Through the crack of light A single shard shining on me When it shines on the wall full of scribbles Within those meanings A wound cut deep Bleeds down, unmoving Unable to heal When my heart reflects In the clear pupils It flows down before I know Broken again, fragile eyes I've collapsed at that answer I try to avoid the swapped gazes Like that clear glass I'm broken cold And I can't be seen anymore The sight of me still running away Through the crack of light Stillness rains through When I let a heart of transparent color bloom What I’d hidden inside The wound cut savagely Soon seeps in Unable to erase Over the eyes I close Once darkness falls It flows down before I know Broken again, fragile eyes I've collapsed at that answer I try to avoid the swapped gazes Like that clear glass I'm broken cold And I can't be seen anymore The sight of me still running away Into the light surrounding me I seep in, deeper Fragile eyes, illuminating my vision Yours and mine, fragile eyes Though merely the sparkling of a moment Even when we connect a faint promise Like that clear glass I'm broken cold And I can't be seen anymore The sight of me still running away 빛의 틈새로 날 비추는 한 조각 낙서로 가득한 벽을 비추면 그 의미들 속에 깊숙이 베인 상처가 가만히 흘러내려 아물지 못해 투명한 동공에 내 맘이 비치면 어느새 흘러 내려와 또 깨져버린 fragile eyes 그 대답에 무너져버린 나 뒤바뀐 시선을 피해 봐도 저 투명한 유리처럼 차갑게 깨져버린 날 더는 볼 수 없어 아직도 도망치는 내 모습 빛의 틈새로 쏟아지는 고요함 투명한 색깔의 맘을 피우면 그 안에 감춰둔 지독히 베인 상처가 어느새 스며들어 지우지 못해 감아본 두 눈에 어둠이 내리면 어느새 흘러 내려와 또 깨져버린 fragile eyes 그 대답에 무너져버린 나 뒤바뀐 시선을 피해 봐도 저 투명한 유리처럼 차갑게 깨져버린 날 더는 볼 수 없어 아직도 도망치는 내 모습 날 감싼 빛에 더 스며들어 Fragile eyes 시야를 밝혀오네 너와 나의 fragile eyes 한순간의 반짝임이지만 희미한 약속을 이어봐도 저 투명한 유리처럼 차갑게 깨져버린 날 더는 볼 수 없어 아직도 도망치는 내 모습 "HaSeul ARTMS Haseul's digital single 'Fragile Eyes' Haseul's pristine voice, like that of a real-life girlfriend, provides great comfort and love for the fans. 'Fragile Eyes' is a city pop track that follows 'Plastic Candy', singing of the lonely sentiment of twenty-somethings living in a cold city. May a cold consolation, rather than a cozy one, serve as a gift to the fans." Composed by sweetch, ddodde Lyrics by sweetch, U.je Arranged by sweetch, ddodde Chorus by daybea Synthesizer by ddodde E.

Girls in Snow Into the vast adventures of ARTMS, the girls in the lightly falling snow. Heejin Today’s TMI I went to the nail shop for the pictorial shoot, and I got nail extensions on a whim! At first I was just going to get the basic design. But I like it, so I feel good about that My own unique charm Many people have told me that my medium-low tone voice is an unexpected charm, given my looks. The low voice becomes a charming point so that makes even more of an impression, you could say? Three things I love right now Ourii, ARTMS, and beer! (Laughs) A role I definitely want to fulfill in the group I hope my members will get happy energy when they’re with me! What about being in ARTMS makes you happy So many things. It’s so nice that I can be with Haseul unnie, Lip unnie, Jinsoul unnie, and Choerry. You know how when you’re with people you love, even if you’re not doing anything special, you feel safe and it’s nice. And I’m so fortunate to be able to work towards the same goal with people who love music. I am a blessed person! Plans for the new year I’d like to go meet even more fans globally. We wrapped up our world tour well this year, but there are still many Ourii all over the world who are waiting for us. Here’s hoping for more growth for Arr in 2025, and I love you all Haseul Today’s TMI I ate tteokbokki My own unique charm Voice! Three things I love right now Ourii, ARTMS, Kia Tigers! A role I definitely want to fulfill in the group I’d like to be the team’s emotional anchor. I want to help us not be shaken and move in the right direction, to rely on each other and enjoy music What about being in ARTMS makes you happy The fact that we five members get to be together is happiness in itself. As we prepared for the album and toured, I was able to complete those things joyfully because I had the members, and I think I’ll continue growing because I have my members Plans for the new year ARTMS music show win! I am really confident in this album, so I really want to achieve this Kim Lip Today’s TMI Dyed my roots~ My own unique charm Distinctive voice Three things I love right now Family, ARTMS, Ourii~ A role I definitely want to fulfill in the group We’ve never gone traveling as a team with all the members, and I really want to lead us on a trip! What about being in ARTMS makes you happy I’m so thankful to be one of the five members of ARTMS, and the time I’m spending with the members feels so precious. These times that I get to spend with the members make me happy Plans for the new year In 2025, I want to release even more albums as ARTMS to make us better known Jinsoul Today’s TMI When I get into a particular food, I eat that until I get sick of it. Right now I’ve been eating waffles for a month My own unique charm I am honest [jinsol] just like my name, and I have a relaxed way of speaking and a soulful tone! Three things I love right now My people around me, food, and gaming are my loves lately A role I definitely want to fulfill in the group I haven’t given it a proper try yet, but I’d like to participate in musical production or video production and help craft ARTMS with my own hand! I think it’d be even more fun if the members did it all together What about being in ARTMS makes you happy Even getting together in this way was not an easy thing, so I’m really grateful for this. Also the five of us have pretty distinctive characteristics, and I think it’s so nice that we can help fill each other’s deficiencies with each other’s strengths Plans for the new year We have a new album and tour planned as ARTMS, and we’re hard at work preparing. Also personally, it’s been too long since I’ve done a family trip so next year I really want to go! Choerry Today’s TMI I wore new pink contacts (laughs) My own unique charm I think my charm is how I smile easily and I’m so bright. That’s why I also get less stressed than others, I think Three things I love right now Ourii, the members, my family A role I definitely want to fulfill in the group I hope my role can be always giving strength and laughter to the unnies whenever they’re having a hard time or are exhausted. When the unnies are happy and when they laugh, that’s when I’m happiest too What about being in ARTMS makes you happy There’s a lot that makes me happy about us being ARTMS, but I’m happy that I get to have mundane conversations with the unnies, and so happy to be growing and walking together with our sights set on the same place Plans for the new year I want to keep my diary without getting backed up, and as ARTMS I want to do more diverse activities and meet more often with Ourii ARTMS Hi, how was today’s photoshoot? Kim Lip : It was our first group pictorial shoot of 2025 and it was so much fun. We look so cold in the photo. (Laughs) I feel good that we look so pretty in it. The theme was “ARTMS’ winter story”. What is ARTMS’ stance as you face the new year? Haseul : Passion. We’re gonna place first on Billboard! Our next song is incredible. We’re gonna become a girl group that takes over the world. As the new year arrives, we have this ambition that we are going to become incredible people who overcome ourselves. (Laughs) You also recently successfully completed your world tour concert Moonshot at Macau. Jinsoul : That was my third tour, and the first one that was this long. I wanted to tell the members how proud I am, and I’m also really proud of myself. Also I learned for the first time that we have so many fans globally, so it was such a happy time. I want to go on even more tours based on this one. You showed a variety of stages not only from your first full album , but also solo performances. Which stage did you feel the most fondness for? Choerry : It’s not a performance, but I felt most emotional about the song “Butterfly Effect”. It reflects our desire to “fly into this world”. So I always feel choked up whenever I do this one. Heejin : It wasn’t from the world tour, but I think our showcase performance felt the most emotional for me. We showed off performances like “Virtual Angel” and “Butterfly Effect”, and I got really nervous because it was the first reveal of ARTMS. Somehow it was really nerve wracking, from my desire to do well as ARTMS. (Laughs) Most memorable moment while performing? Heejin : We performed in Brazil for the first time during the world tour, and when we performed “Sparkle”, the fans all popped sparkling powder for an event. I’ve never been so happy on stage as that, I think. It was so memorable as to count it on one hand. Choerry : The fans made a video for an event and showed it to us during a show, and it was so moving. The way each person gave us authentic encouragement and kind words really touched me. Is there a change you’ve noticed about yourself while onstage? Kim Lip : I’m usually really shy. So I used to be bad about hyping up the crowd like, “Let’s go!” while performing. (Laughs) But this time around, I found myself doing that just naturally. I felt like, “Did I get a bit braver?” and I think I’ve grown a bit. (Laughs) Haseul : Everyone has definitely gotten much better at crisis management. When you’re traveling to many cities, something is always bound to happen, and I think by now we’re good at reacting to any situation. Recently, my song started playing when Heejin’s song was supposed to play. But Heejin didn’t panic and just sang my song so boldly and kept the show going. So the fans were also able to laugh it off and move on. (Laughs) As for Haseul, you’ve recently released a single, . Haseul : To show off a different side than ARTMS, I released somewhat more subdued songs as digital singles, first with “Plastic Candy” and then “Fragile Eyes”. I’m glad that the fans seem to really like it. Sing us a verse of it. (Check it out on YouTube channel.) The latest title track “Virtual Angel” contained the message that regardless of whether others think the love towards idols is real or not, perhaps it is real for the fan. What is the love that each of you feel? Haseul : Wanting nothing. I think love is just viewing someone for who they are and being happy just with their presence. Fans also feel this way. Feeling happy and feeling love just from seeing us!! I think that’s love. All : Yeah, that’s love. (Laughs) You looked like angels in the MV. If a real angel came to you and said they’d grant you a wish? Choerry : I want to ask for the ability to teleport. The ability to move wherever I want! Kim Lip : I want to ask for a healing ability that lets my loved ones live without even a minor illness for as long as they live. Making them never get sick and live their whole life with strong stamina. (Laughs) Any tips on how to get immersed into the lore of ARTMS, continuing from that of LOONA? Haseul : We’re such a great place for lore. When we first debuted, this whole thing was so uncommon that we’d get questions like “What is lore?” But I think we’ve been doing a good job helping to pioneer it. Even just watching the “Birth” or “Virtual Angel” music videos, you’ll probably have to study for a month. That’s where the fun is, and that’s what our symbolism is. Also you really need to ponder over every line of our lyrics. You have to translate even the English lyrics. Now I’ve given you all the sweet tips. (Laughs) How did you feel when you first heard the group’s name? Kim Lip : I liked it. Of course, at first it was a little difficult and unfamiliar, but now I like how it’s a name that feels like only we could have. And we came up with the nickname ‘Arr’ for those who have a hard time memorizing, so please say it cutely. (Laughs) Although there is no official group leader, who’s the member you can rely on the most? Heejin : Everyone is reliable because we do lean on each other a lot, but to pick just one, I think it’s Haseul unnie. She speaks so well. I have a hard time organizing what I want to say and sometimes I can’t really put things into sentences, but unnie is really good at neatly organizing what I want to express. What a reliable unnie. She’s like a grown-up. (Laughs) Haseul : Thanks. (Laughs) A moment when you felt like you had gotten closer to the members? Haseul : I felt this even more strongly while touring, but there were a lot of moments that I could only get through thanks to the members. Even when I’m sick or hurt, the members take such good care of me. One time Heejin and I were crying and just a mess, because we’re really scared of pigeons. Jinsoul came up to me quietly and said, “It’s okay. All the pigeons left, they’re gone. So follow me,” and she gave me a hug. My tears just started flowing. I realized, “I’m relying on them even for the small things.” I really think I can do anything diligently because I’m with the members. When you disagree on something, how do you resolve the situation? Haseul : Even when our opinions are split, we just talk it all out right there when all five of us are together. We always listen to everyone’s thoughts and find the compromise. (Laughs) Something you’ve really gotten into lately? Kim Lip : I’m not all that into it, but a little bit. (Laughs) Recently I was gifted a Tamagotchi and it’s so much fun to play for the first time since elementary school. Reminds me of the old days and I felt good about it. Jinsoul : When I’m into one food I eat it for a really long time, and right now it’s waffles. I looked on my delivery app and I’ve been eating them for a month. (Laughs) When’s the last time you had waffles? Jinsoul : Yesterday! (Laughs) What is “youth” for ARTMS, who are in the youth of their early-mid 20s? Choerry : I think youth is when you have a ton of experiences. I met the unnies and got to have diverse experiences and I feel like I’ve grown a lot, so I think right now is my youth. While living intensely, there are moments in which you feel shaken. How do you get over that? Haseul : I just walk for 2~3 hours, aimlessly. When I’m walking in the wee hours of the morning when no one is out, I turn up my music loudly and that feels a little freeing. Also hiking! It’s really nice. (Laughs) What’s a side of yourself that you don’t want to lose? Heejin : These moments right now. My memory is not great so I forget things quickly. So I’ve been taking lots of photos recently. So many that I’m thinking, ‘Why am I taking all these?’ Whenever I look back, I miss the old moments so much. So that’s why I started documenting each moment. (Laughs) Kim Lip : For me, it’s youth? I visited my family recently and I hadn’t seen Mom and Dad in a while, and they had gotten older. I thought at that moment that I hoped the youth of the people I love wouldn’t fade away. For myself too, I’m sure this very moment is when I’m most beautiful. What is ARTMS’ happiness index now? All : 100%! We’re happy. (Laughing) Heejin : No reason for it. I’m just glad that she’s Haseul unnie, that she’s Jinsoul unnie, that she’s Choerry, that she’s Lip unnie. I’m just thankful that these people are my people. I’m so happy that I can be ARTMS with the five of us, and that’s why it’s 100% ‘ARTMS is __’ - how would you like this blank to be filled? Haseul : A roly-poly toy. Because we never stay down. The thing we heard most often from fans while touring was “You guys never give up and always move towards your dreams”, and that’s really true. We never give up. How will you start this upcoming new year? Kim Lip : I’m going to start this upcoming new year by reading our ARTMS’ pictorial! Jinsoul : We’re preparing a lot of different things. We’re going to be even busier and working harder in the new year, so look forward to it. Lastly, a word for the readers of Magazine? Choerry : We shot this pictorial as the full group of ARTMS, how did you like it? We’re cool, huh? (Laughs) Please give lots of love to and lots of attention to ARTMS too! Happy New Year. (Laughs)

[T/N: This is the same letter posted to Yves' Fromm, with the song and lyrics added in.] [Link to original blog post] In just a few hours it will be 2025.ᐟ The constantly increasing number feels awkward, so once again, for the first few weeks I might be striking two lines across 2024 and fixing it to a 5 instead. Despite the January when I vowed to live well, I have no idea how I spent the other eleven months. The leaves that grew each day resembled the green of my fervent love, and sometimes it would pale yellow, and at other times it would flash an agitated red just like a throbbing headache. I still can't get used to the chilly weather, so I step on the crushed leaves as I mutter words to myself. I know well how you feel, lonely even when there are people to hear. A lonely person said that we are lonely because we are born lonely. I nodded, even as I disagreed on the inside. While saying if there are many who are lonely, can't we just embrace each other. It's okay even if you don't embrace me. I'd still like to embrace you eagerly. I will remember your pupils, swaying in the darkness. I will remember your tears, bursting out like a cough. When you close your eyes and open them again, it will be a new day. Let us change, and let us never change. Let us move, yet let us remain. Let us hold our hands like so. Let us step forward. Let us welcome a strange dawn, whose yesterday is last year and today is a new year. +Rec for the first song of the new year https://youtu.be/a-G1D_ZtqTs?feature=shared I vow, that I will sing Always dreaming like a child I will fall down a lot I will walk further I promise, that I'll never let go Always green like the trees We'll grow together I'll hold you It's all precious, I'll remember Just like the clear rainbow That appears after rain Everything will be okay I'll believe in you

u/FootfaceOne: I always laughed when you used to tease GoWon about her singing. What do your friends tease you about? Because of my sensitive personality, I tend to clutch my head when I get stressed and they copy those kinds of actions a lot u/girlinthemud: I wanted to ask you, what is your favorite song to perform on tour? Hi~~~~ The song I enjoyed performing the most on tour was Hashtag ! The chair dance was fun, thank you for supporting me ! u/Camiorbit: Hi Yves! You’re very talented with words and at expressing yourself, it really moves me deeply. Have you ever thought about writing a poetry book? I’m sure you’d do an amazing job! If I get the chance someday, I'd like to release a photobook crafted out of my writings and photography..... Just a wish u/mellyia: i was wondering if you have any advice you would give to younger orbits? like, what would you tell your teenage self? You may have many difficult moments from both internal and external influences, but all of it will pass in the end, so I hope you won't fall too much into the darkness and keep walking the path that you are on.ᐟ I am always your fan, don't forget.ᐟ u/cptzan: hi Yves, fashion seems to be a really important part of your life! what are some of your favourite clothing brands? I like the Yohji Yamamoto collection, for its details.ᐟ u/airotciv97: What made you more nervous: debuting again, or making your first comeback as a solo artist? And if you could pick any artist in the world, who would you have a collab with in your next album? The thing that's always at the center of my thoughts and worries is me. A pessimistic self-esteem.ᐟ I'm always working to overcome that. Lately I've been listening to Olivia Rodrigo again, but a collab? That's just a dream ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [laughter] u/vvhatever-forever: 1. If you have any down time, do you have any hobbies or do any crafting? 2. out of your solo work or work with LOONA, do you have a favorite remix someone has done? 1. I tend to not try to overcome anything, and be in bed and sleep all day ... But lately, watching Harry Potter?.. 2. I saw that someone made a NewJeans version of LOOP and I was surprised by how it fit them better than me .. u/Firm-Taro5581: Hi Yves, I don't know if you're going to be able to read my question, but you recently shared a little about your journey to Buddhism, I know faith is personal, but what Buddhist philosophy or saying do you find yourself most comforting or brings you peace and ease of mind? Mm, "If I do wrong, it will all come back to me as karma." "Even if someone dislikes me, I should embrace them." These are the sayings I like ! u/Florastel: Since you put a lot of effort and thought into your music and MVs and the meaning behind every little detail, I wanted to ask if you ever go online to listen to the interpretations and thoughts of the fans about certain songs / music videos, and if so, what was your favorite theory or thought this far? I do actually watch a lot of MV reactions ㅋㅋㅋㅋ and all the comments u/maliciousmuf: Yves, I know you said Caroline Polachek is a big inspiration for your music. What are your favorite songs by her? Welcome to my island and bunny is a rider..? Because im a bunny u/JA19733: 1. I know that you have learned and love to compose music and I was wondering were there any songs you wished you could redo because you think it would improve the song? 2. Where do you get inspirations for your song compositions? Are there any artists that you feel inspired by or you just let the world inspire you? 3. How did you get into composing music? I know that you started to learn composing near the “Flip That” era (I’m so sorry for bringing bad memories of BBC 😭) but who or what pushed you into composing music? 4. will there be official Yves plushies? A lot of Kpop groups released their own plushies and I was wondering if you would do it too? 1 Not so much redo anything, but I would like to create a totally new song. I'm looking forward to it too.ᐟ 2 I think it's good to be observational while listening to music from diverse genres. For example doing one listen while focusing on the vocals, and another listen focusing on the melody.ᐟ 3 I got into composition because, was it after Why Not..? I don't recall for sure, but I was upset about a hiatus that was getting long. I didn't really get full-fledged support, but it was voluntary, and I started with self-study at first, then MIDI lessons, and then I pivoted into being a topline maker. 4 There is an apple doll key ring.ᐟ Maybe that's different.. u/sellstrom3735: Yves! What's your favorite beer? Also what kind of YouTube videos do you watch when you unwind? Terra.. is a korea beer. I usally watch history of korea and some scary videos..? u/sarushiu: If you had the chance to leave a secret message for someone to find 100 years from now, what would you say and why? It's too late but I really did love you and even now when you're not by my side I still love you .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ The reason being because I love you .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ u/mariposamango: have you ever been inspired by any other korean soloists (like SUMIN, Hoody, Heize, Yerin Baek, SOLE, The Deep, etc.) that also have very unique musical and artistic styles like you? if so, would you like to collaborate with any of them? i think a SUMIN collab would compliment your voice and style perfectly! <3 Baek Yerin sunbaenim....? I love her u/Linneduck: I have two questions: What was your life growing up in Busan like? How do you find stability and peace in your daily life? I'll never forget my memories from Busan my homesweethome.ᐟ As for daily life, at times I avoid it but I'll vent with a friend, or really try to extinguish my emotions that day. By way of things like eating something tasty or watching a movie.ᐟ I'd also like to say thank you so much for waiting for me through difficult times. I love you.ᐟ u/kianayayaya: Hi Yves! Who gives the best hugs in Loona? Orbits love you 🩷🩷 Gowonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn u/ztodapositive: Hi Yves! Do you believe in Aliens? Hyunjin doesn’t count. I do believe. It doesn't make sense that it's just us in this vast universe. u/InflatableBoyWonder: I’ve been loving your style and you come across so effortlessly cool. The writings you have shared also show how thoughtful, reflective and insightful you are! You pick a lot of really good songs for your instagram posts and have shared interesting movies too. So, I was wondering how you discover new movies and music? And also, I was curious if you find yourself writing about different works after you watch or hear them and how you do if so. When I come across good writing or scenery or thought, in order to not forget and to remember, I note it down or take a photo or collect it in some other way. I think inspiration is everywhere in our daily lives, rather than being in any special place. So let's have a beautiful outlook on the world.ᐟ u/yves_favorite_gf: Hi Yves :) What’s something you’ve been wanting to do these last days? Hey girlfriend. I want to binge through the remaining Harry Potter movies that I didn't get through over Christmas. u/oddiactive: hi yves ily friend 🫶🫶i’ve been loving your releases so much (diorama especially has been on repeat since you dropped its one of my fave songs of the year)!! i was wondering what parts of the artistic direction for your solo releases (concept merch and logo/album design) have been mostly your decision and what parts were influenced by other people at the company/that you’re working with? everything from artistic direction to sound has been so unique and fun but still cohesive im always impressed! i also wanted to know what led you into the sound you’ve created for your 2 projects so far, i love them both and wanted to know if there were any artists that inspired your interest in the type of music you’re creating or what other influences may have been on the tracks you’ve produced so far? i hope you’re enjoying the tour and that ill get to see you at some point! I always ponder about how I can distinguish myself as a soloist, and sometimes that makes me feel helpless. But I think that kind of process is essential, so I don't avoid it. In order to further develop the unique character that I possess, I've been having careful conversations with the company for each album, and I think I get those positive musical influences from Millic CEO-nim or IOAH, so I am grateful for that! u/avocadoo29: Heyy Yves, how are you?? I'd like to know, what are some things that inspire you when it comes to doing music?? Thanks and love you <333 I think u and &du u/parucafe: You said you would like to do acting. Would you like to try acting in a comedy movie, or a sad movie ? I want to try a sad movie… plz call me .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ u/Ok_Woodpecker_221: What is your most favorite music video from the ones you've done? Any scene that you remember the most? Love you ❤️ I cant choose the best. Both are my favorite. I think the last scene of viola that standing alone is most interesting point. u/ghost_gf: I want to ask what's your skincare routine like? 🩷 I hope you're taking care of yourself while on tour Lately and while on tour I haven't been taking care of myself that well because I've been sleeping... But Mediheal Tea Tree Ampoule Mask, this one's good .. My alltime fav pack u/Solitariire: if you had the opportunity to make a music video for one your b-sides, which one would you choose?

Too many… but i recommend amy’s vinyls.ᐟ Love u spain.ᐟ Ill upload new pictures in aswakii Plz wait a moment u/ExiledSaviorX: 안녕 라이벌야! My question is how did you build up the courage to decide to go solo? It must've been hard to take that leap of uncertainty. Were you just so passionate that you weren't scared of failing? Or you were scared but just pushed through it with the help of engdus, family, and friends? I think that over the course of time my inner self had been saying, "let's try going solo". I was afraid but I was certain of myself.ᐟ Next time I will win at rock paper scissors u/KingTre1023: Hi Yves, what can Engdus and Orbits expect for next year? 🤗 Amazing New album u/Rustybeefus: I'm curious to hear about your future activities! Mainly the US tour and your appearance at KoreaFest! I hear you're judging some of the performances. I think that's such a cool opportunity, what are you most excited to see from the contestants? If there's one message to pull from your journey as a soloist that you could share, what do you want people to know? I think I'll receive inspiration and passion from watching their performances and they're going to motivate me, so I'm looking forward to that and I'm grateful.ᐟ My journey is Harry Potter. Because you want to know what happens next. u/Ok-Once789: Is loona OT12 gonna happen?

[Link to original post] Welcome It's your.. It's not your first time at Power Blog Girl, right? I am here at the Nakwon Music Market right now I've visited before to buy guitars, and every time I almost died because of the pigeons here. But today I will wade through the pigeons to go. Why? Because I will be reviewing guitars today, which I love~~~~ With 2025 dawning on us I feel like many neighbor-nims are looking to make a new goal or hobby! So since I love guitars! For anyone who's thinking about getting into guitar I am out here to recommend a guitar that would be good for beginners~~~~ Before that! I have another guest today who will be helping me on my reviews. It is!!! Jaehyung-nim who appeared on a dating program !!!! I heard a rumor that Jaehyung-nim is a good guitar player so we invited him today~ His job is accountant.. But he sings well.. Plays guitar well.. The world is so unfair, isn't it? Just don't start working out, Mr. Jaehyung Anyway!!!! Shall we go onto the guitar reviews by the guitar lovers Heejin & Jaehyung?! Let's go 1. Kyungeun Acoustic The first space we'll review is Kyungeun Acoustic! This place is apparently already a holy spot for celebrities and rock stars and other famous people In particular, many reviews say that the owner is very good about recommendations including price and design to everyone from guitar beginners to skilled players This part is just TMI but It was so hard to walk to Kyungeun Acoustic... Too many pigeons in Jongro. ㅡSighㅜㅜ But my sense of professional responsibility to do a review!!!!! With that I dashed over. Hurry up and compliment me. Anyway, avoiding the pigeons, let's go into the shop WOW As expected of a holy place among guitarists A huge number of guitars awaited me. Neejin's eyes are spinning~~~!!!!!!!!!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!!!!!!!! Ahh this is when I need to buy with PD-nim's money;;; I .. had so many guitars I wanted.. So pretty.... But expensive....... Knowing that in advance! We immediately asked the owner-nim to recommend three types of guitars for the guitar beginner, intermediate(?) player, and final boss ! The first guitar was a beginner one, called F100 from Hex! The price is 199,000 won! Very reasonable right? This is a guitar I'd like to recommend to anyone who wants to take up guitar but the price is a hurdle! I played it myself, and relative to price the sound was excellent and it was light and nice! However! Given the low price, the guitar body is made of plywood and not real wood so it definitely sounds different than an expensive product, but it's still fit for starters, yes? The second, intermediate(?) guitar! Taylor's 314ce guitar A very famous brand already among guitarists, yes? Honestly the price isn't that great.. 3,840,000 won.. But! You all know.. Music relies.. On equipment..ㅋ When you play guitar, you definitely feel the sound difference. Or the sense of grip.. Or most importantly, how cool it looks... There comes a point when you start wanting better from the instrument. (I almost pulled out my own card after playing it and hearing how good the sound was;) Honestly if you are willing to buy a guitar and play it forever And you love guitars so much, I really want to recommend this one. I'm working so hard on PowerBlogGirl reviews so please buy me one PD-nim Next up The long-awaited last final boss... Martin & Co's 1989 Nostalgia D-41 Custom Shop Sheesh what a long name. As for the price~~~ ? Doubting my eyes Owner-nim... That's not an extra 0 there right..?? It costs a whopping 18,800,000 won .... Shudder Isn't this basically the price of carrying around a car..? I'm holding a car in my arms right now I was so scared that I couldn't even hold it..;; Owner-nim asked me to play the guitar But I literally refused him. I honestly did not play this one But Mr. Jaehyung is comfortably holding the 18,800,000 won.. Jaehyung-nim played this guitar instead of me. Why did Mr. Jaehyung play this guitar?! You can find out on the PowerBlogGirl YouTube. Hehe I just wiped my tears on the price tag and came out. When my annual income reaches like 1 billion won, then I'll come pay for you in lump sum, guitar. In general, is this guitar worth the 18,800,000 won?! If you're asking me that, my guitar skills are not at godly levels yet so I was not able to feel all the fine detail. 2. Kyungeun Sangsa The second place we visited had lots of electric guitars!! Drools for me who loves the elec Actually when I visited Nakwon to buy my own electric guitar, I visited this place too. (Even though I bought from another shop) There is a very attractive spot hidden here, apparently It is This space where you can play the guitars as much as you want before purchasing It's soundproofed and spacious!!! I'm telling you when I came before I didn't know it was that kind of space I just thought it was a display for guitars I didn't know the soundproofing was this good~ Neejinie whose eyes are going round at being surrounded by pretty guitars My eyes are just spinning~~~ Do you see this, everyone This guitar was apparently chosen as the most beautiful electric guitar in the world There are just two of these in Korea and one of them is right here..!!! Since it is the visual center It was also holding down the center in this shop. How much does our visual center cost, shall we look?^^ No.. The price is not beautiful..... But I do recognize the visuals. The screen does not capture its beauty Hey. You should also join the Wonyoung-Karina-Yuna-Sullyoon line; Well after looking at the guitars, isn't it about time to be hungry? Even Mount Kumgang can wait until after food, so with Jaehyung-nim We will be visiting a restaurant called Sounds Forest . Apparently it exudes! atmosphere at this restaurant How could we resist going???!! Walking along the beautiful Seosulla-gil Ta-da! We arrive at Sounds Forest! The restaurant is on the second floor! There was a floor mirror on the stairs up so a pic while doing a looks check ㅎ If I have a mirror, any place is a photo spot to me~~~ Such good vibes at the restaurant rightㅜ.ㅜ Neejin loves cozy things like this At any moment, Japanese city pop might start playing and go Stttay witmeee!!~!~~~~~!~~~~~~~! that's how it feels A very packed menu too. We only picked the items labeled as best Aglio e olio oil pasta The oil in the aglio e olio and the shrimp were very harmonious! The shrimp were really plump so they felt good to chew and I liked the mild seasoning! I want it again.. Cheese pulled pork plate This is a flavor that a Korean person cannot possibly dislike You all like jangjorim, right Whenever I eat pulled pork, I feel like it's American jangjorim But this pulled pork isn't just that But there's cheese on top!!!! Also comes with chipotle sauce and it's quite interesting to dip in that Tomato basil tapas Actually the first dish we ate was these tapas I personally don't like basil you know...? Basil kinda tastes like... Airplane... Wonder if you know what I mean... Anyway! I don't like basil much but despite that I really enjoyed the tomato basil tapas from Sounds Forest! The aroma of garlic on top and the subtle sweetness of the sun-dried tomato plus the basil pesto, the triple combination here really blended well in the mouth That was my guitar review with Jaehyung-nim to help neighbor-nims enjoy a new hobby in 2025. Did you enjoy? Since I like guitar too, I hope many people will be able to experience the charms of guitar! Especially since it's an easier instrument to get into than others I hope this review today could help you out! That's all for today's review-review~~~~~ (Excited after reviewing guitars) Come watch on YouTube too >ㅁ<

What Yves Did with “I Did” [EN:Boxing] “I’m definitely listening to music, but it feels like I’m seeing something. I would really like to emulate that ability, and I often listen to it because I would also like to create music that is immersive like that.” During the round interview for her second mini-album “I Did”, Yves picked Caroline Polacheck when asked who her role model was. Yves, who says she makes visualizations called “mood boards” to feel a general vibe when coming up with musical ideas, expressed interest in music that doesn’t just stop at “something you hear”, but goes on to being “something you can see”. “I Did”, coming 6 months after her first solo work “LOOP”, is an album that wholly reflects the pursuit of that aesthetic. CEO of agency PAIX PER MIL and producer for this album, MILLIC, also described having made an album “not with music, but with scenes”. CBS No Cut News looked a little closer at Yves’ second mini-album, “I Did”. In the first episode of the interview, which was done through writing on the 3rd, we will hear about the title song “Viola” and about the album as a whole. Producer Millic and artist Yves answered in the “Music” article. Q&A format below. 1. I’d like to hear how you came to name your second mini-album “I Did”, and what the production team and Yves “did” in this album. Producer Millic: With environments and systems changing a lot for Yves as she went solo, having come from group activities, I did see Yves struggling with that personally. So that’s why the name of this album was “I Did”, in hopes that she takes in a lot of positive vibes and confidence through this album. And though more so than “having done something”, it’s still the process of doing something even now. Through “I Did”, I think Yves’ colors are settling in more, and that she has been doing a good job in showing that her character or spectrum has widened, so I think that could be seen as what “she did” through this album. Yves: What I did in this album was... The album “I Did” is an extension of “LOOP”, and before work on the album started, I was quite worried about doing a good job of concluding that. Despite that, I think I was able to gather the courage to do well on album activities. 2. In the album’s press kit, it says that you intended to make “in this album, not songs, but scenes” - what did you mean by that? And I’m also curious why you chose this direction. Producer Millic: What we call “scenes” can be an image you feel visually, or it could be an environment, or something that’s not simply a “song” but the situation, environment, attitude, and things you can see visually; all of that was in focus as we made this album in that direction. Although a song that’s simply "good" could be worked on at any time, in order to be sure of the message conveyed based on an artist and character, I think it was because we thought that the delivery of this could become clear if we approached it while imagining things in such a visual way. 3. The title track is “Viola”. Yves had “Hashtag” in mind as the title, but I’m curious about the strengths of both songs and why “Viola” became the title track. Producer Millic: The strength of “Hashtag” is that the song is good? The context is similar to the last question, but the meaning behind “Viola” itself as a song and its visuals fit the album’s purpose very well, so I think it was certain to be the title track in every aspect. If you only look at the song, since people have different tastes, one might feel that way, but from the producer’s viewpoint, “Viola” had the message and visuals that were in line with the album’s, so it became the title track. 4. I’m curious about how the other B-sides, “Gone Girl”, “Tik Tok”, and “DIM”, were added to this album, and how the songs were positioned. Also about the reason for all the B-side lyrics being predominantly in English. Producer Millic: The reason why the B-sides are mostly in English is because of the message this album has, so I wanted more fans abroad to grasp it much more easily. So we mostly used the universal language of English. I thought about the positioning of the songs from multiple perspectives, from a strategic one, or what feelings we wanted to convey when actually listening to the album, and so on… After combining many viewpoints and reasons, we ended up with the current arrangement. 5. In a past interview, Yves said she enjoyed and looked forward to a third-party view and analysis of her. Where does the company think the singer Yves’ strengths and potential lie? Producer Millic: Yves’ strength is that her tastes are solid? “Character” is a very important aspect of being a solo artist, and I think having firm tastes is a strength in that, as you deepen that, you can more clearly convey whatever you want to deliver. And I think a strength and potential of hers is that she is not only good at singing, but also good at performances at the same time. 6. While working on the songs, which went the most smoothly, and which was most demanding? And if you have an anecdote from recording? Yves: “DIM” was the most particular to work on. CEO Millic is like a ghost when it comes to bending vocals, he’s spookily good at calling out when notes are bent with the wrong levels of power. So before, when I sang a part wrong, I used to say, “Oh, I’ll go again!” But now, we don’t even need to speak to know when it’s time to redo a part, and he’ll play the tracks in succession for me, which I find scary but also fun about him. But for “DIM”, I found it hard to sing in an effortless way, and I think the smoothest song was, unexpectedly, “Viola”. I think my tone was reflected well in the hyperpop genre and the producers said it was really good, so we made quick progress through it. Producer Millic: For songs like “DIM”, it’s actually not so much the performance of the song, the real importance comes in the catchiness. I think one difficulty of working on this album was the big lack of time we had, and recording while things still felt unfamiliar. In the case of the title track “Viola”, we changed the arrangement a lot to keep improving it until the very end, but I think that as well was an issue of not having enough time. So although the recording went smoothly from the producer’s perspective, honestly, I don’t think there were any songs that went smoothly. (Laugh) 7. Could you tell us where the “sense of space and visuals created by the meeting of sounds” that producer Millic mentioned shows itself the most? Yves: In “DIM” there’s a part of the track where my voice drops out and just the instrumental plays. Despite the key part of vocals being missing, they produced the track to leave a lingering impression of those vocals from before. That song was written in a very spatial way, so if you listen to it while being still, it kind of feels like you’re in a different world. So I think that part feels like what the CEO said. Producer Millic: I wrote “DIM” while imagining Yves on her own. Rather than a song made to show her performance, it’s a track where I tried to convey a visual aspect that could be imagined through the category of sound. 8. Producer Millic: How satisfied are you with the album “I Did”? Yves: I’ve been gifted all these amazing songs, so I give the songs a 10 out of 5. I want to do well in the future as well and there are many things I’d like to change looking back so, always having regrets, I give myself a 2 out of 5. Producer Millic: I also have parts where I think “I could’ve done better too”, so as a whole it’s a 7 out of 10. “Yves’ “Viola” MV, minimalism that isn’t boring” [EN:Boxing] CBS No Cut News looked a little closer at Yves’ second mini-album, “I Did”. The second episode of the interview, which was done through writing on the 3rd, deals with the music video, choreography, and visuals of the title song “Viola”. Producer Millic, artist Yves, the director, performance director ISTMIA, visual director Nagi, and designer Philip answered. Q&A format continues. 1. “It’s sensuous,” “it feels like I’m at the national museum of modern art” - the “Viola” MV has received much praise. Director Lee Ho-soo, who worked on Taeyeon’s “To. X” as well as Mark’s “200” worked on this, and I’m curious how you came to work together. Director: While looking for the director of the music video, as soon as I found Director Lee Ho-soo, I felt that he was good, according to my own taste. And I felt intuitively that there would be a good synergy when the things that the director wanted to show, besides his work, are combined with the artist Yves' popularity. So I proposed the music video for this album and he accepted it willingly, so we were able to proceed with it. 2. What did you want the “Viola” MV to embody the most? Looking back at the final version, how satisfied are you with it? Director: The thing I wanted to embody the most was “minimalism” and the key point was for the artistic items within it to feel fresh. I thought that I would like it to feel simple to the viewer but not in a boring way. Actually due to internal coordination, there were more cuts and flows that I wanted to add but wasn’t able to, so there was room for improvement as well personally. 3. There were many interesting parts, such as various circular objets, angry-looking portraits with slightly changing expressions, Yves’ upper and lower halves appearing separated but united as one body, and text growing or moving to fit the lyrics. Is there anything in the music video you want others to view carefully? It would also be nice if you picked a few scenes that you like. Yves: I think I’ve already told you all the scenes I like? (Laughs) I felt that the director’s abilities were impressive in how he constantly replaced the shape of a circle with various objets in a way that doesn’t feel boring for those 3 minutes, despite it being just one shape. In fact, even though there weren’t many sets for the shoot, there was a scene at the end where the truck pulled forward and I was left alone, and that kind of effect also utilizes the set, doesn’t it? It was very interesting to even use empty space as a set, and it’s my favourite part because it feels like it leaves a lingering impression. Director: I also think that the office art that used the truck was the most important scene. After that, I also liked the on-set performance scenes made up of LEDs. 4. The music video starts with Yves dancing, and there are scenes where you dance alone or where her facial expressions are highlighted, so her role in performing and acting must have been especially important. I’m curious what sort of things you discussed while making this. Yves: As the lyrics of “Viola” aren’t all happy, and they’re sad in a way, I tried not to have overly bright expressions. The director also instructed me to show slightly less emotion so I think there were more scenes of myself seeming a bit less energetic than how I usually am but I think of that as a charm. Director: I remember how I repeatedly said to Yves at the set of the MV, “This work will remain with you forever so don’t worry about anyone, and be confident while doing this.” 5. What did you focus on when composing the choreography and performance for “Viola”? Performance director ItsMia: I think the part that I paid most attention to in the choreography and performance of “Viola” was the visualisation of “space”, which keeps appearing in the lyrics. I think I mainly used the hand gestures to express it in the chorus parts, and the overall feeling of the performance was bouncy to fit the hyperpop genre, but contrastingly chic at the same time, so I worked hard to get both feelings without giving up on either! Personally I think Yves understood the performance and expressed it very well, so I’m content! 6. Through music shows, you displayed various styles such as open-side outfit + ponytail with bangs down, hair with a band + outfit with vivid horizontal stripes, sporty dolphin pants and cropped shirt + necktie. For each of these, please explain what you were going for. Yves: Since this album is about the emotions I faced in order to find peace, multiple egos became the focus, so I worked with the director. I wore many outfits that had character to show unique and diverse concepts, and it was well received so I liked that too. Personally, my favourite outfit is one from my last music show; this outfit actually came to be because I told the director a lot about what I wanted to pursue. I was sure that the fans would like it, so I looked forward to it a lot. Visual director Nagi: As for the overall concept mood, I think I was definitely trying to bring a minimalism similar to that found in the music video. For the dolphin pants + shirt + tie, I wanted to pursue an unconventional style by combining office vibes and sportiness. But the key here is that I thought that the unconventional vibes would be amplified when the artist known as Yves wore this outfit, and I made that my goal. For the striped outfit, it was a candidate at first but after fittings, it suited her so well that it became a main outfit. I actually thought that the elements that seem like a late-90s to early-00s aerobics look was more fresh when worn today and in more of the right direction and concept and that it fit Yves well. The fans also liked it so I was glad. The ponytail and suit outfit seems like an office look, but it’s actually very avant-garde. When looked at in detail, it’s reminiscent of Jean Paul Gaultier’s collection from the 1900s. It was a challenge to attempt this look, but I think it looked good on Yves. 7. With an interest in the visual aspects, Yves has shown that she would like a lot of mutual discussion, even having mentioned explaining with PowerPoints she makes herself. How involved was Yves, and how was she as a “collaborative partner”? Visual director Nagi: Whenever an artist really explains visual aspects that fit their album’s concept, I think I am able to approach it from an unforeseen perspective, so I think she’s a collaborative partner who instils in me a fresh view on things. 8. In the album there are fun inclusions such as crossword puzzles and lottery tickets. Whose idea was that? Designer Phillip: I thought there was much left to show the public and the fans more about the artist known as Yves, as well as showing them more about the concept of the album. So as I was thinking about how to show these, I thought of crossword puzzles, so I went through with that by throwing the fans a quiz. In addition, the previous album [LOOP] also included a lottery scratch ticket, and by including a lottery ticket this time as well, I think I wanted to make an album that fans could take part in with more interest.

It's the one you see next to this one... The Christmas atmosphere blasting was so pretty that I had to take a pic. Taking no pics of the actual store but only of the one next door Power Blog Girl, get it together.. ㅜ What are you doing.. (If you have pics from the store please attach them,. PD-nim help me.. ㅠ) This place is has true killer atmosphere.. It probably creates love where there was none.. That kind of cozy-vibes restaurant Also according to rumors this place also has a handsome owner or something~ ㅎ Men coming here for a date, be careful Might end up being your first and last dinner at Alley Nine ㅋ Salad came out as appetizer! Even though. I took bites before the pic. That's how good it was Harmonious flavor between the balsamic and the cheese on top! An appetizer salad totally optimized to whet your appetite! We ordered the most! popular menu items here 1. White mushroom tapas 2. Sliced brisket bean paste stew cream pasta 3. Sous vide Wagyu flank steak These are the three we ordered and, [Deeply emotional] Ahh.. The mushroom tapas are insane.. I seriously recommend it so so so much. The engaging mushrooms and cream cheese embrace you and that pepperoni-like meat on top Sliiiides right in, adds a daaash of umami Agh seriously try this. No regrets. As for the sliced brisket bean paste cream pasta the smooth cream and salty bean paste flavors envelop your tongue.. The fusion of Korean and Western cuisine was so harmonious! And don't have to tell me twice about the sous vide Wagyu flank steak .. The meat was so soft.. and the sauces had such kick It was like an upgrade of the Wagyu steak's flavor. This is a true top restaurant. Really. Really.!!! I have 23425221243% intent to go back. Oh, and the flavors at this place were generally not aggressive! So I liked it even better! But everyone, you know how there's a certain thing ㅎ That's kinda good for pairing with Western food ㅎ Wine!!! Wine!!!!!!!!!!! Ack!!!!!!!!!! Ah ㅎ I wanted to moderate myself because of that last Power Blog Girl review But I can't resist this The owner-nim recommended a wine called Billy's Shadow , and it paired so well with the three dishes above.

Then I'm off for now Hey Dongpyo, why don't you come back for just one more episode. Please watch Neejinie and Dongpyo in motion on YouTube too.

BY. Shay Yoo Yves released her second EP [I Did]. Appearing exactly like the title track, like a viola that looks fragile but blooms straight up. 1. [RSK] We did an interview for your debut EP [LOOP] in May after your solo debut, and a self-Q&A interview for your single in September, but it’s the first time we’ve done a pictorial and video interview together. How was your time with us today? It was meaningful because it was my first solo pictorial shoot for Rolling Stone Korea. The atmosphere on the set was so good. Because of that, I had so much fun and was grateful while shooting! 2. [RSK] How does Yves’ day go? And I’m also wondering what your favourite time of the day is. If you try your best to do what you’re given with no regrets, in no time, it’ll be time to get off work. I think I’m happiest when I get off work. 3. [RSK] What about when you’re not promoting? I’m also curious about what keywords are in place, not in the singer Yves’, but in human Ha Sooyoung’s day. Bed, oversleeping, short-form [videos], horror radio, “Midnight Horror Story”, “Getcha Ghost”, “Saturday Mystery Theatre”, and “Unanswered Questions” 4. [RSK] Shall we talk about your new EP as well? Your second EP [I Did] was released six months after [LOOP], right? What kind of process did it go through? I wanted to end this year successfully by releasing another album within it, not just announcing the beginning of my solo career with [LOOP]. I talked to the company in many ways, and as a result, I released an album called [I Did] that allows me to more firmly promote my colour while attempting new genres. 5. [RSK] The new album contains the emotions you faced while searching for peace. What did you face on your journey of finding peace? As Schopenhauer once said, you only know happiness is happiness, when there is unhappiness. I now understand that in order to be truly peaceful, there must also be anxiety. When an uneasy situation comes, I don’t want to just avoid it. I feel like I can affirm and face all of me, even my unstable feelings. 6. [RSK] What does the title track mean? I’m curious about why a song in which you sing, “I need my space,” is titled “ Viola ” and what it means. The title of the song, , means a viola flower. When the song was completed and its title was not decided yet, CEO Millic was thinking about the title and said that the viola suddenly came to mind as an image reminiscent of me. A viola means “think of me” in the language of flowers. I named it as such because it seemed to go well with Yves’ heart for her fans and with the lyrics. 7. [RSK] What’s the one song that you were particularly drawn to? The song I was particularly drawn to is . When I first heard the guide, I was worried because it sounded so hard, but the result was better than I thought. There’s also a behind-the-scenes story where I edited it to make it sound better; I said to IOAH, “Wouldn’t it be good to swap the second and the first verses?” and swapped them. 8. [RSK] I heard you wanted to make this EP a scene, not a song. If you could pick a movie that’s similar to this EP, which one comes to mind? If you think about it from the point of view of the person singing the song... I like the movie “Josee, the Tiger and the Fish”, but at the end of the movie, there is a scene where Josee is left alone and grills mackerel forlornly. I think that comes to mind first because I thought it was similar to the scene when I was recording the lyrics of “Viola”, “from behind my collapsed stage, look at me, desensitised.” 9. [RSK] Apart from the album, your favourite movies and books, music, games... I’d also like to hear some stories about your taste. I like movies like “All About Lily Chou-Chou”, “Monster” and “Moonlit Winter”, because I like the soundtracks embedded in movies more. I also listen to the soundtracks often. As for books, I used to like poetry collections, but these days, I try to read psychological and self-improvement books, and as for games, I don’t like aggressive and violent ones, so I like ones with a calm and peaceful style, like “Animal Crossing”. 10. [RSK] What message penetrates [I Did], does Yves think? A rainbow after the rain. 11. [RSK] What were your thoughts after completing your first solo promotions for [LOOP]? I made a difficult decision and chose a difficult path, but I want to praise myself for starting. Like anyone else, it is inevitable that regardless of the outcome, there will be disappointment, but thanks to the support from the fans, I thought many times about wanting to do better in the future. 12. [RSK] Among the countless things you’ve wanted to do, what are some of the things you achieved as a soloist this year, and what are some you haven’t achieved yet? What I achieved was that I really wanted to have a fan song as a solo artist, and I was so happy that an artist named blah told my story and completed it as a great song and gifted it to me. What I want to achieve in the future is that I want to compose my own songs like the fans want me to and to show you a more artist-like side. 13. [RSK] As you completed your solo debut successfully this year, I think it will be a special feeling to wrap up this year. That's right. There’s a feature on my phone called “one year ago today” that shows me past photos, and it makes me sad even now because it looks like I was going through much hardship at that time. But at the same time, I’m doing something that I never thought of at that time, so I’m grateful for every moment and have a little more positive thoughts about not having to worry too far in the future. 14. [RSK] [LOOP], [I Did], and what do you want to show next as Yves? I’m also looking forward to and am curious about it. There are so many things I want to do and so many things I like that I’m expanding my spectrum every day and my tastes are constantly changing. I’m curious about the colours I’ll be in by the time my next album comes out and what kind of music I’ll be making. I’ll be spending every day looking forward to it. 15. [RSK] What’s musician Yves’ ultimate goal? The definition of a musician is to become a person who is not ashamed. 16. [RSK] It’s already the last question. I read that you talked about your fans in a recent interview, saying, “They liked it because it was an Yves-like choice.” What do you think Yves is like? I can’t see myself completely objectively in my daily life, but when fans say it’s an Yves-like choice, I subjectively think that to be Yves-like is to be “scared, but still have the courage to choose an adventure, and to eventually do what you set out to do." Yves’ various pictorial images and the full interview will be available in Rolling Stone Korea Vol. 13, to be published later. Photographs by Kim Moondog ( Source )

Hi-yo. It's Neejinie the Power Blog Girl Already.. The seasons have passed and winter-winter is here Honestly do not want to get out from under my covers for that reason My neighbor-nims, are you dressing warmly? If you catch a cold.. Nonononono~~~~ (In the Sweet Girls tone) The thing I will be reviewing today is..! These days, Today's. Workout. Finished No T.R.F Today's reading finished~^^ has been trending quite a bit on social media, right? So. I have prepared An introduction to three places where you can enjoy books and whiskey together~ Let us head over without further ado 1. Chaeg Bar Rumor had it that the owner-nim was handsome at this place.. So my heart was racing pit-a-pat-a-pit-a-pat-a-pit-a-pat before I even opened the door ["I wandered for 20 years searching for you"] To. Chaeg Bar's owner-nim As soon as I entered, the space was lined with almost a library-like quantity of books as well as whiskeys Books and whiskey.. This was my first time too, so I was very excited I am quite the distant person from books, so hegh But still I am the Power Blog Girl so...!!!!! A photo with the books-♡ As for this whiskey bar. The owner-nim is a voracious reader who loves books. So they sold whiskeys on the menu that go along with book titles!!! The first drink I ordered was 'Call Me by Your Name' !!!!!!!!!!!! (To be honest I didn't know this was a book because I only saw the movie) While I've only seen the movie for Call Me by Your Name , I did feel like that the color blue suited that movie well And what do you know!! This sensibly bluish-colored whiskey!!!! And also They flavor it using peaches, which is key to the plot of Call Me by Your Name This one is worth an attempt even for people who are not good with alcohol Peach yogurt flavor?! The second drink I ordered was The book by author Han Kang-nim who's been a hot topic for her recent Nobel Prize for Literature 'The Vegetarian'!!! The color was kind of greenish, just like you'd expect from the word vegetarian ! It mixes a lot of herb-based whiskeys This drink contains absinthe What is absinthe, you ask..? It's a thing.. You don't need to know... Tastes like tire.. Sigh The important thing is I tried The Vegetarian whiskey ♡ Haha goodbye Third, I ordered this whiskey called 'The Moon and Sixpence' , but why did I t;aeeke this photo next to The Vegetarian book? I don't know but I wasn't drunk. ㅋ Anyway! I've never read this book, but personally I used to love the song "The Moon and Sixpence" by Lucia sunbaenim when I was a trainee So I ordered it! This drink is grapefruit-based and quite sweet and tasty But I don't know what the book is about so..ㅋ I don't know if it suits that well Since the owner-nim is a book-lover Maybe people who have read it would go, Ohhhh!! This is truly The Moon and Sixpence!! Maybe. I need to read more books.. Hegh Lastly, I ordered this whiskey called 'Proof of Gu' . This wasn't a cocktail on their menu, but it's a book that made the biggest impression on me lately when I read it, so I made a special request If you've read Proof of Gu you would know but.. It goes quite well with a blood-red color.. It's that kind of book  ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ I can't spoil what it's about~ Since some people probably want to read it. It's kind of an intense(?) topic this book has So the taste of this whiskey was quite intense too. Because it contains absinthe. I'm an absinthe hater girl, go away!!! But still he made it especially for me, so I really enjoyed it! By the way everyone, this place has this kind-of magical spot you know? This, now this is the killing part. Here's an ordinary-looking bookcase It's got this hidden button;;; Insanity Once you press this button ?????????? The bookcase slides open??? There is space behind the pillar(?) [T/N: from an old Internet meme] Holy moly guacamole A secret space unfolds You can enjoy reading in this private space too I think this space is great for enjoying when! you come with multiple friends (and it's actually cheaper) But why do I feel like I would only drink in here I think being able to enjoy books in diverse spaces was a nice thing about Chaeg Bar ♡ The owner-nim was delicious and the whiskey was kind ^_^ The second place I'll be showing you is 2 . Dada Lab This is called Dada Lab! The owner-nim here knows what's hip too ㅋ All kinds of hip photos hanging on the walls and a very large variety of whiskey This place has a charm that's distinct from the first place I described And that is How they improvise a cocktail on the spot when you give them a list of keywords! What I requested was a line from the song 'How Can I Love the Heartbreak, You're the One I Love - AkMu' which the Nobel Laureate Han Kang-nim was said to be very inspired by! ["Note: jasmine qing tea, rosemary, silver tequila, lavender, dry gin, etc."] ["How could I, how for you / Until our love as deep / as the ocean all dries up / Parting would be to wait until then"] Insane isn't it.. Sigh.. After you hand them the keywords, they write back kindly with the ingredients used The visuals looking like a deep ocean...! Sob I feel the heartbreak of love It was tasty too! It wasn't the kind of taste I really love personally, (it was a little sweeet) but I still feel like crafting whiskey on the spot is really amazing. Has the feel of artistry too. ["If you see five people, there's always at least one piece of garbage."] ["Five-flavor berry, ink, Ardbeg, etc. Wine base"] The second whiskey I ordered ㅋ Is a memorable line from the anime Naruto which I like ㅋ "If you see five people, there's always at least one piece of garbage." Giggle Honestly I wanted to write 'rasengan' or 'shadow clone technique' but I felt like that would be difficult for owner-nim so I changed tack ㅋ So which one of us is the garbage ㅋ Owner-nim suddenly gave me this surprise gift Made me this whiskey that goes with "Butterfly Effect", an ARTMS song ♡ I'm a woman who gets emotional at these things.. ♡ It had the prettiest visual among the three whiskeys so I couldn't help but fall for it I asked owner-nim, if the readers of this blog were to come here and ask Hi there~ Gimme a glass of that ARTMS cocktail~ then would they make them for you And they said yes ㅎㅁㅎ actually I'm not certain kek You know, the standard snack they give you here is Kkoidori? I love old-school snacks so much ♡ They also sell s'more cookies as snacks too But this place doesn't sell many things on the snack menu So if you visit, I do recommend eating a meal beforehand!! ? ? H u h? You're asking if I haven't forgotten something? Right~~ ㅎ (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵) Today's theme was books & whiskey~~ I haven't talked about the book part~~ Come along, come along~ They have this separate second-floor space I guess it's more like a split level than second floor! When I went up, there were many people reading in this cozy space It kind of felt like reading in an attic It's the coziest~ comfiest~ feeling spot among the three I'm showing you today! The last place I'll tell you about is 3. Literature Salon Chogo This one is located underground Don't lose me and follow along ~ No but this one has such a pretty entrance Kind of feels like going to an exhibit Think would it be quite nice if people who are starting to get into each other came together It was full of that kind of atmosphere  (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵) As a space where you can enjoy books and whiskey together This place also had many kinds of books! While the first spot Chaeg Bar felt like a library for reading This spot, Literature Salon Chogo, felt like a bookstore Good-vibe bookstore No but here's what's really strong about this place. The menu is so huge. If you didn't eat before coming, it's heckin possible to eat a meal here This was a whiskey bar where they turn poetry anthologies into whiskey expressions! But forget the anthologies, I'm hungry so let's order food; Haaa but wasn't this supposed to be a whiskey bar? Why is the food so good;; Making me Giyoung-ie again Mushroom maniacs out there please try the butter grilled mushrooms please!!!!!!!!!! Literally paradise as soon as you take a bite Okay let's pull myself together I gotta review the whiskey; Yes of course I did order whiskey too For my first one I ordered the whiskey associated with the poetry anthology 'We Love Atmosphere' Just like its name, the whiskey seems to have moody atmosphere. With sweet visuals and taste It felt like I'd fall in love, just like the title Neejinie loves Ourii♡ Second, I ordered this whiskey called 'Catcalling' This one feels like the alcohol afficionados would really love it You can taste the whiskey quite clearly, and the right amount of sweetness for quite nice balance Also that candied cherry on top was tasty! Personally do not recommend the cherries on top of the We Love Atmosphere ♡ The last whiskey I ordered was called 'My Woman's Fruit' This whiskey had the strongest dryness out of the three Oh wait maybe they said this was gin and not whiskey.. What was it again. It's not that I was drunk, that's not why I can't remember; Selfies with these whiskeys that also have pretty visuals ♡ Ahhghhg I'm getintg drnnk They had a mirror, so took some mirror selfies with my PowerBlogGirl team ♡ Heheht In conclusion, at Literature Salon Chogo I felt like this was a space where you could catch all three of food, whiskey and books, so it was really nice! With that I've recommended three places to you today! How did you like Today's PowerBlogGirl review?? I like whiskey so This set of reviews was very interesting for me ㅎㅎ Uheheheghh I need to; sleep noww yikes the alcohol on my breath I wanted to take after Han Kang author-nim and instead ended up drinking like the Han River, drunken me... (The next day) ["How much did I drink yesterday"] You'll come watch on YouTube too right!!!

https://cafe.daum.net/Loossemble/b7wF/151 Hello, this is CTDENM. Firstly we would like to express our gratitude for your precious support and love for the members of Loossemble (Hyunjin, Yeojin, Vivi, Gowon, Hyeju). We are informing you that the exclusive contracts with the members of Loossemble have ended. We sincerely thank the Loossemble members for their meaningful time with CTDENM, and will support the members' bright future journeys. Thank you.

“I felt like this year was the Act 2 of my life. It really felt like I escaped through a hidden door in a room where I thought there was no way out. Through this experience, when I had thought it was the end, ‘so it isn’t the end.’ I think in many ways, there were many things that started this year, so I want to not forget this feeling from this year, and take strength and have a good next year.” The members of LOONA had to go through an unintended hiatus while in a lawsuit against their former agency regarding their exclusive contracts. Legal disputes have made it difficult for the group to look forward to full-group activities, and the members have dispersed into groups and solo artistes. Having started in a group, she was worried and anxious as she went solo. She was worried that fans might not like her ‘solo’ music. But now Yves knows. That the fans still believe in her and support her in her choice. So she has found the quite a bit of the ‘peace’ she had been hoping for. Released six months after the release of her debut album LOOP in May this year, her new album, I Did , unravels various emotions that Yves faced in her process of finding peace as an artiste. It was natural that ‘peace’ became a hot topic in Yves’ round interview, held at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 11th. Quickly making her comeback “in hopes that fans don’t feel like it’s a long hiatus,” Yves said, “I’m so excited because they’re liking it the same way that I am, and I think I'll be able to perform less nervously and have more fun than when I debuted.” When asked if she is calmer than before, Yves said, “I think so. Before I found a company, I was most anxious because I just wanted to be a solo artist. I also had many worries. When I debuted, even though it was the beginning steps of my dream, I was worried again about whether my fans wouldn’t like my [solo work]. But I really got the feeling that that my fans believed in me and supported me on my decision, so I’m definitely more peaceful in this album than in the last album.” Why did she think that her fans might not like her music? “Since I’m now a solo artist, having been part of a group, I thought that there would also be many people who like Yves being in a group. I was worried about that, but while going solo I wanted to find a new me," Yves said. This is how she came to be with her current agency, Paix Per Mil. Yves answered, “I was curious about the synergy between the company’s sophisticated music style and the emotions that I’m pursuing. I had a lot of fun while doing this, but fans might be surprised and feel awkward, thinking, ‘Oh? This is an Yves I’m seeing for the first time.’ I think I was very worried about that.” While her debut song “Loop” introduced a house genre with rhythmic alternative beats, this title song “Viola” is a hyperpop song featuring a dreamy sound, and Yves’ refined vocals enhance the song’s charm. Yves introduced the track, “somewhat unusually, ‘Viola’ starts with the hook and keeps repeating the hook at the end. When I hear this part of ‘I just need some space,’ I keep humming it. That’s the great merit of the title song.” She said, “Isn’t there a characteristic aspect that the hyperpop [genre] can give? I think there are many unique elements that I can express, so when I thought of ‘music you can see’, I wondered if ‘Viola’ had an impact with the vibe of a title track.” Yves originally wanted the second track “Hashtag” more as the title track. As soon as she heard the song, she thought, “Oh, this is the title track.” She said, “It feels like a song with a hip-hop vibe, which I’ve never tried before, so I felt like my ears were caught right from the intro. The topline is very unique. Usually, the song is divided into verse, prechorus, and chorus, but all the parts of (this song) feel like highlights. This is a song with strong points that I complimented myself, thinking, ‘Oh, this is all killing parts.’” It took the longest time to record as well. Yves said, “You’ll know when you hear it, the topline of ‘Hashtag’ is very dynamic and there is a part where the English lyrics are very quick. There is a rap-like part with around a dozen words in it. I had to pronounce it correctly to convey it well, but I can’t. That part alone took me almost two hours, and I think I cried tears of joy when the recording turned out well.” Yves had participated in composing “Strawberry Soda” and “Truman Show” by Loossemble, a group formed by LOONA members. Yves has not yet included songs which she participated in writing in her solo albums yet. Yves replied, “The company told me that they wanted me to fully trust them with the music, and to follow them.” She said, “When I write lyrics and compose songs, my emotivity and colour come out. On the one hand, I wanted to include such things, but on the other hand, I was also curious about the different sides of me that the company saw, from a third party perspective. I agreed to have all my songs be done by the company up until this album. I will have a lot of time after the tour, and I’m aiming to include my songs starting with the next album. Please listen to it lots." Would Yves be satisfied with the end product of a third party’s interpretation of her? “Yes!” Yves said. “I was satisfied and had a lot of fun, and I was grateful for this process. While promoting as part of a group, I had a fixed position. As a member in charge of girl crush, only promoting as that powerful character, I thought I possessed only that colour.” On the other hand, the company saw a different Yves. Yves was content, saying, “my colour and character that the company made for me seems to have a dreamy and still girl-like feeling. I’m grateful that they discovered such a unique part of me, and should I say that the framework of my thoughts has broadened? I’m really happy because I feel like my mind map has expanded in terms of music production and visual aspects.” Yves started as part of a group and ended up on stage as a soloist. Asked if she ever felt anxious or lonely because she was “alone,” Yves said, “Uh... I still often feel a little anxious, but fortunately, I made Powerpoints even when I was active in a group. When I show something, I want to show it properly. I tended to give my opinions a lot back then too, so I think I had few difficulties in my solo activities.” She added, “For the worries and anxieties that come anyway, I contact the members almost every day and we listen to each other's songs and talk, and I relieve my stress by getting support from them. I feel reassured. I feel like I get a lot of strength from my members.” “What’s funny about my personality is that I’m pessimistic and positive at the same time. I mean, if you’re a perpetually pessimistic person, you can be trapped in those thoughts, you get lethargic and I think your behaviour could really become twisted, and imagining the worst is like looking under the mattress of your heart. It makes me think, ‘You should be prepared because this could happen,’ and I feel like I’m preparing for all sorts of situations, so I’m pessimistic and a little positive at the same time… I think I’m a person who practices and does various activities.” Regarding the big challenge of going “solo” this year, she said, “I was very worried and anxious, but I really want to compliment myself for what I started. I was also very worried about the LOOP album promotions, but I think I did well, so I want to give myself a good appraisal just for doing well there.” Also, she spoke again, “Until a few years ago, I was the type of person who, instead of affirming myself, had to receive affirmation from people around me, telling me that’s right and that I did well, in order to think, ‘Oh, that’s right. That’s what I’m good at.’ I’m so happy and thankful when I get good reviews and results, but now when I affirm it myself? That’s when I’m the happiest.” Yves “really looked for” the reactions when she released a song. She looked back, “I used to be impacted [seeing negative reactions], but [now] I think of it as feedback and become stimulated to work harder. They didn’t find the new side of me as awkward as I had feared. There were many people who liked it as well.” The one reaction to her last album that gave her the most stimulation was, “Go back to being in a group.” She laughed, saying, “Wasn’t that too quick a judgment? I thought that perhaps it was out of interest.” What Yves wants to hear with this album is, “She pulls off the hyperpop genre well too.” She said, “I think I’m very thankful when even for the sides of me I don’t know, the fans say, ‘that’s very like Yves.’ I want to hear those words again this time,” she hoped. Yves, who released I Did and started promotions on the 14th, will hold her first solo tour “The Apple Cinnamon Crunch Tour”, starting in December. She will visit Berlin, Germany on December 4, Warsaw, Poland on December 7, London, England on December 9, Paris, France on December 12, and Rome, Italy on December 15. Regarding the background of the unique and long tour name, Yves explained, “If you look at the poster, there’s a picture of a girl I drew, so like that, since it’s really my first solo tour, I wanted to give it a little more relaxed, kitschy, and free feeling, rather than a grand feeling. I think I put many fun elements into the tour name and the poster too.” When asked why she was holding the tour in Europe, Yves replied, “I already really like Berlin, so I’m so grateful to be able to perform my music in a place I like,” adding, “I find it very meaningful and it gives me motivation to do better. I also think that I better turn everyone in the audience that doesn’t know me as well into my fans.” ( Source )

The jellies are so pretty. ㅜ The flavor is one thing but they're even nice to look at ㅜ sniffle My recommended jelly is Honeybee~ I've never had honey-flavored jelly before. That was fresh The other ones are good too! You can pick according to your tastes. 2. Sticky Baby The second shop is called Sticky Baby~ I.. I become KIOF.... Everyone thought the same thing right.? I'm not the only one who thought of this song? You can hum along to Sticky as you enter the store while twerking . This store actually hand-makes their jelly..!!!!! The owner makes it themselves You can see the jellies drying right? It's also an open kitchen So you can feel at ease. You can't help but yell out 2938492 compliments as soon as you enter this shop. And there's one more amazing thing. . . . . Indeed. They sell a 19+ rated jelly in here~~~~? Heh~~? . Heh It's not what you're thinking of(?) actually. They sell whiskey jellies containing highball!! And they really do not sell these to minors Apparently these sell very well as gifts Rather than having a single flavor most of the jellies blended two flavors ex) passionfruit + peach For me, including the highball jelly White peach jasmine Passionfruit Cherry chocolate Pina colada Rose grapefruit I tasted these five jellies and, ["Tasty as hell, crazy"] This one is so delish;;;;;; The cherry chocolate is just insane. I felt it instinctively as soon as I took a bite. Ah, this one. Has to go perfectly with whiskey. And they said customers really do pair it with whiskey a lot As expected of my taste buds. I become the Ahn Sung-jae chef-nim. I could sense how deeply the owner-nim thought about the combination of jelly flavors. I.. Bought it with my own money for the first time,,....,.,. Felt like I was gonna keep thinking of this cherry chocolate.. Owner-nim wrapping each one personally.. ♡ Proof of purchase with my own money ♡ 3. Goche Handcrafted Jelly Here's another handcrafted jelly shop where the owner-nim makes the jelly! There's something all purplish about the sign and interior and everything huh? This is actually a world star jelly shop that BTS J-Hope sunbaenim has visited (Owner-nim.. wasn't actually there at the time.. This sad. backstory..) If there's a mirror, it's only proper to take some pics! OK but aren't the jelly visuals so pretty..? ♡ Colorful and fresh and a whole ruckus This was another jelly shop that lets you pick as much of your preferred flavors as you want. I.. have been eating so much jelly since morning that I'm about to get cavities, so I just bought a li~ttle amount to get a taste. The jelly here had a really unique texture. Like baby buttocks Very soft and smooth texture! As for taste, it tasted like jelly. (No I'm not tired) If you are a fan of BTS sunbaenim! Then I think it's worth a visityodelayee 4. Jelyshot Remarkable energy in this shop's visual. . . . Ye oppa.... Why Gogiseo Nawa [Why you coming outta there]...? This place feels like they slammed everything hip-hop into here. You think you kinda hip?ㅋ Then you have to come, it feels like. The interior made the owner-nim's tastes very clear. These days, even jelly has to be hip you know? Holy Shhhhhhhhhhhh~~~~~~~~ ~ Look at that jelly visual. How can you resist buying these.? I told you. Hip slammed in. You see that Hello Kitty jelly? (I can't help all the fogging up.. Just look closely) In fact it's not even just Hello Kitty. It's ☆Hello Kitty phone☆ . Y2K jelly form insane.];; But that's not all for this shop's charms. Insane, just insane. You can even add photos.... I included some photos I took while reviewing photobooths in the previous edition ㅎㅁㅎ This is the perfect! jelly for a birthday gift to a friend who doesn't like cake I tried this irresistible hip pudding-shape jelly and this cake jelly(?) as well, and Uh mm.. Mm. I will withhold judgment. I mean it doesn't taste bad? First of all the taste is less jelly and more Petitzel? Is that what it's called? You know what I mean It's similar to that And now the flavor is like 70% fruit and 30% artificial just about?. But visuals are quite important in this day and age, aren't they. Among the jellies I have seen 1st place in visuals 1st place for events 1st place for Insta photos 1st place for hip-hop I award you all these. ["My stomach is turning over"] I ate too much jelly since the morning and I seriously haaaaa. I mean my stomach haaa. For real. But I still need to announce the winner. The winner in my heart is . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . Sticky Baby!! ["Don't-know-how-to-eat Villain: Don't you thank me after trying it out"] Personally, the Sticky Baby jelly tasted better when you nibble~ and eat in bites rather than swallowing whole like wharg! And people who like whiskey could pair it with that and have it work quite well~ Is my opinion ㅎㅎ Did you enjoy today's Power Blog Girl Heejin review too? I will continue burning my shoe leather so that I can! Review things personally So if you want me to review something! Please post lots of comments do wn below♡ . .. .. .... ..... . Mm ... .. . ..

Reporter Lee Jae-hoon After a tumultuous road, Yves (Ha Sooyoung) from the group LOONA has discovered a courage by the name of centripetal force. The members of LOONA, who enjoyed immense popularity overseas, including entering Billboard’s main album chart Billboard 200, were scattered against their will due to conflicts and disputes with their original agency. During the following unintended hiatus, Yves peered closer into herself. When Yves, who is closer to an introvert, was promoting as part of the group, she tried to aim outward with a centrifugal force, enveloping a broader boundary. That is to say, she only felt satisfied when she had external validation. Starting with her solo debut album LOOP , released in May, she was armed with the energy of centripetal force. Instead of accepting the force majeure, she exercised a cohesive force to focus on herself and challenge herself without hesitation at the things she could do. In other words, she could satisfy herself just by acknowledging herself. Her second EP, I Did , is an album in which she looks into herself more deeply with that centripetal force. Yves, who had been scared to face her pitch-black inner side and was playing hide-and-seek with it, finally declares that she has the steely strength to face it. Despite the story being so introspective, she also showed the courage to not write and compose these songs. This is because she needed to transform musically. In this album, Yves focuses on showing her well-refined method acting. In a world crafted by lyricists and composers belonging to Yves’ label Paix Per Mil, including executive producer Millic (Cheon Seung-hyeon), with her as the subject, Yves shows off a peak in immersion. Yves made her home here this year, believing in Paix Per Mil’s music and production sense. The following is a recent Q&A session between Yves and reporters held in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. -The word “space” is repeated a lot in your title song “Viola”. What kind of space were you thinking about as you sang it? “The message that runs through this album is peace. It’s the element of my happiness that accounts for the biggest share. All the emotions I faced to chase down that peace, I melted them all into the track. And I think I needed some mental space, too. The word “stage” also appears in the lyrics of “Viola”, and I wanted that to be a time that acts as an on/off when the fans heard it. I sang the song thinking, ‘I hope they can relax or be comforted by listening to this song.’” -I think there must have be a reason why the theme of this album is peace. “The first thing I said I wanted to show when I signed the contract with Paix Per Mil was my candid self. Things I couldn’t show when I was working as part of a group. It could be boldness in terms of fashion and visuals, but I wanted to be honest through music about the emotions I felt. This album is an extension of my previous work, LOOP . With LOOP and this album, I tried to find the happiest way to do music, and I worked on it thinking, ‘Let’s be honest about how I feel.’ These are the things I made while I was thinking about happy music.” -What’s the biggest difference between now and when you were in LOONA? “When I was in LOONA, I debuted right away without a trainee period, so it really wasn’t enough to infuse my colours and I also wasn’t allowed to do that. Now, I get involved in the entire process. The part that has changed the most is the ‘difference in mindset’. When I was promoting as a group, I think I tried to find ‘peace of mind’ only through the approval of the company and the public. Now, whether it’s feeling joy while making something, or feeling proud when I’ve made it, I’m more frequently acknowledging that I’m proud of myself and I feel happy.” -Then, what was your happiest memory from working on this album? “The guide for “Hashtag” (R&B soul pop genre) was so hard. The topline is dynamic and busy. The director Ioah and I worried a lot before I went in to do the recording, but he said, ‘Do as you please.’ I shed the pressure and recorded the first line, and he said, ‘This is exactly it,’ so that’s when I got the hang of it and I had fun recording after that.” -You’ve shown faith in Millic while working on your previous album too, but it did feel jarring when you were said to be working with him for the first time. I didn’t think there was any point of contact. “CEO Millic was the biggest reason I thought I should be with Paix Per Mil. I think there are many things I like and can do, but I was in a state of uncertainty where I didn’t know how to express it all in a cohesive way. But as soon as CEO Millic saw me, he instilled confidence in me, saying, ‘You have character.’ I thought that there would be a good synergistic effect when his wide musical spectrum met with what I possessed. Thanks to him, I think my ear for listening has broadened, too. Sometimes I wonder if he listens to too much difficult music. Haha. Songs like Willow’s “Symptom Of Life”. It’s full of elements that aren’t used in K-pop. And he also listens to a lot of developing-world music. But he also likes music like Keyshia Cole’s “Love”. I think my fans might find his music unfamiliar, but I definitely believe there are elements that can appeal to the public.” -The fan response to your last album promotions was impressive. Is there any kind of fan reaction that you’re looking forward to with this album? “My last album was my first solo album, so I tried some bold things. I was actually very worried about what I wanted to show. But the fans said, ‘We really love that this was an Yves-like decision and an Yves-like output.’ I felt like they had faith in me, so I felt ‘I could do well’ even with my future steps, and I was thankful for that. This album spans the whole of both the beginning and the end of this year, and if I were to hear that in 2024, Yves’ debut and the wrap-up to that debut were successful, I think I’ll be able to begin 2025 happily.” -What is Yves’ standard of success? “As I said earlier, while I had found stability and happiness through external validation before, now I feel satisfied in being able to affirm on my own. I can’t say that I’ve completely given up on external measures yet, but rather than in numbers, I think the biggest happiness will be in having no regrets when I finish my activities and feeling that I did my best. If the fans who always trust and follow me even just tell me, ‘It was good,’ I feel confident that I can continue my activities in the future.” -It seems like the key point of this album is the “synesthetic image” that emphasises both vision and hearing. It can also probably be connected to the sense of space. What was the atmosphere that Yves and Paix Per Mil wanted to emphasise? “I thought the intro and outro had huge roles. The message that penetrates this album is the emotions that I faced in finding peace. When you first listen to the intro, you feel something confusing. The lyrics keep emphasising that I need space somehow, and you feel the confusion and anxiety. But the outro consists of almost two minutes of only trap at the end. When you listen to it with earphones, you feel the sense of space as you said. Listening to that sound makes me feel very much at ease, like I’m entering a different world. If you listen to the album in order, you will feel many different emotions, I think.” -Is there anything else you do to find peace in your daily life? “I do very static activities when I’m alone at home. I often meditate and use tea ceremony sets. Not long ago, I received a really big singing bowl as a gift from my uncle. So sometimes I also find peace in my mind by listening to the ringing of the singing bowl.” -You participated in songwriting when you were in LOONA, but you didn’t participate in writing and composing songs in this album. “Paix Per Mil first told me, ‘Musically, we want you to trust the company wholly and follow us first.’ And I also decided to put down my own writing for a while and focus more on how the company sees me. And this album feels like the conclusion of LOOP , so we discussed in the direction of having me participate in production from the next album onwards.” -I think it’s also a great courage to not write lyrics or compose songs. What is the part of your identity that you are most pondering about at this point? “I thought I’d be prouder and feel better if I filled my solo debut album with songs I made, but it also took courage to let go of that. I trusted the company completely with my music up until this album, but starting with the next album, I want to become a singer-songwriter who creates my own colour with the knowledge I learned from and the spectrum broadened at the company. After all, I can express myself better if I make the songs. I was also curious about what kind of feel the company saw in me, and they drew out a lot of my emotivity and girlish innocence, rather than my girl crush side. I was very fascinated about and thankful for that. Because they broadened my spectrum. It was a great opportunity for me to spread my music in such an expanded space.” -In your view, is being “from LOONA” is a positive image or a negative image for you? “I’m very grateful that they recognise me as that, and I think it’s positive. Many people forgot me because I went on hiatus for almost a year. But I’m so thankful that they’re reminded of me because of this group, LOONA. I also think that the members are making the group name shine in their respective places, so I’m thankful for being called ‘LOONA Yves’. LOONA also had a bigger overseas fanbase. And my solo fanbase now is bigger overseas, too. I’m planning to tour abroad, and I hope that through this and future activities, I’ll be able to increase my domestic fanbase and hold concerts in Korea as well.” -Female soloists are popular all over the world these days. There is also a trend where young women, who are the main consumers of popular culture, tend to prefer female singers to male singers. Do you think it’s a better time to promote as a female soloist these days? “From a certain perspective, you might say that someone is a competitor, but it’s a great help to me that my seniors produce great results and continue their activities consistently and energetically. I’m grateful that they continue to expand the scope of what female artistes are able to do and pioneer those paths ahead of me. And that also makes me dream of taking after them and helping lift the profile of female artistes by consistently producing music. I do think you could say that it’s a good time to promote as a female solo artiste. But if you have the music and the preparation, you can create your own timing. If there are many good female artistes, I can get mentioned alongside them and ride the flow together, but if there are few, I can expand my range, so I’m not too fussy about the timing.” -What do you think is your own colour? “To describe myself as a colour, it’s black. Black is used a lot to symbolise the darkness that people avoid. But I think I have the courage to throw myself into new and challenging situations. I feel like I’m constantly getting into situations that resemble black. Also, black doesn’t lose its presence no matter what colour it’s put on. I want to resemble that kind of thing, too.” -Don’t you struggle mentally or blame yourself when you’re unsuccessful at those challenging things you attempt? “I tend to blame myself often. But now my mind and attitude have changed a lot. Even if I fail, I think what I learn from that is greater. So now I think I can be cool and let it pass. In the past, when I failed, I couldn’t admit my failure.” -Was there a special reason for such a change? “We (LOONA) were separated from each other, against our will. And the one year of hiatus that I was forced to take really felt like a decade for me. I’m someone who has a hard time not being busy. Circumstances made me unable to do anything. I felt very chained up. Emotionally and situationally, I felt oppressed. After those experiences, I try to challenge myself more and be freer than before. To be honest, I get stressed out about situations that happen suddenly. That’s why the members used to call me a scared sunfish. I was with the members for 6-7 years, including my debut period, you know. The members were always worried, “You push yourself too much.” Even the members could see how hard I was being on myself. But some of them left me letters at my bedside, and some of them hand-wrote me letters... When I was working as part of the group, those were the ways I found consolation, through the members. Now, rather than relying on someone, I try to find a way to comfort myself and solve the problems.” -But the work of being a singer also requires you to endure stress, right? “It took me a really long time to get parental permission to become a singer. My mom was against it for almost 10 years. She asked me later, ‘Why do you want to do this when you know it’s a tough road?’ So I said, ‘I’m not doing it because I want to do it, but because I think I’m going to die if I don’t.’ I still feel the same as when I was 17, harbouring those thoughts. There’s no other reason. This work just makes me so happy and attracts my heart so much that I’m willing to endure all the hardships, so that’s why I keep doing it.” ( Source )

Yves constantly throws herself into new environments. From transitioning from an idol group into being a solo artist, to making the decision to partner with independent label Paix Per Mil instead of a traditional K-pop agency, Yves has always embraced the unknown. “I often think, ‘How can I learn more and hear from the fans that I have evolved?’ I think that’s what keeps me pushing myself into new situations, even if it’s scary and challenging.” And this mindset has become her reality. Following the release of LOOP on May 29, 2024, Yves presents a new side of herself with her latest EP, I Did . Much like its title, delivering the concise yet powerful message that “I Did It,” Yves continues to take risks and achieve. When I saw Yves as a group member, I thought, “Maybe she’ll stand on stage as a solo artist someday.” And that became a reality back in May. Everyone says it’s an “Yves-like” choice. Actually, I didn’t know that I would be a solo artist. Perhaps, fans had been watching my personality and the style I’ve pursued for 7 years and already considered the possibility. Looking back, when I was a group member, I made music and had the company listen to it, and I gave presentations in front of the CEO about comprehensive things like outfits, makeup, and dance. I’m sure many things still feel new for you. It’s not an exaggeration to say that everything does. When I was in a group, my voice, dance colour, character, image and so on were pre-decided. But now I’ve changed everything. I’ve done a lot of research to find new tones, and I learn every time I receive new songs. Your new EP I Did has been released, reflecting that newness. How do you feel? The biggest goal of my solo career was to get my fans to empathise with me. In the profession of being an artiste, there are times when you have to hide your feelings, you know. But rather, I wanted to bare everything honestly, and thought it would be nice to let fans listen to my songs befitting their various situations and feel comforted and empathised with. So in LOOP , I expressed a variety of emotions in various genres, and in I Did , I honestly expressed the feelings I felt in the process of finding peace. Peace is the element of my happiness that accounts for the biggest share. When I listen to it in order, from the intro to the outro, I feel at peace. Peace is the most important thing in life, and this album gives you that feeling. So, is that why the title of the album is I Did ? As in Yves did it. The only way I can talk about this is in comparison to LOOP . I think that LOOP , like its MV, is an open-ended album where I keep wandering and drifting while moving to another world. On the other hand, I felt really good when I finished recording I Did , and I can confidently say to my fans, “I feel like I’ve found happiness.” Maybe it could be I Did in that sense. While doing solo activities, what’s the thing that has changed the most? Whenever I thought, “Can I act like this?” or “If I do this, wouldn’t the fans hate it?”, there were many things I was careful about. But now, even if I’m skeptical about it, I just do it first. Then I feel like I’m breaking the mould bit by bit, thinking, “I worried too much. Actually, that wasn’t a big deal.” That’s something that has changed. To give an example from singing, like how there are parts of your face that you don’t like, I also have a voice tone that I dislike. When that tone gets recorded, I point it out and say, “I’ll redo this part.” But sometimes, as an exception, the directors like it and a voice I really don’t like ends up in the final product. That’s when I think, “I don’t always have the right answer.” ‘Voice you don’t like?’ The song “Gone Girl” is calm and clean at the beginning. So I had to relax and go for elegance while singing it. It’s already so hard (laughs). That’s why, to my ears, this beginning part just sounded too dainty. So I asked Ioah what he thought, and he told me not to worry about it because it came out so well. And at the end of the same song, there’s a pretty falsetto tone that suddenly comes out. I thought it was unbalanced, but apparently that’s the charm. I don’t like this voice, but when the company and the team say it’s good, I trust them and try it. What's different, outside of music? Like fashion, for example. It's very different. I really love clothes. My mother has run a vintage clothing store since I was young. I used to hang out there and try on different outfits and play model. I even tried to audition as a model, but I didn’t grow to be tall (laughs). That’s how much I love clothes. But when I was a group member, we had many members. So we generally wore uniforms, and that made my desire towards outfitting grow even more. You know what I mean, right? I relieved that through my personal outfits. I wore such diverse outfits that when I ran into my members on the street, they couldn’t recognise me and just passed me by. But when I’m solo, I can do that in my job, too. I can express my love for clothes in a way that matches the music. When I do my fittings, I coordinate my thoughts with the company, and when my opinion is accepted, I feel good. (We do use that expression “wearing the right clothes”, after all.) That’s exactly it. I feel like I’m wearing the right clothes. What kinds of outfits are you attracted to? It’s delightful when I pull off clothes that stand out in colour or are unusual in shape. Since elementary school, I built up a lot of experience trying things out, like wearing a handkerchief on my head, wrapping it around my neck, attaching it to a belt, trying out heels. Through that I gained interest in wearing a variety of styles, so instead of a brand outlet, I prefer going to a vintage shop and buying clothes that I find unique. So, I don't have a “basic” item. It’s hard to find plain clothes in my wardrobe. The celebrity Yves who likes clothes that stand out, the individual Ha Sooyoung who loves peace. Seems like it would be difficult to balance the two. It’s very difficult. It feels like the task of my lifetime. My mom is always telling me, “Your personality really isn’t one to be a celebrity.” I shy away in new environments. So that makes no sense. So whether it’s on Instagram, or in music, or on my blog, or wherever, I try to express myself honestly. I’m always asking my fans too, “Don’t I seem like a neighbourhood friend?” What kind of responses do you get? Just that. They say I’m like a neighbourhood friend. If I say “I need to be more mysterious,” they say, “But that’s your charm so don’t change”. When I go live on fan interaction apps, sometimes I just get under the sheets and sleep, telling them to wake me up in 10 minutes. Even last night I was chatting with fans until 3 AM and doing Infinite Challenge impressions. Then they’re posting chat messages like, “Unnie you’re so much like a real-life friend. You talk the same way.” Whenever that happens, I think, “It’s too late to try to be more mysterious. I’ll just have to admit to who I am.” If people like the way I am like this, there’s no need to change that. We all try to change or make up for shortcomings. What is a shortcoming for Yves? A sense of mystery (laugh)? I think it’s an embarrassment that I shouldn’t present. Even now, if someone goes to watch a video of me while I’m there, I desperately stop them. Regardless of which performance it was, I feel like I’m lacking in all of them so it’s hard for me to endure someone watching that. So I prepare harder, so that I don’t have regrets. But I still have shortcomings. Seems like it’s inseparable from me. Then on the other hand, any traits that you’re satisfied with? I trust that my fans will also love what I like. I wasn’t sure before, but after going through a series of events, and after the fans and I shared our feelings over time, I became very certain that my fans will feel my sincerity when I’m doing something happily. So now I chase the things that I like to do. It seems like a transformative process, moving from being someone who seeks stability and consistency to someone who constantly throws herself into new places. I try to view myself objectively. But I realised that if I simply kept going on according to my tendencies, I wouldn’t see any development at all. Thinking about how I could learn more and hear from the fans that I’ve evolved, I think that’s what makes me keep putting myself into new situations, even if they’re scary or difficult. Now, I’m a little less afraid of new environments. I can have an attitude of making bold decisions and move a bit further forward. ( Source )

[Song is fully in English] You can hear the silence growing on the floor But you just already know. Now you start to sway You feel it slipping out of control But it’s everything you know. Now you understand You hear the silence growing on the floor But you just already know. Now you start to sway You feel it slipping out of control But it’s everything you know. Now you understand I cannot stay awake. It’s all too much I feel so fake It’s hard to take. Feeling gone soon Just run away from my pain Breathe and pray then walk away Just let it last. I don’t know I’m fading fast like a flame Get caught in pain, now I’m lost in the dark again Falling harder, can you save me, baby It’s too bitter, push me down, maybe Let me see now, who I really am Chasing freedom from this weight again You can hear the silence growing on the floor But you just already know. Now you start to sway You feel it slipping out of control But it’s everything you know. Now you understand You hear the silence growing on the floor But you just already know. Now you start to sway You feel it slipping out of control But it’s everything you know. Now you understand [Credits] Lyrics by Millic Composed by Millic Arranged by Millic Synth Performed by Millic Piano Performed by Millic String Performed by Millic

Baby I feel so wrong I wanna take it back and make it right The sun’s about to rise, I need to go Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again I won’t stay up all night. If you keep acting like a child.

Tick tock Baby I feel so wrong. I wanna take it back and make it right The sun’s about to rise, I need to go Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again I won’t stay up all night If you keep acting like a child Oh we keep getting stuck in the same old fight Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again Under water It’s like I’ve fallen into someplace deep When you want, Do I have to take it all? My mama’s say To expect nothing from others I got no reason to depend on you Do not think about taking control Ah try to escape but in the end, back to the same place Baby I feel so wrong I wanna take it back and make it right The sun’s about to rise, I need to go Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again I won’t stay up all night If you keep acting like a child Oh we keep getting stuck in the same old fight Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again Baby I feel so wrong I wanna take it back and make it right The sun’s about to rise, I need to go Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again I won’t stay up all night. If you keep acting like a child. Oh we keep getting stuck in the same old fight Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again Woo 너가 온전히 느낄 때 이미 벌어진 너와 나의 갭 Its too late for you I bet you understand the silence that we can’t forget Let us take our time. Tick tock Baby I feel so wrong. I wanna take it back and make it right The sun’s about to rise, I need to go Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again I won’t stay up all night If you keep acting like a child Oh we keep getting stuck in the same old fight Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again Under water 깊은곳에 빠져버린 것만 같애 When you want, Do I have to take it all? My mama’s say 딴 사람한테 기대 말라는데 I got no reason to depend on you Do not think about taking control Ah 벗어나 보려 해 봐도 결국엔 제 자리에 Baby I feel so wrong I wanna take it back and make it right The sun’s about to rise, I need to go Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again I won’t stay up all night If you keep acting like a child Oh we keep getting stuck in the same old fight Tick tock 1,2,3 oh wasted time again [Credits] Lyrics by Millic, Ioah Composed by Millic, Ioah Arranged by Ioah

[Song is fully in English] Don't take it so hard Done faking cool You made it that way you know that it’s true You thought I was yours but I played it too well "Now it’s your mess, I’m walking away Hands on the wheel Drivin down the highway. I’m okay with it taking a while yeah Chasing the sunset, freedom’s calling my name. Fed-up times are in the past I’ve been trying to make you love me But It was all just fake I’ve been trying to make you love me But It was all just fake A thousand mirrors are watching me yeah But I don’t give a f- babe I just want it more yeah Keep it in the back of your head babe I’m not the girl that who stays the same" Hands on the wheel Drivin down the highway. I’m okay with it taking a while yeah Chasing the sunset, freedom’s calling my name. Fed-up times are in the past I’ve been trying to make you love me But It was all just fake I’ve been trying to make you love me But It was all just fake [Credits] Lyrics by Ioah Composed by Ioah Arranged by Ioah Guitar Performed by Ioah Piano Performed by Ioah Bass Performed by Ioah

I just need some space. I just need some space. space. space. Voices in my head. I just need some space. space. space. It’s too complicated. I’m losing control. Oh I feel the same way. I know who I am. Oh please just stop it. It’s burning my brain. You melting my chain. I got it, you find it. I never let it down. Break it. Just take it. Unless you fight it. It’s up to you. You can’t handle me in this world Inside your gaze pretending to be calm From behind my collapsed stage Look at me, desensitized I just need some space. I just need some space. space. space. Voices in my head. I just need some space. space. space. Oh I’m not that crazy. Push it hard, let me be me. You know I fly high, just feel it. I’mma go far just give me a minute. Let me go, let me go. I’m ready, that’s for sure. I won’t look back, take it my pack. I’ll dance again, dance again. I got it, you find it. I never let it down. Break it. Just take it. Unless you fight it. It’s up to you. You can’t handle me in this world Inside your gaze pretending to be calm From behind my collapsed stage Look at me, desensitized I just need some space. I just need some space. space. space. Voices in my head. I just need some space. space. space. I just need some space. I just need some space. space. space. Voices in my head. I just need some space. space. space. You can’t handle me in this world Inside your gaze pretending to be calm From behind my collapsed stage Look at me, desensitized I just need some space.
