i-dle's WOOGI is making a comeback as a solo singer. WOOGI will release her 2nd mini album, 'Twenty-Seven (27),' on October 8. This is her solo comeback about 1 year and 1 month after the single 'Motivation,' released last September, and it is drawing fans' expectations. In the artwork released earlier, the number '27,' WOOGI's age, engraved on nail tips stands out. In addition, an English sentence was attached saying, 'Age 27 is a period when, like a sunflower growing with its back to its own shadow and looking only at the sun, one hides the deepest worries behind the brightest smile,' heightening anticipation for the new album. The intro film released next showed WOOGI's appearance, which contrasted with cinematic visuals and caught the eye. Following WOOGI looking at her reflection in water, she in a monochrome screen showed a more mature appearance in the rain. After that, when WOOGI, who had been staring at her own image projected on the water, embraced herself, the WOOGI on the monochrome screen also overcame worries and fears surrounding herself and showed a bright smile. WOOGI's 2nd mini album, 'Twenty-Seven (27),' will be released on October 8 at 1 p.m. (Korean time).
