Soyeon looks back on her 20s with first full-length solo album

Soyeon, the leader and producer of the K-pop group i-dle, is set to return to the solo stage with her first full-length album, "The Awesome Life." This release comes five years after her last solo project. Cube Entertainment announced the album's release on Wednesday, coinciding with Soyeon's birthday. To mark the occasion, the company shared an introductory film on i-dle's official social media platforms at midnight.

The film takes viewers on a journey through Soyeon's life during her final years in her 20s. It begins with her first birthday party and progresses through her trainee days, her appearance on Mnet's "Produce 101," i-dle's debut, and her role as a producer. Phrases like "I always wanted to be new" and "I wanted to do better" are interspersed throughout the video, reflecting Soyeon's desire for self-improvement and change.

Soyeon revealed that she had been hesitant to create a full-length solo album for a considerable amount of time. As she looks back on this album, she hopes that when she becomes a grandmother, she can reflect on it as "really romantic." She expressed her excitement for fans, urging them to anticipate the release of "The Awesome Life." The film concludes by hinting at the album's contents, leaving viewers eager for more.
