i-dle Heats Up 'PSY Drench Show' to Wrap Up First Week of Comeback Promotions
K-POP girl group i-dle wrapped its first week of promotions for a new EP with chart wins across Asia and a high-profile guest spot at one of Korea's biggest summer concerts.
The five-member group, made up of Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi and Shuhua, released its ninth EP "We made" on the 6th. The group performed the title track "Gimme Dat Love" for the first time on Mnet's "M Countdown" on the 9th. Two days later, i-dle appeared as a guest at "Psy's Heum-Ppeok Show Summer Swag 2026 – Incheon," held at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium.
The group opened its guest set with "TOMBOY." The crowd cheered on the group's entrance and sang along. After a short greeting, the members moved into "Queencard" and walked out onto an extended stage for the performance.
"We're back with our new song 'Gimme Dat Love,'" the members told the crowd. "We wanted to show you the stage we prepared." Fans watched the title track under the show's signature water sprays. The group closed its guest slot with "Nxde."
Earlier in the week, i-dle also unveiled its pre-release track "Crow" on "M Countdown." The staging leaned into Korean tradition, with the members styled in all black and using the gat, a traditional wide-brimmed hat, along with crow imagery drawn from the song. The group has also expanded its promotions through SBS's "Running Man" and JTBC's "Knowing Bros," plus a range of web variety shows and live content.
"Gimme Dat Love" moved fast on the charts after release. The single hit No. 1 on the Bugs real-time chart, one of Korea's main domestic music services, and climbed high on YouTube Korea's trending music chart. Other tracks from the EP, including "Crow," "Morning" and "Love Is Pain," also charted.
The EP itself landed at No. 1 on China's Tencent Music Korea chart, the TME Global K-chart, Japan's iTunes K-POP albums chart, and China's QQ Music daily and weekly digital bestseller charts. It also lifted the group's numbers on country-level Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes Top Songs and YouTube Music daily charts.
i-dle plans to continue its second week of comeback promotions with more television appearances in the days ahead.
