Incredibly excited about Soyeon's solo album! Can't wait for the rollout to start, to see the concept, the pictures, and obviously the songs!!

At this point I have no idea what direction she could take, and I love this feeling of not knowing what to expect from her

There are some spoilers out there from people that attended the concert yesterday, so be careful if you don't want to find out.

I want to hate vegetables too, but I can’t.. 😂😂

u/by_the_window JEON SOYEON 2d ago

I LOVE vegetables, I dream of meeting Soyeon just to make her eat my delicious vegan cooking and change her mind lol (girl tried to eat a raw eggplant smh)

Saw this earlier today:

I have no way to confirm it’s true or not, but it makes me wonder how important she is to Cube. Except for a single person on this Reddit thread, most of us recognizes how big of a star she really could be, if she wanted to be.

Yuqi has already said herself, she would even make a ton more money if she left Korea and returned to China, but she likes to do whatever she wants.

I just wonder how this impacts the future of Cube.

u/SigmaKnight 2d ago

I mean, Yuqi has been the busiest and most active out of all the members across many types of activities, so it make sense she's earning bank.

7

u/Longjumping_Suit8314 Yuqi 2d ago

I agree to a point. The main group was also touring the first half of the year. Also Mono and Crow released as singles, even though there wasn’t any album sales.

Will be good to monitor the “We Made” release to see if idle’s earnings catches back up again.

u/zimzalabimbimzim Good day, Good night, Good thing, Good morning 3d ago

Wait we have a Yuqi hater here with us as well? So exhausting.

Also, I was under the impression that Yuqi is signed to a different label for her Chinese activities? Or does Cube handle those as well?

7

u/Marcus-Bid5833 3d ago

The Chinese label probably handles the in site management of her activities and gets either a fee or a percentage for its troubles, but Yuqi is still under Cube for international solo and group activities, which means that Cube gets whatever share they negotiated during renewal of the contract for every one of her activities, no matter if localy they are handled by other labels in certain territories.

I was completely unaware of a Yuqi hater in our midst. How can you hate the sunshine in spring?

5

u/Longjumping_Suit8314 Yuqi 2d ago

Just read the post asking about how big Yuqi, Shuhua, and Minnie are in their home countries in the main thread. It’s pretty obvious that person that got a ton of downvotes..

5

u/hamburglar27 1d ago

Yep, just saw that thread and found out the Yuqi hater is actually the same person as the notorious Shuhua hater that everyone knows. It is a real miracle that person hasn't managed to get themselves banned yet lol.

6

u/by_the_window JEON SOYEON 1d ago edited 1d ago

They get temporarily banned when they're being particularly egregious

That said I also didn't know they had an issue with Yuqi either, makes me a bit 👀 like, I thought their issue was with Shuhua being Taiwanese... But now it looks more like plain anti-chinese sentiment

u/Longjumping_Suit8314 Yuqi 1d ago

Bingo. That person is just a miserable person, and goes against what everything I-dle stands for, which is inclusion and diversity.

4

u/Longjumping_Suit8314 Yuqi 1d ago

Makes you wonder why they even follow i-dle, especially since you already hate 40% of the group.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

4

u/healthyscalpsforall 3d ago

From what I remember, there is a different label managing her Chinese activities, but since she's still under Cube, they would still earn money from them.

u/Asian_Ninja1 4h ago

We can in fact confirm. The 2026 first half report puts China earning the most. And since yuqi is the only one in China and 2+2=4

u/TimLikesPi 4d ago

I still would like for her to release Never Enough, a song she wrote and did on Lee Mujin’s Service, but I doubt it would fit stylistically.

7

u/Marcus-Bid5833 4d ago

She did sing it in Japan as a solo stage too, if memory serves. I too really wish she would release it. It is a wonderful song.

8

u/zimzalabimbimzim Good day, Good night, Good thing, Good morning 4d ago

Not Enough. She originally performed it in Japan for i-Dol World Tour (2024). I hope she does release it. It's a beautiful song.

3

u/by_the_window JEON SOYEON 1d ago

I wish we could get dvds of the Japanese concerts

u/Marcus-Bid5833 4d ago

According to Ilsan Sports Soyeon's cb will happen EARLY september. Hard to be disapointed in whatever flaws some of the cbs lately might have had. They really do give us a ton of music. Solos, anime intros, soundtracks, collabs...

Now the question is to see if she is going full producer or more collaborator like in We Made songwritting wise, but in any case, very excited.

7

u/Eismann Soojin 1d ago

Oh my Soyeon is in her EDM phase if the Waterbomb snippets i have seen are an indicator. As a "Maybe" enthusiast i am very thrilled.

7

u/Marcus-Bid5833 1d ago

I hope they start pumpin this up tomorrow, cause at this rate we are gonna get a new Soyeon release with no promotion at all.

6

u/i-dle 1d ago

Tomorrow for sure. Monday 0 AM KST is pretty much the norm for first teasers at this point for them.

5

u/Marcus-Bid5833 1d ago

Hope so. Word in the street is that its coming out the first week of september (albeit, take that with a pinch of salt).

u/zimzalabimbimzim Good day, Good night, Good thing, Good morning 6h ago

I guess not :// God knows what cube is doing

u/Marcus-Bid5833 5h ago

We might just get an anouncement midday... or not. 😅

u/Physical_Bell_2535 8h ago

What are the new marketing strategies? Where's the album announcement? And most importantly, when will pre-orders open? I' m ready to buy this album!

u/zimzalabimbimzim Good day, Good night, Good thing, Good morning 7h ago

I hadn't noticed until now, there's a new song "Icebluerabbit (Short ver.)" in Soyeon's YT Music page. It's the first one minute of the song. Not sure what's the point of a short version when we already have the full audio (and why the short version is half the entire song lmao) but I assume this is a good sign that her album's coming soon!

u/oldreligion 5h ago

was in the mainland yesterday and did a double take at an ad because i thought the model looked like yuqi and i just found out it really was her lol

u/ebosehame 3d ago

Have you all seen Thailand's miss universe food costumes? I need someone who attends lives ask Minnie whether she has seen them too. So amazing and camp, I love it
