BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) Jungkook is praising rookie singer-songwriter Noi, gathering attention. Jungkook recently posted on his Instagram story, 'You can chase two hares. This is it for May. What is this voice? What is this sensibility? What is this pronunciation? Who are you?' recommending Noi's new song. After this post, Noi ranked first in the real-time search words on the Korean music distribution platform MelOn, quickly rising as a new star attracting attention. Fans have reacted, saying, 'It's rare for Jungkook to openly praise someone to this extent,' further increasing interest. The song Jungkook introduced is Noi's new song 'Typical', which is her first original song where she participated in the lyrics. Based on punk rock sound, it expresses emotions different from ordinary love, and was released in both Korean and Japanese versions, aiming for a global fan base. Noi, born in 2003, made her name known through the remake song 'Aishou no Ko no Koi' in January this year. This song reinterpreted the original by singer Yangpa in a J-POP rock style, gathering attention, and the music video ranked in YouTube's trending charts and recorded high positions in Bugs' J-POP charts, proving her potential. Following that, she released her debut album 'Inspiration' in April, starting her full-fledged music activities. Through various tracks including the title song 'Atarimae Janai', she delicately depicts emotions from the beginning of love to familiar feelings, building her unique musical world. Especially with Jungkook's mention this time, reactions from overseas fans are also enthusiastic. Evaluations such as 'Both her singing voice and sensibility are wonderful' and 'The album's completeness is high' are increasing, expanding to global interest. The attention sparked by Jungkook's words may lead to the rise of the rookie artist, and all eyes are on Noi's future movements.
