CUBE Entertainment first confirmed news of the upcoming release in December 2023, after South Korean news outlets reported that the girl group would soon be releasing their second studio album. At the time of publishing, (G)I-DLE have yet to announce additional information such as the record’s lead single, track list or teaser release schedule.

‘[2]’ will be their first release of 2024, arriving about four months after their first English EP ‘Heat’, which was in collaboration with 88rising. That record was led by the single ‘I Want That’, and preceded by the release of their debut English single ‘I Do’ in July 2023.

Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE’s last domestic comeback was their May 2023 mini-album ‘I Feel’, which was led by the title track ‘Queencard’. In a four-star review of that record, NME’s Rhian Daly wrote that it “presents a group unafraid to make bold moves as they grow creatively”. ‘Queencard’ was later named one of NME’s 25 Best K-pop songs of 2023.

In other K-pop news, WJSN member SeolA has shared details of her upcoming single album ‘Inside Out’, due out later this month. Led by the title track ‘Without U’ the release will make her the first of the 10-member act to embark on her solo music career.
