Yuqi

Song Yuqi (宋雨琦), known simply as Yuqi (우기), has become one of the clearest cross-market stars in i-dle. After moving from Beijing to train under CUBE Entertainment, she built a recognisable lane through her husky tone, easy variety instincts, and songwriting presence inside the group's catalogue.

Her solo work has steadily widened that profile. Yuqi first stepped out with A Page in 2021, then turned the scale up with the 2024 mini album YUQ1 and the 2025 single album Motivation. Those releases matter because they sharpened her voice as more than an idol member with side content. They framed her as a performer who can carry her own visual campaign, solo hooks, and release cycle.

Outside the studio, Yuqi has kept a real television footprint through Keep Running and short-form hosting, while even a brief Netflix appearance in Celebrity underlined how marketable her persona is across formats. That range is what keeps her relevant. Yuqi is not only part of a major group. She is now a durable solo asset in her own right.

Fans Also Ask

Where is Yuqi from?
Yuqi was born in Beijing on September 23, 1999 and later moved to South Korea after passing a CUBE Entertainment audition. She remains the Chinese member most closely associated with i-dle's cross-border reach, balancing Korean promotions with a strong profile in Chinese television and digital media.
When did Yuqi debut as a solo artist?
Yuqi first led a solo release cycle in 2021 with A Page, but her larger standalone push arrived with the 2024 mini album YUQ1. That release gave her a full visual and promotional frame as a soloist under CUBE Entertainment, six years after her 2018 debut with i-dle.
What shows has Yuqi appeared on outside i-dle?
Yuqi became especially visible through the Chinese variety giant Keep Running, where her personality and quick reactions translated well to mainstream TV. She also hosted Learn Way in Korea and built a reputation as one of the more naturally adaptable idol entertainers across both markets.
What is Yuqi's latest solo release?
Yuqi's latest major solo release is the 2025 single album Motivation, announced by CUBE Entertainment for September 16 with the lead track M.O. The project followed her 2024 mini album YUQ1 and showed that her solo career was moving into a faster, more regular release rhythm.
Has Yuqi done acting work?
Yes, though music remains the center of her profile. Yuqi made a brief acting appearance in the 2023 drama Celebrity, released by Netflix, which added another lane to an already broad public image built across idol music, variety, endorsements, and solo promotions.
