The member of the group I-DLE, SOYEON, fully launches into solo activities with her first solo studio album.
Parallel to the launch of album pre-orders, SOYEON revealed the direction of her solo moves through various version configurations and a preview performance.
Her agency CUBE ENTERTAINMENT began pre-orders for SOYEON‘s first studio album, “끝내주는인생”, this August 26 at noon KST via CUBE and online album sales sites. This album will be released in four versions, each featuring a different concept and packaging.
The Temple version integrates an incense burner tailored to the concept, targeting both practicality and collection value. The Maison version includes an 80-page hardcover photobook as well as a broccoli-shaped bookmark, allowing fans to approach the concept of SOYEON‘s first studio album from multiple angles, just through the packaging.
In addition to the disclosure of packaging information, SOYEON also accelerated the pace of content pre-releases. Unveiling on the same day the introductory video for “끝내주는인생” tracing the timeline of her life, she immediately shows the guiding thread of the album and officially launches the promotions for her first solo studio album.
She also presented her new songs in advance on stage. On the 22nd, during Waterbomb Sokcho 2026, SOYEON presented on stage for the first time the new songs “Star” and “야채 싫어 송” with contrasting atmospheres, thus introducing tracks from her solo album on site. These two songs with different vibes raised interest regarding the colors of this new studio album.
The release schedule for the first studio album was also confirmed. SOYEON‘s first solo studio album, “끝내주는인생”, will be released on next September 7 at 6 p.m. KST on various music platforms. In addition to digital tracks, the four versions of the physical album will be delivered sequentially to fans.
Furthermore, the group I-DLE (Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, Shuhua), to which SOYEON belongs, also pursues its global activity schedule. I-DLE will hold on the 29th and 30th of this month the concert “2026 i-dle WORLD TOUR [Syncopation] IN MACAU” at the Galaxy Arena in Macao, preparing the last stage of its world tour that has been ongoing since February of this year.
