On Monday at 6 pm, i-dle's Soyeon is set to premiere her first full-length solo album, titled What a Wonderful Life. This marks her inaugural standalone project since the release of her 2021 EP, Windy. The album's lead single, I m Quitting (Narr. Kian84), delves into the experience of resigning from a job, a theme resonating deeply with Korean office workers.
The song is brought to life with a band-driven sound and features narration from Kian84, a webtoon artist and television personality who is signed to the hip-hop label AOMG.
The promotional materials for the album's release highlight the single with a tagline that reads: "I'm quitting. No regrets, nothing to miss. I never intended to work this hard anyway. Time to enjoy my glamorous life with a little romantic day." Two teaser music videos have been released, showcasing Soyeon quitting her job - in one scene, she throws salt behind her, a Korean superstition said to ward off bad luck - before leaving the office and checking items off her personal bucket list.
