HYOJUNG of the group OH MY GIRL offers warm comfort and courage to those who are going through a time of incompleteness. Through a message that it is okay to move forward at one's own pace rather than seeking a predetermined answer, she has stood at a new starting line as a solo artist.

HYOJUNG releases her first mini-album, "Lost & Found," at 6 p.m. on the 15th. This album contains a story that looks back on the path HYOJUNG has walked so far while taking another step toward an incomplete tomorrow.

In particular, as HYOJUNG participated in writing and composing all tracks, expressing her emotions and thoughts through music, one can glimpse her color as a solo artist.

The title track, "Maybe It's Incomplete," is the song that most clearly reveals the message the album aims to convey. It sings of the courage to trust one's intuition and move forward just as one is now, rather than conforming to others' gazes or predetermined answers.

When I suddenly found myself at a dead end

I know I couldn't even take two steps

Anxious that I might lose so much

I have been standing here all winter

The wind pouring down

The rain blocking my way

In the end, it is just a passing shower

If you let me see myself

And help me find my way

It's okay if I lose the path

I will simply become who I am

I will try to do so

If you let me know myself

So that the footprints I leave are not in vain

Even if I can't see the end, I want to go

It is just a rough journey

Because as much as I have wandered, it will be my land

The lyrics dwell in the anxiety of being unable to take even two steps before a dead end and fearing that something might be lost. While one may waver under the words of those around them when facing numerous choices, the hesitation and anxiety that anyone might experience at least once make the song's message more realistic. However, by stating that the pouring wind and rain are ultimately just a passing shower, it reveals the determination not to stop the journey of finding oneself even if one loses the way.

In particular, the lyric "Because as much as I have wandered, it will be my land" condenses the message conveyed by the song. It places meaning in the process of directly colliding and wandering to create one's own path, rather than following a completed road, offering HYOJUNG-style comfort and courage.

Additionally, HYOJUNG's uniquely refreshing vocals and delicate expressiveness gently wrap these messages. While ensuring that the anxiety, determination, regret, and hope captured in the song do not sink too heavily, it follows the emotional line of the lyrics. It calmly conveys the heart going through a time of incompleteness, naturally allowing those living life at their own pace to empathize emotionally.

The music video released alongside it sensually depicts the journey of finding one's own path. From a look as if contemplating the next destination while examining a map, to standing confidently holding a megaphone, HYOJUNG portrayed a character who, even before an unfamiliar journey, does not hesitate but directly collides and creates her own path.

This album includes a total of six tracks, including the title track "Maybe It's Incomplete," "It Might Be Better to Have Wounds Than Regret," and "8(if)," as well as instrumental versions of each song.

Through her first solo mini-album, HYOJUNG conveys a message that it is okay to move forward at one's own pace to those going through a time of incompleteness. Expectations are building for what kind of music and stories HYOJUNG, who has taken her first step as a solo artist, will unfold to showcase her unique color in the future.

Meanwhile, HYOJUNG will meet fans by holding the small-scale concert "HYOJUNG 1st LIVE 'Lost & Found'" at Seoul on the 17th and 18th, and in Tokyo, Japan, on November 1.
