K-pop sensation Miyeon of (G)I-DLE just dropped her electrifying solo single, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Her self-written track, “Sky Walking”, marks a jaw-dropping moment in her career as she steps into the spotlight not just as a performer, but as a composer and lyricist. Released August 28 at 6 p.m. KST through Cube Entertainment, this debut is a game-changer—and fans around the globe are flying high!
For the first time, Miyeon takes full creative control with “Sky Walking,” writing both the lyrics and music. This isn’t just a solo—it’s her artistic statement. Having performed it live during the 2024 I-DLE WORLD TOUR [iDOL], Miyeon knew this track was special. Her dream? To gift fans something uniquely hers. And with this song, she’s done just that.

“Sky Walking” blends nostalgic 1980s pop elements with energetic alternative vibes—shimmering synths, rich guitars, and a pulsing beat. The result? A dreamy, upbeat soundscape that lets Miyeon’s clear vocals soar. The song’s euphoric energy makes it a sonic escape, inviting listeners to leave their worries behind and embrace hope.
Miyeon’s message is heartfelt. In her own words, “Since ‘Sky Walking’ was the first song I ever composed and revealed to fans, I hope it will be a gift that brings joy.” Her emotional bond with Neverland (I-dle’s fandom) is front and center. She promises more musical treasures in the future—and her fans know she delivers.
Before the digital drop, Cube Entertainment unveiled a cinematic “Macau Version” clip. The video shows Miyeon singing on breathtaking rooftops and strolling dreamy streets, shifting from sunlit day to neon night. It captures the soul of the song—freedom, light, and a touch of fantasy. NME 2025
“Sky Walking” first made waves during the group’s August Seoul concert. The live response? Thunderous. It later dazzled international fans at KCON Germany 2024. The official clip released that December gave fans another magical glimpse of Miyeon’s solo universe.
Born in 1997, Miyeon trained in violin, piano, and guitar long before her 2018 debut. Her breakout with (G)I-DLE skyrocketed with global hits and her role as Ahri in virtual group K/DA. Her 2022 EP [MY] clinched her first music show win—a sign of solo stardom ahead.
Fans of League of Legends will know her as the voice of Ahri in K/DA’s mega-hit “POP/STARS.” That vocal power? It’s all over “Sky Walking.” Miyeon seamlessly bridges gaming culture and K-pop—a rare feat among idols.
While she shines with (G)I-DLE, “Sky Walking” proves Miyeon can stand alone with fearless creativity. The track is personal, potent, and profoundly catchy—a signature moment in her evolution.
With her composing debut, Miyeon isn’t just singing—she’s story-building. Her ability to convey raw emotion while crafting polished soundscapes sets her apart in the ever-evolving K-pop landscape.
This milestone is only the beginning. Miyeon has made it clear: more original music is on the way. If “Sky Walking” is any hint, the next chapter will be even more unforgettable.
