SEOUL, May 2 — K-pop girl group (G)I-DLE will officially change their name to "I-DLE," dropping the parenthetical “(G)” from their name, their agency Cube Entertainment announced.

On May 1, the group unveiled their new name via their official social media channels, removing the gendered prefix. The group has promoted under the name (G)I-DLE since their debut in May 2018.
