i-dle’s Yuqi has a solo single album scheduled for later this month and has kicked off promotions early with pre-release track Gone. Much of Yuqi’s music has passed me by, but I absolutely loved 2021’s Bonnie & Clyde and her track Fly To The Youth (written for agency juniors NOWZ) was an early summer highlight.

I wouldn’t expect member solos to uphold the spacey, celestial sound of WJSN’s full group work and Body definitely takes a different approach. Like many K-pop idols, Dayoung’s opted for a fully English language track to appeal to as global an audience as possible. This always muddies the waters a bit for…
