OH MY GIRL‘s Yooa recently made her solo debut with the album Bon Voyage on the 7th of September, the first out of the group since their debut 5 years ago.
At her debut showcase this morning, Yooa first performed her song for an audience, and also shared her goals for herself as an individual artist.
Yooa expressed that she was so nervous the night before, that she was unable to fall asleep. It was revealed that it took her a lot of courage to come out as a solo singer, as when the company first suggested it to her, she rejected it.
The members also gave her lots of encouragement and sent her positive messages, allowing her to find her passion for the stage and take up the courage.
Bon Voyage to her means her first travel, as she tried to encapsulate the feeling of leaving on a journey, in terms of both song, choreography and the cinematics for the music video. She shared that the largest difference between her solo song and OH MY GIRL’s music is that she was able to show more of her individualism here naturally, and take a larger role in helping to produce and plan the album.
Yooa hopes to do well enough so as not to give harm to the team she is in. Her goals for herself are also idealistic, as she wants to become a “sagi-kae“, the Korean term for someone who is so perfect in every aspect, they are basically like a fraud – a golden girl.
Yooa aims to show more sides to her than simply just the main dancer of OH MY GIRL, and she hopes that Bon Voyage will be the first step to letting people see more of her. Bon Voyage drops as a whole album on music sites today, 7th of September 2020, from 6pm KST. Listen to the highlight medley below!
