◇ Kwon Eun-bi comes back with irresistible charm...A love song with suppressed ambition
Kwon Eun-bi, the first member of IZONE to begin solo activities, has been working restlessly over the past year and is already releasing her third mini album.
She said, "I was very nervous at my first showcase, but I have become more confident although still quite nervous," adding, "I have suppressed all my irresistible charm into this album" during her media showcase in Seoul.
Like the title of the album "Lethality," the album is composed of six songs which maximize her fascinating charm.
Title song "Underwater" compared the desire to forever be with the lover to the deep sea.
Kwon said, "I have reinterpreted the legend 'The Lorelei' in my own way and used it as my visual concept for this album," adding, "I tried to make the impression as if I am really in the deep water like the title of the song 'Underwater.'"
Kwon has shown leadership when she was the leader of IZONE. She said members still keep in touch, sharing comeback announcements and sending supports even after the group broke up.
She showed off their friendship, saying, "Chaewon from Le Sserafim complemented me saying I looked pretty when she watched my teaser. Thanks to her, I came here feeling good."
Regarding other members like Lee Chaeyeon, IVE, and Le Sserfim, she said "I feel proud when watching other members' stages," adding, "We promised to talk more at waiting rooms. Seeing them all grown up makes me proud."
With Lee Chaeyeon who returned on the same day as she, She said, "I feel sorry that she didn't get much spotlight because I also made the comeback on the same day as she debut as solo," adding, "But I was thankful when she said it will rather become a synergy for both of us."
◇ Lee Chaeyeon debuts as solo... MZ generation vampire
Lee Chaeyeon made a start as solo artist with her first mini album "HUSH RUSH."
Lee said, "It is my first time to fill 3-min MV by myself and to sing all the songs in the album with my voice," adding, "It really was a time I could focus more on myself."
For her debut album Hush Rush, the singer expressed the thrill vampire who was trapped in an old castle feels when waking up from sleep with her imagination.
Title song "Hush Rush" is a pop genre song with catchy base and depicts love story of vampire who fall in love with her who dances under the moonlight.
Lee said, "I plan to show Kitsch and sentimental side of vampire, not frightening and horrifying vampire," adding, "I will express this concept with the imagination of bubbly MZ generation."
Lee became the last member of IZONE after its break-up to challenge K-pop market except Kim Min-joo who turned her path to actress.
She said, "I really missed the stage, and it is true that I became little impatient to show my stage fast," adding, "But because I had those times, this stage is more special."
