Description

SOOJIN 1st EP 'AGASSY'

On November 8, SOOJIN released her first EP, "AGASSY" marking a new beginning.

As this is her first album as a solo artist, she focused on capturing her unique charm and strengths. It's a colorful mix of images that best represent her as an artist: seductive but clean, charismatic and mysterious.

The title track of the album, "AGASSY" is a charming song with a strange feeling of passing between the past and present through oriental-sounding instruments. In addition, the lyrics poetically expressing a beautiful scene of a woman dancing mysteriously among red flowers and SOOJIN's performance featuring fine dance lines harmoniously combine to further enhance the song's completeness.

In addition, a total of six tracks of various genres, including "FLOWERING" "Sunflower," "TyTy," "SUNSET," and "bloodredroses," were included in the album, making it a fun album to watch and listen to, not only because of SOOJIN's outstanding dance skills, but also because of her clear voice and delicate emotional expression.

As SOOJIN has always been highly talked about for her overwhelming stage presence, this album will further solidify her presence as a solo musician.
