NEVERLAND has scheduled a joyful day as MINNIE Nichaa Yontararak (MINNIE of i-dle), the popular Thai member of the global K-Pop girl group i-dle, returns home to celebrate her birthday with fans. She has prepared a special surprise exclusively for her Thai supporters: the launch of her first Thai-language digital EP, [i love you to the moon and back].
This work is heartfelt, expressing love through a romantic concept inspired by the lunar cycle—symbolizing feelings gradually growing clearer, from a crescent moon beginning to shine to the fully illuminated full moon. The EP features three songs with three moods, starting with the title track 'to the moon :)', a mid-tempo synth-pop song with soothing guitar lines and shimmering melodies that convey the moment of meeting the right person, along with a warm promise to love and care forever (I love you to the moon and back).
Next is 'insomnia', a pop/R&B track characterized by minimal lo-fi sounds and MINNIE’s charming vocals, portraying loneliness and longing during sleepless nights spent waiting for a message from someone important. The EP closes with 'white clouds', a ballad accompanied by gentle acoustic guitar, expressing the complex feelings of separation, sending thoughts and good wishes to a distant loved one through the imagery of white clouds.
This special occasion includes more than just new music, as MINNIE has created a memorable space for fans to share moments of love at the MINNIE ‘to the moon :) POP-UP’ event in Bangkok. The event will run for only three days—from 23 to 25 October 2026—at SPHERE GALLERY 1 on the M floor of EMSPHERE shopping center, open from 10:00 to 22:00.
Inside the event, activity zones and photo spots immerse visitors in MINNIE’s world. Highlights include the to the moon :) zone featuring cute landmarks of a black cat and moon, the white clouds zone, and the insomnia zone, each recreating the atmospheres of the album’s songs. The MINNIE zone displays exclusive photos, and a Photo Booth by Photoism offers themed frames with MINNIE designs—an unmissable chance for dedicated fans and photography lovers to capture special moments unique to this event.
Collectors will find exclusive merchandise available only at the event, including a stylish collaboration with Happy Sunday featuring cosmetic bags, hair ties, shopping bags, and pajama sets (available in Free and Chubby sizes). Also offered are Minnie Mouse keychains in collaboration with Take Toys, plus official MINNIE to the moon :) collection items such as embroidered caps, oversized T-shirts, die-cut stickers, and a photo card set containing five images of MINNIE with a premium camera-themed acrylic frame. Customers spending 1,500 baht or more will receive one free MINNIE Random Photo Card (from three designs).
A special highlight for shoppers on 23 and 24 October (limited to 50 customers per day, totaling 100 receipts) who spend at least 1,500 baht per receipt is the chance to win an exclusive invitation to the MINNIE SPECIAL LIVE IN BANGKOK event on 25 October 2026 from 18:00 to 20:00. There, fans can enjoy MINNIE’s live singing, intimate conversations, and unforgettable moments celebrating her birthday and the debut Thai EP.
