K-pop solo artists are introducing various activities that can showcase their own colors, talents and charms
While K-pop is still dominated by idol groups, solo singers are recently making attempts to prove their names and presence with more creative activities. Carrying out more diverse performances, they are arousing more attention and receiving favorable responses from the public. In particular, many K-pop idol group members have also presented new images different from what they have shown during group promotions through individual activities.
BTS’s Jungkook recently showed his extraordinary musicality through his solo debut album “GOLDEN”. Swepting the top spots on Billboard and iTunes charts, Jungkook has certified himself as a global pop star.
Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon is also known for her amazing achievements after making her solo debut. She recently announced the release of her 5th mini album “To.X” at the end of this month. This is her first comeback after 2 years since the hit song “INVU”. Regarding this new album, Taeyeon raised fans’ expectations as she promised to bring about a completely new music style.
Celebrating his 13th debut anniversary, INFINITE’s main vocal Nam Woo-hyun also excited fans by announcing his comeback with a solo album called “Whitree” after 2 years. It is expected that the male singer will sing ballad songs to warm up this winter season.
In addition, some began to find and discover their own music color after withdrawing from their group. After overcoming the contract lawsuit related to her former agency, ex-LOONA Chuu released her first mini album “Howl”. Through this album, the female singer wants to tell her sincere stories and unveil a new side of her that fans haven’t seen before.
Similar to Chuu, Bang Ye-dam will make his solo debut at the end of November with a self-produced solo album after leaving TREASURE. Through his first mini album “Only One”, Bang Ye-dam is expected to impress music listeners with his unique music color.
As such, the public is enthusiastically cheering for solo singers so that they can confidently show their individualities through music and improve the diversity of the K-pop industry.
