i-dle Teases 'Crow' Pre-Release Ahead of 9th EP 'We made' Drop

i-dle is moving closer to its next comeback, this time with a darker visual turn. The group's agency, Cube Entertainment, shared group concept photos on June 12 through its official social media, previewing "Crow," the pre-release track from the upcoming 9th EP "We made."

The new group photos lean on a stripped-down black palette to set the mood for "Crow." Members Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua appear in dark styling with bandanas, silver chains, and glitter hairpieces, their expressions matching the heavy tone. Earlier solo images put the focus on each member's visuals and props. The group shot pulls those individual looks into one frame.

"Crow" was first performed in February at the group's Seoul concert, "2026 i-dle WORLD TOUR 'Syncopation' IN SEOUL." Built around the image of a crow, the song is about proving yourself and moving forward without letting your surroundings hold you back.

The group is coming off a strong start to the year. Its digital single "Mono (feat. skaiwater)," released in January, hit number one on charts at home and abroad and won three trophies on Korean music shows. After leaning into the core of their music on that track, i-dle now picks up the run with the new EP.

The music video for "Crow" drops June 14 at 10 p.m. KST on the group's official YouTube channel, with the song itself out the next day, June 15, at 6 p.m. KST. The full 9th EP "We made" arrives July 6 at 6 p.m. KST across music platforms.
