Singer Kwon Eun-bi shared her honest thoughts on the title of "Summer Queen" and the new image she hopes 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, "My comeback was delayed compared to my plans," adding, "This song suits a sunset more than a summer day, so it seems to fit the current season well."

She has established herself as the "Summer Queen" by performing at various festivals such as Waterbomb. While this title reflects her strong presence, she also expressed concerns about being confined to that image.

Kwon Eun-bi stated, "It's good to earn titles, but I want to show diverse sides rather than be trapped in one image. Shouldn't I be able to show more? It seems like what people saw of me was more visual than musical until now. In the future, I want to showcase my music more. I'm not saying I'll give up these titles; I want to keep them while presenting even newer sides."

She continued, "Even when I was active with IZ*ONE or as a solo artist, the charismatic and visual aspects were similar, so my image may have become fixed. However, there is still much I want to do." She emphasized, "I believe my charm lies in being confident, natural, and connecting with the audience."

She added, "While I sometimes think about releasing a summer album based on these titles, I feel that what I truly want to do is stronger. It's an honor to have such titles attached to me. Since people perceive music differently, I want to show diverse sides."

Furthermore, she candidly shared her feelings: "When fans ask, 'Why isn't there a summer album?' or 'Why isn't she appearing at Waterbomb?' or 'Why isn't she active?', it makes me grateful for their expectations, but also sometimes feels heavy-hearted."

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 tone and vocals will emerge."
