Girl group (G)-IDLE will release its first full-length album “I Never Die” on March 14, its agency Cube Entertainment announced Thursday.

The agency released a teaser image of the album on its official social media platforms. It’s the group’s first album since its debut in May 2018 and marks its return to the music industry after member Soojin left the group in August last year.

Soojin dropped out of the group after she was embroiled in a school bullying scandal. She has been under fire since February after several netizens accused her of bullying her schoolmates in middle school, ranging from physical to verbal abuse, including actor Seo Shin-ae who attended the same school as the singer.

The group’s popular songs include “Latata” (2018), “Senorita” (2019), “Oh My God” (2020) and “Dumdi Dumdi” (2020). Its current members are Miyeon, Soyeon, Yuqi, Shuhua and Minnie.
