Singer Kwon Eun-bi shared her honest thoughts on the title of "Summer Queen" and the new image she wishes to showcase in the future.

Recently, Kwon Eun-bi held an interview at a café in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, to commemorate the release of her new digital single "DEJAVU."

On this occasion, Kwon Eun-bi explained that the new song fits well with the current season. She said, "The comeback timing came later than I had planned," adding, "This song feels more suited to sunset than a summer day, so it seems to align well with the present season."

She has established herself as the "Summer Queen" by performing at various festivals such as Waterbomb. While this title was earned through her powerful presence, it also brought her many concerns.

Kwon Eun-bi stated, "It's good to receive a title like that. However, I wanted to show diverse sides rather than being confined to that image. Shouldn't I be able to show even more? It seems that what people saw of me was greater than my music until now. In the future, I want to showcase my music more. I'm not saying I'll give up this title; I intend to keep it while also presenting new aspects."

She continued, "Even when I was active with IZ*ONE or as a solo artist, the charismatic image I presented was similar, so perhaps that's why my image became fixed. But there is still much I want to do." She emphasized, "I believe being confident, natural, and harmonizing with the audience are unique charms of Kwon Eun-bi."

She added, "While I sometimes think I should release a summer album because of this title, I feel my own desires are stronger. It is truly an honor to have such a title attached to me. Since people perceive music differently, I want to show diverse sides."

Furthermore, she candidly shared her inner thoughts: "When I see fans asking, 'Why isn't there a summer album?', 'Why isn't she appearing at Waterbomb?', or 'Why isn't she active?', I feel grateful for their expectations, yet sometimes my heart feels heavy."

So, what new title does she hope to gain through this activity? Surprisingly, Kwon Eun-bi pointed to her vocal strength. She expressed, "I want to hear people say, 'Her voice is better than expected.' I hope titles like 'Honey Voice' or those related to her tone and voice will emerge."
