(G)I-DLE’s Soyeon is gearing up for her solo comeback after 5 years and 2 months, reflecting on her journey as she marks her last birthday in her 20s. Cube Entertainment released the intro film for Soyeon’s 1st full solo album ‘Awesome Life’ on official social media channels, showing her looking back on her life. Released on her birthday, the video starts with Soyeon saying, “I can say it was awesome,” and features footage from her childhood, trainee days, appearance on Mnet’s ‘Produce 101’, debut and producing with (G)I-DLE, up to preparing for her first solo album. Phrases like “I always wanted to be new” and “I wanted to do better” appeared throughout the video, revealing her mindset of constantly growing and taking on new musical challenges. Soyeon expressed about her first solo album, “Actually, I think I’ve put it off for quite a long time. One thing I can tell you is that when I become a grandmother and look back at this album, I’ll think, ‘Ah, it was truly romantic.’ Please look forward to ‘Awesome Life’.” Having produced major hits for her group such as ‘TOMBOY’, ‘Nxde’, and ‘Queencard’, Soyeon has solidified her position as an unrivaled producer by becoming a full member of the Korea Music Copyright Association and collaborating with global musicians like Anderson .Paak. Previously, she drew major attention by revealing on a YouTube variety show that her monthly copyright royalties reach up to 1 billion KRW.
