Grasp those lightsticks, besties, because MIYEON is now in her main character period. Today, her angelic-voiced queen of (G)I-DLE released her newest solo track “Sky Walking,” and it’s already providing “song of the year” energy. It’s available now on all streaming platforms with a Dolby Atmos version for those who enjoy her voice rattling our souls at a cell level.
This is not a comeback. This is MIYEON announcing to the entire planet: “I am THE singer, the inspiration, the moment.”
A Song That Feels Like Flying
Sky Walking” is the type of song you would run in the streets at midnight for, cry on a rooftop over, and afterwards freak out vogue walking along the crosswalk like you’re in a K-drama montage.
She first teased it during her solo stage on the 2024 I-dol World Tour in Seoul, and fans have been foaming at the mouth for the full version ever since. And oh boy did she deliver.
The song smacks you with a bold bassline, crisp drums, and those glittering 80s-inspired guitars and synths that make you want to throw on shoulder pads and roller skates. But then her voice. MIYEON’s vocals are like a glass of champagne at sunrise, sparkling, refreshing, and just the right amount of intoxicating. Lyrically, she’s basically whispering, “Baby, you’re free. Dream bigger. Fly higher.”
And gag us a little more. MIYEON helped write and compose it. Our main vocalist has stepped fully into her singer-songwriter bag.
From Rookie to Legend
MIYEON was made for this. Born Cho Mi-yeon in 1997, she was still out there studying violin, guitar, and piano when most of us were still learning how a glue stick works. When she joined (G)I-DLE in 2018, it was clear she was the group’s vocal foundation, its solid note which made chaos sparkle.
Then came KDA. As the voice of Ahri MIYEON took “POP/STARS” to Billboard’s World Digital Songs chart and directly into every gamer’s and TikToker’s bloodstream. That song wasn’t just a hit; it was a cultural reset.
Her solo EP [MY] (2022) proved she could also serve intimacy and elegance, giving us gems like “Drive” (and yes, she snatched a music show trophy for it). Since then, she’s been unstoppable. OSTs collabs with Raiden and Lee Donghae, becoming the longest-running female host of M Countdown and even starring in dramas like Replay The Moment and Delivery. At this point, she’s the definition of booked and busy.
Why Sky Walking Sounds So Iconic

Hearing this song is like watching her take her rightful spot as one of K-pop’s most multi-faceted and untouchable entities. There is more behind it than music, it’s choreography, it’s freedom, it’s MIYEON saying “I’m not just walking on the sky, babes. I own it.”
