Yuqi of (G)I-DLE is preparing for a much-anticipated solo comeback.

On August 12, Cube Entertainment told Dispatch, “Yuqi is currently working on a new album, aiming for a September release. Please look forward to it.”

Yuqi made her solo debut last year with her first mini-album YUQ1, earning critical and commercial success. The release sold over 550,000 copies in its first week, ranking third in K-pop female solo history for highest first-week sales and setting the record for the best-selling mini-album by a female soloist.

Earlier this year, she dropped the digital single Radio (Dum-Dum), blending hip-hop and R&B with her signature low-register vocals. As a songwriter and producer, Yuqi has contributed to both (G)I-DLE’s albums and her solo work, as well as collaborations like her June project with Nows.

Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE will perform at Japan’s largest music festival, SUMMER SONIC 2025, on August 16–17.
