(G)I-DLE’s “Good Thing” MV Explodes Online with 12 Million Views in 24 Hours.
K-pop powerhouse (G)I-DLE has done it again — and this time, they've gone viral with a vengeance. Their latest single “Good Thing”, released on May 19, 2025, has already pulled in over 12.7 million views on YouTube in just one day, landing at #3 on YouTube’s Trending chart.
Bold, electrifying, and dripping with confidence, “Good Thing” isn’t just another comeback — it’s a statement.
🔊 Retro, Raw, and Unapologetically IDLE
The track, which opens their new mini-album We are, blends early 2010s autotune vibes with a sharp, modern edge. Lyrically, it’s a fearless takedown of a cheating lover — and sonically, it pushes the group into bold new territory.
“It felt like I got shocked,” said Yuqi about hearing the demo.
Soyeon added, “We wanted to try something we’ve never done before.”
The result? A sound that's nostalgic and futuristic at the same time — and completely (G)I-DLE.
🎬 MV Packs a Punch
Set against hyper-saturated visuals, the music video is a riot of color, choreography, and chaos. From blood-red backdrops to sleek group formations, the visuals feel more like a mini action film than a standard idol MV.
The fan-favorite “thumbs up” dance move has already gone viral on TikTok, and comments across Reddit and YouTube are flooded with praise:
“The whole MV direction is insane. This is peak IDLE.”
“Every comeback, they level up. This one? Next dimension.”
