The upcoming mini-album arrives a year and three months after Yuju released her solo debut project ‘Rec.’ in January 2022. That record was led by the title track ‘Play’ and was accompanied by several B-sides, including the track ‘Cold Winter’ featuring rapper Mad Clown.
In an interview with NME following its release, Yuju shared that her goal for future projects is to “move forward with the same mindset and spirit that I have had from the start.”
Prior to her debut as a soloist, the 25-year-old idol was a member of six-member girl group GFRIEND, best known for hits like ‘Me Gustas Tu’, ‘Time For The Moon Night’ and ‘Mago’. All six members left longtime agency Source Music in 2021 upon the expiration of their contracts, thus disbanding the group.
Yuju later signed with KONNECT Entertainment, headed by former Wanna One member and soloist Kang Daniel, under which she continues to pursue her solo music career.
