Known for their distinct sound that blends K-pop with various genres like pop, hip-hop, and EDM, (G)I-DLE quickly became a significant force in the music industry. Soojin contributed to the group's success with her powerful performances and charismatic stage presence. Notable works include the group's debut EP "I Trust" (2020), which features the hit single "Oh My God," and their sophomore album "I Burn" (2021), showcasing her versatility and artistry. The group also received critical acclaim for their self-produced tracks, highlighting Soojin's involvement in the creative process.
