I-DLE - MONO

The music video for i-dle’s “Mono (Feat. skaiwater),” released on January 27, 2026, as their latest digital single under Cube Entertainment, is a striking black-and-white visual manifesto that champions authenticity, self-love, and unity in a divided world. Directed with minimalist yet powerful cinematography, the video features the five members—Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua—leading a massive mega crew in large-scale, synchronized dance sequences through urban crowds and stark, monochromatic sets, symbolizing tuning out external noise to focus on one’s true essence. The visuals build from quiet, introspective moments of individual close-ups and subtle hand gestures to explosive group formations under dramatic lighting, perfectly syncing with the track’s easy-listening, minimalist beat, layered vocals, and skaiwater’s addictive rap bridge. Lyrics like “Play the whole world in Mono” and lines affirming “Whether East or West / Whether straight or gay / Dance to your real vibe” come alive through empowering choreography and symbolic motifs of breaking free from judgment, creating an immersive, thought-provoking experience that reinforces i-dle’s bold identity and inclusive message ahead of their upcoming world tour.
