Trivia

Soyeon was a contestant on Produce 101 and Unpretty Rapstar 3.^[11]
Soyeon made her solo debut on November 5, 2017 before joining the group.^[11]
- In the music video for "Jelly", we can see a girl wearing a white fox mask. We later find out that the girl was Soojin.^{[citation needed]}
- In her comeback on February 2018, there is again the same girl in the music video for "Idle Song" and also some clues for (G)I-DLE members (an earth globe with indicators of their birth places and radio fixed on "450" (for April 5, their reveal date).^{[citation needed]}
Miyeon is a former YG Entertainment trainee.^{[citation needed]}
The meaning of the group's name is:^{[citation needed]}
- "(G)" (여자) is for "girl" and "Idle" (아이들) for "children".
- The "I" in "I-DLE" is for individuality and "DLE" is plural, so the girls each have the individual personalities but they are related.
Cube Entertainment was looking for a group name and after Soyeon sent the agency her song for her second digital single "Idle Song" it became the edited group's name "(G)I-DLE".
