Jang Hye-ri drops new single 'Anajuseyo,' co-written by the 'Bass Goddess' herself

Jang Hye-ri (장혜리) dropped her new single Anajuseyo ("Please Hold Me") on June 16, 2026, adding a co-writing credit to a release that already has a lot going on.

The track is dance trot — trot melody fused with an EDM-refined beat — and Jang wrote the lyrics herself, giving the song a direct emotional hook built around the chorus line "날 좀 안아주세요, 더 세게 안아주세요" ("Please hold me, hold me tighter"). Production was handled by Go Byeong-sik (고병식), whose credits include albums and OSTs for god's Kim Tae-woo, Yang Ji-eun, Ali, Sohyang, Jo Hang-jo, Kim Da-hyun, and Hwang Ga-ram. The single also comes with point choreography designed to be easy for audiences to follow along.

Jang started her trot career with the 2020 single Seobangnim and has since released OSTs for the dramas Yeoreum-a Butakhae and Taeyang-ui Gyejeol. She picked up the nickname "Bass Goddess" (베이스 여신) after appearing on TV Chosun's Miss Trot 4, where she played bass guitar live while singing — a combination that got attention. She also holds the separate nickname "Latin Goddess" (라틴 여신) for her dance sports background. (Two distinct goddess titles is a flex, honestly.)

One outlet notes she originally debuted with girl group Girls' Day in 2010, leaving the same year, before building a solo career across MC work, modeling, and eventually trot.
