Weekend Roundup: Yein, imzoo, YOON MIN, and JINSIL



Yein - 1st mini album "Room"

Yein of the group Lovlyz has released her first solo mini album "Room" on November 22. This album is a deeply personal space where intimate stories blossom from her quietest and deepest recesses. Within this small room, imbued with the transparent heart of her childhood, she carefully holds the fragile emotions she first began to whisper to the world. Through this EP, Yein invites listeners on a gentle journey to explore the most authentic and vulnerable corners of her artistic identity.

imzoo - "
MISSING: 19" EP

Indie artist imzoo released her EP album "MISSING: 19" on November 22. A reflection of life before entering her twenties, and looking forward to what the new decade of her life will bring. 

There were days when I hid behind youth, feigning bravery and abandoning my body and heart. Other days, I fretted over the fleeting passage of time, feeling impatient. Some nights, I let go of all my guilt over a shallow love, and others, recalling a love that felt like it would never return, I poured out countless lyrics without hesitation. I loved how, after adding pitch to sentences too embarrassing to even speak, they became quite pleasant to listen to. Having passed through my teenage years, never a single day of silence, and now, standing on the brink of twenty—this album is a deeply personal record of my nineteenth year, a time that felt lost, passing too quickly.

YOON MIN - "hangertape" 

YOON MIN released his first mini album "hangertape" on November 23. YOON MIN proves he's in league of his own with his first EP, "hangertape." The title, playing on the Korean idiom for someone unique, perfectly sets the stage for this collection of five genre-bending tracks. From the tense love triangle in "doggy" (feat. HarryJune of DKB) to the late-night vibes of "night owl" (feat. sokodomo), YOON MIN explores the complexities of modern relationships with sharp production and raw lyricism.

JINSIL - "noecho (feat. Tiger JK) 

JINSIL returns with the new single "noecho (feat. Tiger JK)" on November 23. Her first single since 2019. With her trademark unique raspy vocals JINSIL expresses loss, longing, and a struggle with emotional pain after a separation. The lyrics describe a feeling of falling and being lost in an "empty space" after someone has gone forever. The world feels colder, and moments slip away. There's a strong desire to "let go" but also a wish to "see the pain in their heart for now" suggesting a struggle to move on and a lingering attachment to the past.
