Jeon Soyeon releases her first full solo album
i-dle leader and producer Jeon Soyeon will release her first full-length solo album, What a Wonderful Life, at 6 p.m. KST. Korean sources also render the Korean title 끝내주는 인생 as An Awesome Life, but the promotional English wording widely used for the project is What a Wonderful Life.
The album arrives five years and two months after Soyeon’s first solo mini album, Windy, released in July 2021. Its title track is “I’m gonna TOESA,” featuring narration by Korean entertainer Kian84. The Korean word “toesa” means leaving or resigning from a company, giving the song a playful workplace theme.
Soyeon’s release stands out among the September 7 K-pop comebacks because it is her first complete solo studio album and a project centered on her own writing and production identity.

The eight-track mini album includes “Not Enough,” “Noise,” “Ride or Die,” “Death of Me,” “Twilight,” “Immature,” “Overflow” and “Going Home.” EVAN has described the project as a record that draws from alternative rock, R&B and pop-punk while reflecting his desire to develop a more personal solo identity.

The cheerful traveling-cheer-squad imagery used in the rollout contrasts with the urgent title “Don’t Panic!” and gives the comeback a clear visual identity. VERIVERY is also scheduled to hold concerts at Seoul’s KBS Arena on October 3 and 4, extending the album cycle into live promotions.
