I-DLE member SOYEON proved her undeniable stage presence at a major hip-hop festival.
SOYEON made a surprise appearance at the 'HIPHOPPLAYA FESTIVAL 2026', the largest hip-hop festival in Korea, held at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, on May 2.
SOYEON captured the audience's attention as the first performer for the 'Lil Moshpit & Friends' set, which served as the finale for Stage 10 of the festival. She immediately ignited the crowd by performing 'ICE BLUE RABBIT', a track previously showcased exclusively during I-DLE's world tour.
'ICE BLUE RABBIT' is a hyper-pop track characterized by intense electronic sounds and unconventional beats. SOYEON drew an enthusiastic response with her signature rap and a performance featuring dancers wearing rabbit masks. Throughout the set, she actively engaged with the crowd, further elevating the festival's energy.
The song was first unveiled as SOYEON's solo stage during the group's fourth world tour, '2026 I-DLE WORLD TOUR [Syncopation]', held in Seoul this past February. Through this performance, SOYEON revealed her musical identity by confirming that she was the artist 'icebluerabbit' who participated in composing the digital single 'Mono (Feat. skaiwater)'.
Meanwhile, on the same day, SOYEON celebrated I-DLE's 8th anniversary by hosting a live broadcast with her fellow members to connect with fans. The following day, on May 3, she continued her active schedule by throwing the ceremonial first pitch at the LG Twins vs. NC Dinos baseball game at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul.
I-DLE is currently in the midst of their fourth world tour, '2026 I-DLE WORLD TOUR [Syncopation]', and is in the final stages of preparation for a comeback targeted for this July.
