K-pop girl group (G)I-DLE talks about their first English EP Heat, their fans’ reaction to “Queencard,” what they’ve learned from touring in the U.S., writing their own music and more in an interview with Billboard.

Miyeon:
This year we had our solo stages.

Tetris Kelly:
What is it like when somebody else is doing their solo stage? Are you, like, backstage, like, drinking water, relaxing, you take a break?

Minnie:
Basically we had, like, quick changes, we have to change our outfit, and then maybe take some selfies.

(G)I-DLE:
Yeah!

Soyeon:
Hi, we are…

Minnie:
And you’re watching Billboard News!

Tetris Kelly:
It’s Tetris with Billboard News, and it’s not every day you get to hang out with (G)I-DLE. Hi, ladies.

Tetris Kelly:
So let’s talk about your new music. Heat is out. It’s your first full English-language album. So why now? Why did you decide to do it?

Minnie:
It’s our debut EP in the U.S., so we’re super excited about this. And we just wrapped up our U.S. tour and you know, fans have been so supportive. We think that it’s about time to you know, give them back and be more connected to them. So we came up with this album, Heat. So yeah, we hope that they can like it.

Tetris Kelly:
Oh, they’re gonna love it! And you gotta help kind of describe the album to me. So tell me, if you could pick three emojis to describe Heat, what are they going to be?
