Minnie’s 1st Mini Album [HER]

“You think you know me?”
“I’m HER.”

Minnie’s first story, filled with colorful hues, [HER]

Minnie, the main vocalist of (G)I-DLE, takes her first step as a solo artist. Having already proven her potential as a solo artist through her participation in numerous drama soundtracks and collaborations with domestic and international artists, Minnie’s solo debut has generated significant anticipation even before its release.

Minnie’s solo album [HER], finally unveiled seven years after her debut, carries the confident message, “I am my own muse.” It offers a glimpse into Minnie’s musicality and new charm as a solo artist, distinct from her role in (G)I-DLE.

Minnie personally participated in the lyrics and composition of all seven tracks on the album, enhancing its overall quality. Additionally, features by Woo Gi ((G)I-DLE) and TEN of WayV on the tracks add to the listening experience, further enhancing the album’s value as a whole. In addition to Minnie’s dreamy and captivating pre-release track “Blind Eyes Red,” the title track “HER,” co-written by BIG Naughty (Seo Dong-hyun) and Minnie, and other tracks of various genres showcase Minnie’s matured musical spectrum.

“You think you know me?”
“I’m HER.”

This pop track showcases Minnie’s vibrant diversity, featuring a minimalist arrangement centered around a bass riff and a funky topline. The lyrics, which convey the realization that the nightmares I dream are the same as my reality and the desire to overcome them, aim to reveal Minnie’s honest inner thoughts by placing a question mark at the end of various images of “Minnie,” such as Minnie as an artist on stage and Minnie as seen by the public. Additionally, BIG Naughty (Seo Dong-hyun) co-wrote the lyrics, adding to the track’s buzz.
