ITZY Yeji “I overcame mannerism while preparing for solo album, I got greedy”

ITZY Yeji revealed that she overcame mannerism through her solo album.

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, Yeji confessed, “I experienced a bit of mannerism before the solo album. I was thinking about how I could overcome it when I heard the news of my solo album.”

She said, “I thought I had to take responsibility for the solo album myself, so I prepared for it a bit more carefully. The album was such a new opportunity and challenge. I was able to overcome [my mannerism] because I realized that I love this work more than I thought. I‘m glad I got this heart back, and I feel greedy to do better in the future,“ she confessed.

The title song ‘Air’ of ITZY’s first solo album, Yezi, is a synth-pop genre song that stands out with its 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.
