ITZY Yezi “PD Park Jin-young, please put more importance on making myself known than on the results”

ITZY‘s Yezi looked back on the process of participating in writing lyrics. Here, we also conveyed the reactions of PD Park Jin-young and the members.

At the press conference to commemorate the release of her solo debut album ‘AIR’ held at the Grand Ballroom Hall of the Sofitel Ambassador Seoul Hotel & Serviced Residences in Songpa-gu, Seoul at 2 PM on the 10th, Yezi said, “Since it is my first solo album, the company recommended that I participate in the production.”

She mentioned her first solo song ‘Crown On My Head (Yezi)’ (Yezi)’ (Yezi) included in ITZY’s album ‘BORN TO BE’ (Born to Be) last year, “That was the first time I participated in writing lyrics and composing.”She said, “Since this is my first proper solo album, I was grateful that she told me to put meaning into the title song and write lyrics, so I participated with a grateful heart.”

Yezi said, “I wanted to show the flow of air from my first debut with my own aura. There are lyrics that say, ‘Takes my breath away’, and I thought about when my breath was the most taken away. I wanted to write about overwhelming emotions with this message and capture the ‘attraction’ that I get when I‘m into something,“ she said. ”Participating in the title track was a new challenge. I wanted to show who I am, but also feel ITZY’s powerful and refreshing feeling, and I met ‘AIR’ as if it were fate,“ she expressed her satisfaction.

What were the reactions of PD Park Jin-young and the ITZY members? Yezi said, ”The PD took a lot of care and directed each song,“ and ”I prepared hard with a lot of pressure, but the PD said, ‘I wish you would put more importance on making people know you as a person than on the results.’ He said, “It‘s meaningful to just show my potential as solo Yezi, rather than ITZY Yezi,” so I was able to let go of the pressure. The ITZY members were also happy. “I received a lot of support and it gave me a lot of strength,” she said, expressing her gratitude.

The title song ‘Air’ of Yezi’s album, the first solo from ITZY, is a synth-pop genre song with a strong bass sound and addictive hook. Yezi herself participated in writing the lyrics, and JYP‘s representative producer Park Jin-young (JY Park) also listed his name on the credits.

Yezi’s solo debut album ‘AIR’ and the title song of the same name will be available on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 10th.
