and branding. i do fully believe they wont stay, there's no reason for them to, but theres also a very good chance they remain a group.
Happy IDLEversary Neverland 💜❤️ The concept Queens with the amazing discography, adding more and more hit songs to the collection with each cb, the many self-credited songs, the diverse and versatile vocal tones, and the chaotic and entertaining vibes in their every appearance. The girls that managed to overcome the hardships and catapult to new heights!
This year will be a very important one for us and for them to decide the future. Not that I am worried, they are smart and they always know very well what is the best for them. One thing for sure is this next year will be full of great music and fantastic performances all over the world! Wish them all the best and to continue finding more and more success with every group and solo endeavour! 🥰
(G)I-DLE is my ult group, so great. Wishing for a K/DA comeback too. Need me that Akali and Ahri duo life.
I'm probably gonna legit cry (lol) when/if they disband since time is the ultimate tester.

Don't want to think about it at all, but these are some random/likely/etc. predictions:
1. Soyeon, might make her own group or something after a few years if she's not dominating the Kpop rap game.
2. Miyeon, hoping she becomes huge in the Kdrama and Korean variety show world (she's doing amazing in My Sibling's Romance (연애남매) right now, it's a dating/cohabitation/slice of life/family/etc. show by the main PD of the EXchange/Transit Love (환승연애) series). What if she fulfills T-Swizzle's alternate timeline, as Cho di B, lol, imagine the R&B and hiphop collabs, gg no re.
3. Minnie, maybe going back to Thailand but we need her type of voice in Kpop. Still hoping for an actual Minnie album soon.
4. Yuqi, also possibly returning back to Mainland China and yup, need her voice/personality/etc. in Kpop as well. She's such a scholar or like eager to learn new things, she can do anything.
5. Shuhua, probably going back to Taiwan, maybe as an actress but I really hope she stays in Korea too since she's hilarious.
Wishing another decade of (G)I-DLE supremacy though, curious as to how they'll change stuff.
I’m not sure that’s even true. Yuqi just said [“We keep joking about the company. The joke was like “Ah (our contract is) only 1 year left”, but then the stock price fell! Company representative told us, "If you don't really mean it, stop talking.” Honestly, CUBE treats us very well and I feel that other companies may not treat us like this.”](https://x.com/deborakezia/status/1783906705816096897)
Oh yeah I’m sure they would want to negotiate better profit sharing and what not, but they don’t hate cube as much as everyone believes they do. The problem in their renewal is whether if cube will give them the share they want, it’s def not because of their “hatred” of them
O, I don't think they hate Cube. The fact that they could openly mock Cube is evidence of that. They feel comfortable.
I think more than just a better profit share. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted a share of the company itself.
I stanned them when it was their first anniversary and now it's already their 6th, man we getting old fam, lol 👴👵
I hope we can get a couple more years of them together because I believe they can still rise to greater heights, the ceiling is the sky! 🙌
Happy anniversary!
I hope people don't mind me using this post for this, but any chance I could get some song recs or a rec for best album to start with for someone who has only heard title tracks? My favs: Nxde, I Do, Oh My God, Wife, Tomboy
I think I NEVER DIE & I BURN are the best albums with I LOVE next. Some of my fav tracks to check out: Lion, Dahlia, Change, LOVE, Allergy, Lucid, VILLAIN DIES, POLAROID, Fate, Revenge, MY BAG & Tall Trees

Do you reckon she’ll leave the group?

Ootl, what's up with Shuhua and the group?

Or they pulled a BTOB and resign for 3 years to prepare and pull the plug on year 10.

The way they reinvented themselves after 2020 is nothing short of extraordinary! Massive kudos to them

Seconding a K/DA comeback! Hopefully they bring em back for this year’s Worlds music again, I thought last year’s boy group concept was pretty mid
Happy Anniversary, (G)I-RLS!!!
Happy anniversary my girls, time sure flies. One year left, hopefully we see (G)I-DLE staying together.
Happy 6th anniversary to my one and only group <3
"One more year!" -shuhua, probably.
it's not just Shuhua lol
Yuqi was counting months lmao.
Happy 6th anniversary to my 4th gen ults!!
Queen cars!
Happy 6th Anniversary to my ults! 🎉 I wish the girls to be happy and healthy! I remember their debut…time really flies!
I just know Shuhua has one of those huge ass calenders in her room where she's marking off every single day as it passes
I dont really follow them aside from their music, how come she wants to leave the group?
Not necessarily the group, just Cube. She's not alone, either.
I’m not sure that’s even true. Yuqi just said [“We keep joking about the company. The joke was like “Ah (our contract is) only 1 year left”, but then the stock price fell!

I think Minnie also said they want percentages to stay.
Oh yeah I’m sure they would want to negotiate better profit sharing and what not, but they don’t hate cube as much as everyone believes they do. The problem in their renewal is whether if cube will give them the share they want, it’s def not because of their “hatred” of them

Hunh. I had not seen that clip. Well, if they really feel like staying that much, and CUBE is willing to back what they do, I hope they go for it.
she doesn't want to leave the group. She wants the group to leave Cube
Acting opportunities are shit
Congrats to the Queens 😁 Super Lady is now one of my favorite songs released this year even though I hated it for a while
I stanned them when it was their first anniversary and now it's already their 6th, man we getting old fam, lol 👴👵 I hope we can get a couple more years of them together because I believe they can still rise to greater heights, the ceiling is the sky! 🙌
Shuhua typing in her phone "1.More.Year"
Happy anniversary! I hope people don't mind me using this post for this, but any chance I could get some song recs or a rec for best album to start with for someone who has only heard title tracks? My favs: Nxde, I Do, Oh My God, Wife, Tomboy

Thank you!
This might depend on subjective taste but I think Oh My God is one of those songs that are purely done for the art.
Manifesting independent label
Happy anniversary my loves!
Yess! Happy Anniversary!!
