Behind the scenes of I-DLE's preparations for their Hong Kong concert

(G)I-DLE has released behind-the-scenes footage capturing their stage preparations and daily lives ahead of their upcoming world tour stop in Hong Kong. The footage offers a diverse look at the group, ranging from tense conversations about the venue's scale and stage setup to playful moments between the members.

Members check the enlarged LED and stage height

During the preparation process, the members expressed their nerves as they inspected the changes in the stage setup. Faced with an LED screen that had grown larger than before and a stage height reaching 3.5m, the members shared anxious conversations regarding the height, expressing their hope to complete the performance safely. In particular, they shared details about the on-site situation, noting that because the LED had become larger than originally planned, the height difference might not be as noticeable.

Conversations themed around Disney characters also took place. When asked about their favorite Disney characters, one member jokingly picked Jungwoo, sparking laughter by claiming she wanted to date him when she was younger. The conversation continued with discussions on why they enjoy animation, with a member sharing how her mother's influence limited her drama viewing during her childhood. She lightheartedly explained how her preference for animation developed, recounting an anecdote where her mother prevented her from watching dramas rated for ages 15 and up due to scenes like kissing.

Excitement for the Hong Kong concert and Disney costumes

Ahead of the Hong Kong performance, the members expressed amazement at the scale of the local venue. While discussing the two-day concert schedule, they marveled at how massive the venue was, yet remained ready to take the stage looking their best. The atmosphere was filled with pre-show excitement, including jokes about looking like kindergarten teachers while discussing Disney character costumes. The members also showed their anticipation for the show by engaging in role-playing using Disney characters, with everyone expressing different preferences for which roles they would like to take.

Daily life before the show filled with mukbang and rest

The footage also captured the members taking breaks during their preparations. They spent time recharging their energy by ordering food. The members created a relaxed atmosphere, sharing meals, choosing menus, and engaging in casual conversations about eating and sleeping. One member, in particular, showed a lively side, emphasizing the need to eat to regain strength. The footage captured the realistic side of the members, who started their day with bread in their mouths and complained of fatigue throughout the day, yet sought to replenish their energy through food.

Even amidst the tension of the upcoming performance, the members spent their time engaging in cheerful banter. They continued their conversation with the logic that if humanity exists on Earth, other beings must exist as well, while reaffirming their determination for the Hong Kong concert. Furthermore, they demonstrated both their deep bond and their serious attitude toward preparing for the show by comparing their past musical foundations with their current changed environment.
