Group i-dle member SOYEON touched fans deeply by releasing an intro film for her first solo full album that chronicles her life story from infancy to the present.
On the 26th at midnight, her agency Cube Entertainment released the intro film for SOYEON's 1st full album "What a Wonderful Life" through the official social media channels of i-dle. The video added special meaning as it was unveiled on SOYEON's birthday.
The intro film began with SOYEON, who is celebrating her last birthday in her 20s, looking back on her life so far and saying, "I guess you could say it was awesome." It then unfolded SOYEON's timeline step by step, from her newborn days right after birth, her first birthday party, her trainee days, her appearance on Mnet's "Produce 101", her debut and producing with i-dle, up to the present as she prepares for her first solo full album. Notably, short phrases such as "I always wanted to be new" and "I wanted to do better" flashed throughout the video, revealing her mindset of constantly growing and challenging herself with new music.
Regarding her first solo full album, SOYEON shared, "I think I actually put it off for quite a long time. One thing I can tell you is that when I grow old as a grandmother and look back on this album, I'll probably think, 'Ah, it was truly romantic.' Please look forward a lot to 'What a Wonderful Life'."
Fans' responses are explosive to the video, which captures her entire life from the moment she was born to her debut and the present.
One fan wrote in the comments, "I think Neverland (fandom name) was able to experience so much diverse music because unnie made the music she wanted to make without caring about other people's gazes." Another fan reacted, "I was about to tear up, but then I burst out laughing." In addition, messages of celebration and support poured in, such as "You really worked hard. Let's soar, SOYEON," "Happy last birthday in your 20s, and I hope only happy things fill your future," and "No matter what anyone says, SOYEON is an awesome person."
Previously, SOYEON fired the starting signal for her comeback by first revealing performances of two new songs at the "Waterbomb Sokcho 2026" stage: "STAR", which left an impression with its intense EDM sound and straightforward lyrics, and "I Hate Vegetables Song" (literal translation), which stands out with its cute and highly addictive melody.
SOYEON's first solo full album "What a Wonderful Life" will be released on various online music sites at 6 PM on September 7.
