i-dle continues to prove that its influence in Greater China is stronger than ever. The group's latest chart achievements have turned heads once again, while member Yuqi is building an equally impressive legacy as a solo artist.

The latest recognition came through the TME (Tencent Music Entertainment) 2026 First Half Korean Chart, announced on July 28. i-dle claimed the title of Best Group, adding another milestone to a year already packed with major accomplishments.

The group's success did not stop there. Their pre-release single "Mono (Feat. skaiwater)", unveiled in January, secured places in both the Best Song Top 10 and the High-Scoring Songs rankings. It was another sign that listeners embraced the track long before the group's latest comeback officially arrived.


When i-dle released its ninth mini album earlier this month, the momentum only grew stronger. The title track, "Gimme Dat Love," climbed to the top of the Tencent Music Korean Chart and the QQ Music Digital Album Chart, extending the group's winning streak across China's biggest digital music platforms.

Those results reflect more than a successful comeback. They underline the group's consistent ability to connect with audiences in one of the world's largest music markets, where competition remains fierce and chart positions rarely stay put for long.

Yuqi also delivered a standout performance on the first-half rankings. She earned the title of Best Solo Artist on the TME Korea Chart, reinforcing her growing reputation as an artist who can shine both within a group and on her own.


Her digital single "Radio (Dum-Dum)", released last year, captured the Best Song award while also finishing first in the platform's most streamed songs category. The achievement hits differently because the song has continued attracting listeners long after its release.

Perhaps the most remarkable statistic belongs to the song's incredible longevity. "Radio (Dum-Dum)" remained inside the Tencent Music Korea Chart Top 10 for 71 consecutive weeks, a rare accomplishment that highlights Yuqi's lasting popularity in the region.

Her solo career has steadily gathered momentum over the past year. Yuqi was promoted to full membership in the Korea Music Copyright Association, recognizing her growing contributions as a songwriter. She also received Tencent Music's 2026 Woman of the Year honor, strengthening her standing as one of the leading Korean artists in the Chinese market.

There is little time to celebrate. i-dle is already preparing for another major moment on the global stage. The group is scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza Chicago on July 31 local time, bringing its powerful live show to one of the world's biggest music festivals.

With dominant chart performances in China, an award-winning solo career for Yuqi, and another international festival appearance on the horizon, i-dle continues to move at full speed. The group keeps putting one achievement after another on the board, showing that its reach extends well beyond the traditional boundaries of K-pop.
