Minnie of (G)I-DLE Unveils Her Honest Self in Debut Solo Album‌ ‘HER’

Seven years after ‍her debut with the⁣ chart-topping K-pop group (G)I-DLE, Minnie has finally stepped into ⁢the spotlight ⁣with her first solo ‍album, HER. Released on January 21, 2025, the mini-album is a ​deeply personal project that showcases Minnie’s multifaceted ⁣artistry adn her journey of self-discovery.‌

“As this is my first solo album, ​I became the muse and tried‌ to create‍ my own work.​ It contained my honest ‌side,” Minnie shared in an interview. The album, ‌which features seven self-composed tracks, ⁢including the pre-released single ⁢ Blind Eyes Red and the ​title track Her, is a testament to her growth as an artist. ⁢

Minnie,​ known for her dreamy vocals and captivating stage presence, revealed‍ that this solo endeavor allowed her to explore new creative dimensions. “During group activities, I had⁣ a role to play. I usually did the introductory part, drawing attention and presenting a dreamy atmosphere. But this time, since ⁤it is a solo song,⁣ I have to‍ fill it with only ‍my voice ⁤from beginning to end,” she explained.‌

The title track Her is a pop⁤ anthem that delves into the duality of Minnie’s identity. ⁣The song​ reflects on the realization that nightmares ⁣can mirror reality and the courage it⁤ takes to confront them. “I think everyone‌ has had a nightmare come true at least once. there are times when I get hurt by someone in my⁣ dreams, and sometimes it becomes reality. I wanted to talk about that side,” Minnie said.

she also opened up ‍about the pressure of ‌perfection in the public eye. “On stage,when the public looks at me,I look gorgeous​ and perfect. It may seem ⁢like it, but I actually have scars and imperfect sides. I created⁣ my solo album thinking about what⁤ I would look like from a third party’s⁢ outlook. I⁣ think its ‘her,’” she ‌added.

The album’s tracklist, revealed earlier this month, includes a mix of genres that highlight Minnie’s versatility. From the emotional depth of ⁢ Blind Eyes Red to the vivid storytelling of her, each song offers a ⁢glimpse into her artistic vision.
