SEOLA, one of the constellation of talents embodied by WJSN, artfully named Cosmic Girls in English, graced us with the announcement of her premiere solo single album, enticingly titled [INSIDE OUT]. The official announcement was posted on the Cosmic Girls’ Twitter account.
The revelation was dressed with a hauntingly beautiful mood image teaser that flirted with the graceful light silhouette of SEOLA, elegantly descending on a luxuriously creamy beige backdrop.
Nestled in the bottom-third of this mesmerizing image lies a triptych of artistry unfolding; an elegantly crafted three-image montage that seeks to capture the enigmatic essence of the artistic story at hand.
Firstly, your gaze might find the dazzling gold chandelier, casting an inviting, warm aura before a regal archway bathed in a complimentary, subdued hue.
A shift in focus reveals SEOLA, a breathtaking centerpiece, her mysterious gaze concealed just beneath her nose. Her fingertips dance delicately upon her slightly parted lips, kindling a flame of anticipation.
The final image, as enchanting as the rest, serves a feast of a fashion statement, a glimpse into SEOLA’s feet elegantly fitted in avant-garde high heels. Her apparel, a striking blend of traditional sophistication and modern aesthetic, already set the stage for an awe-inspiring debut.
SEOLA has proven herself to be an integral force within WJSN, particularly with tracks such as “Our Garden” and “New Me”. Apart from her magnetic vocals, her role as part of the song composition team for WJSN has demonstrated her impressive and diverse talents.
Outside her contributions to WJSN’s unique sound, another milestone in SEOLA’s career was her selection as a DJ for KBS Radio’s Station Z. This new role showcases a whole new side to her capabilities – engaging and entertaining audiences live on air, thereby ramping up the excitement for her impending solo debut.
Adding momentum to this air of anticipation is Brother Su—alias Lee Hyunsoo—a respected musician within the K-pop industry. Retweeting the announcement with an exclusive “COMING SOON”, Brother Su’s endorsement of SEOLA’s debut project underscores his own impressive portfolio as a producer and songwriter.
His notable contributions include the lyrical work for “Beautiful Liar” by MONSTA X and his poignant words on the emotional ballad “Softly” performed by (G)I-DLE’s Miyeon. His proven ability in creating diverse and emotional soundscapes enhances expectations for his involvement in SEOLA’s solo debut.
With both SEOLA’s unique musical style and Brother Su’s proven production prowess in play, we can only hold our breaths in anticipation. One can anticipate a well-balanced synergy of unique artistry and production prowess, foregrounding what promises to be an unforgettable journey into the world of [INSIDE OUT].
