Former GFRIEND Yuju has returned with warm yet bittersweet sincerity. Yuju released her 3rd mini-album "In Bloom" on the 12th at 6 PM through various music distribution sites. This is her new album presented for the first time in about 2 years and 5 months since her 2nd mini-album "O," and it is the first album released after her agency transfer. The title track "REPLY" is a song she wrote herself, conveying a heartfelt message that may or may not reach the recipient. The idea came from the thought, "If I could write and send just one line of text in a letter to someone important, what would I want to write?" Instead of ordinary conversations like "Are you doing well?" or "I miss you," she chose delicate words like "Don't forget, forever," "The two shining eyes," and "The wishes that were whispered will ultimately be fulfilled by you," singing with her unique sensibility. Furthermore, even in a situation where the letter may not arrive, she expresses, "The words I couldn't say gather on the remaining pen, conveying my heart so that it vividly reaches you," and "Gathering the stories I couldn't share, sending them to you so that you won't forget, this is my heart, for you," expressing warm and bittersweet emotions. The 3rd mini-album "In Bloom" depicts daily fatigue and a multitude of passing emotions in Yuju's unique color, including 6 tracks such as "REPLY," "Orion," "The Events of That Day (Feat. Jung Se-woon)," "moonstruck love," "No Matter (Feat. GEMINI)," and "Like the Sunset Covered by Clouds."
