"My dream is to become a singer that I can trust and listen to without limits, and a solo artist that I can trust in concerts."

Singer CHUUU is back with a full full full-length album featuring the potential of a female singer in her 10th year of debut.

On the morning of the 7th, Chu held a round interview at a cafe in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul to commemorate the release of her first full-length album "XO, My Cyberlove."

"XO, My Cyber Love" is a more delicate scene that captures "change of relationship" in an era where reality and virtuality overlap. The modern love story, which interprets the form of love through digital signals as Chu's own existential vocals and emotions, is impressive.

The title song of the same name is a dreamy track with texture in the 1980s, metaphorically depicting the waves of emotions that occur between humans and AI through a relationship that continues in a virtual chat window.

On this day, Chu said, "It's my first time releasing a full-length album, so I'm nervous and excited because it's a moment I've been waiting for." I haven't seen many full-length albums these days, but I thought that someday I would like to fill my various voices and genres with full-length albums and release them with confidence when I can show my colors at once. I think this is the time when I worked the hardest to release a full-length album. I'm looking forward to the album because I think it will be an album that shows me a little more growth," he said.

As Chu says, few singers release regular albums in the K-pop market recently. Artists prepare and release more than 10 tracks with all their heart and soul, but listeners listen only to title songs due to the rapidly changing trend. As a result, regular albums are decreasing, and only mini albums or digital singles are released.

Then, what made Chu feel confident that she would release a full-length album at this time of year. He said, "Rather than my skills being perfectly prepared, I've been taking lessons steadily during my activities. What I felt while doing that became clear was the direction I could do well and show. I thought it was a good time to tell my story in the sense of a starting point because I wanted to tell my story that became clearer starting with this full-length album, not the end here."

Cyberlove is a culture that was popular in the 1990s. Chuu was born in 1999. Although she is not familiar with "Cyberlove," Chuu said, "There are various ways to exchange emotions such as touch, conversation, eye contact, and hugs, but these days, people express their emotions through emoticons, images, videos, etc. I wanted to make this era the background of the album," he said.

When asked if there were any burdens or difficulties in preparing for the full-length album, Chu said, "I heard that what I heard recently keeps lowering myself. I was the most confident in my voice, but I was worried about 'Am I going to undermine my self-esteem?' and 'Am I going to be able to cross the threshold of people's minds?' To solve this problem, I tried not to miss lessons and training as well as acting activities. I also focused on not just one song, but on adding more empathy to each song's different story and wanting those stories to continue," he replied.

Chuu made her pre-debut with the release of the project single "Chuu" in 2017 and made her official debut as a member of girl group Loona in August of the following year. Chu, who celebrated his 10th year this year, is already about to mark his 10th anniversary next year.

"I feel so unfamiliar that the word "10th year" doesn't come close to me," Chu said, "That's how much I enjoy this job and singing, and every moment of performance was precious every single day. I think I did my best as a singer to the point where I thought, "If I couldn't sing, how would I have lived?" but it felt short, so the number was overshadowed. "I can't come up with the word that it's been 10 years," he said honestly.

In addition, Chu said, "I want to be a female solo who continues to increase steadily and without limitations, regardless of the years of her career. There are many seniors, but they are also well influenced by them. I want to continue to grow as a singer who challenges and writes what I want to tell with the driving force and motivation to work harder. "My dream is to become a singer who can sing a good song that can be filled with songs one day, a singer who I trust and listen to, and a solo singer who I trust in concerts," he said.

"I want you to be curious about what I want to tell you. My goal and dream is to become a singer who makes listeners want to trust me, listen to me, and find my own voice and melody when I make my own song. "My goal is to make the album consistently in my own style, thinking that the title of Chuu's pop and Chuu's will become my clothes someday."

Chew deserves to be called an "all-round entertainer." This is because he is expanding his spectrum as an artist by challenging himself not only as a singer, but also acting, and going back and forth between YouTube and TV entertainment. In addition, Chu provides healing to viewers with a smile that does not lose its smile every minute or second.

Such Chuu surprised the public with a straight face that had not been seen anywhere since her debut. In April last year, Chu appeared on the "Ttakdae" content of the YouTube channel "Badenus" and made an expressionless face toward the other person making ridiculous jokes while talking with Moon Sang-hoon. Originally, the concept of "Tttakdae" was a content that scratched each other, so Chu's serious face was a natural step, but it became a hot topic through various online communities because it was a facial expression that was not usually seen from Chu.

Chuu was also surprised. "I never imagined that a serious face would become a topic," Chu said, "I thought, 'Did I ever get so serious somewhere?' My friends said, "You look pretty with a straight face." You look angry, but it's spicy and pretty. He said, "It's okay because you're serious." It was unbelievable and amazing that it became such a hot topic that my friends said this. Why this part?" he wondered.

Chu then said, "I thought it would be okay to use a serious face on stage," and "Is there a lot that I haven't shown yet?" It came to me positively and positively because it would be good if the stage became a hot topic. I thought, "I have something to use with a straight face," he said, rejoicing.

Chu's first full-length album "XO, My Cyberlove" was released on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 7th.
