IZ*ONE's Che Ye-na has transformed into a "morning angel" for young people. Che Ye-na held a showcase to commemorate the release of the 3rd mini album "GOOD MORNING" at YES24 Hall in Kwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 15th, and talked about the new album. Since the release of the 2nd single "HATE XX" in June last year, she announced her comeback after 7 months. "GOOD MORNING" is an album that evokes a lively morning greeting, and it contains a variety of genres of music from her bright energy to autobiographical stories. She participated in the lyrics and composition of the title track "Good Morning" and the song "Ugly Duckling". She said, "I made an album that honestly incorporates my autobiographical story without decorating it. I tried to convey a message of hope and comfort to those who listen to the album. I added the fun of listening to music of various genres. I think it will give you energy when you listen to it when you go to work or exercise in the morning." She said, "I put a lot of my story into 'Ugly Duckling'. When I conceived this song, it was a song full of love with no theme, melody, or place out of my reach. I want to make it with the feeling of wanting to comfort and sympathize with the fairy tale of 'Ugly Duckling' that I saw deeply and the feeling of wanting to comfort. It contains a message and support that I want to convey to new working people of the same age as me." The title track "Good Morning" is an energetic song with Che Ye-na's powerful and refreshing vocals, conveying a message of hope that people who listen to it will have a good morning. She said, "The hopeful lyrics that 'after a dark night, morning will surely come' stand out," and "I put a lot of effort into the expression and interpretation of the song because it is a new genre to challenge. I was more careful because I wanted the energy felt from the music to harmonize well with my voice and feel like a new genre. I prepared it with the feeling that I wanted everyone to sympathize with." Che Ye-na said, "I think I should have been more careful in the work of the song. I thought that I should engrave many opinions in my heart and be more careful about everything." She said, "If you support my future activities and wait, I will be able to become a better artist." She said, "Time really flies. It's already the 2nd anniversary of my debut, but I'm sorry that I couldn't meet many fans. I want to become an artist who gives good luck and influence to fans through more diverse activities and good albums." Finally, she said, "The most disappointing thing during the previous activities was that I couldn't meet the fans much, so I was immersed in the work of the album. I want to show you a good stage with this album and spend time in sync with the fans." ・IZ*ONE's Che Ye-na, title track "GOOD MORNING" MV released... transformed into a morning angel ・YENA, "I like a lot of things in Japan!"
