OMG, Nevies, our queens (G)I-DLE just absolutely *slayed* Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’ on February 5th, snatching their first-ever trophy for their digital single ‘Mono (Feat. skaiwater)’! This is literally the first win of their 2026 group comeback era, and we are *so* here for it!
The visuals? ICONIC. Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua rocked the stage in crisp white crop tops and trendy jeans, serving major monotone vibes that had everyone whipped. Their stage presence was unmatched, with diverse dancers joining them for some epic voguing choreography. And get this – their live vocals were *rock solid* throughout, even during the intense dance, getting the whole crowd to sing along! Main character energy, for real.
When they bagged that 1st place trophy, they were beaming! They thanked their beloved Neverland in Korean, Chinese, and Thai, promising to work even harder. Their encore stage? Flawless! Holding that trophy, smiling at each other, and delivering another stable live performance that was just as good as their main stage. We stan legends!
‘Mono (Feat. skaiwater),’ which dropped on January 27th, is all about embracing your unique self, no rules, just pure essence – a message only (G)I-DLE could deliver with such flair. It immediately topped charts both domestically and globally, proving they’re off to a *lit* start for the year. Plus, their ‘Mono’ mega crew video is racking up views, hitting YouTube’s ‘Most viewed videos in the past 24 hours’ and charting in Russia, Canada, the UK, and Germany! Global domination, anyone?
Catch them continuing their ‘Mono’ promo on KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’ on February 6th! Get ready for more *slayage*!
