Yeerin drops fourth mini album 'REACH YOU' with title track '조각별'

Yeerin released her fourth mini album REACH YOU on June 9, the same day she held a press showcase at Rolling Hall in Hongdae, Seoul.

The five-track album dropped at 6 PM. Tracks: 조각별, Polaris, 춘곤, Orbit, and 조각별 (Inst.). Title track 조각별, produced by PATEKO, builds around guitar sound and an expansive arrangement. Its central message: "Be my dream." The song depicts the moment of recalling a dream under the night sky in the middle of a fast-moving daily life. The album's overall concept traces a new journey that begins from the moment of waking from a dream.

REACH YOU is the first mini album Yeerin has put out since signing with A-SIDE COMPANY last year. Her solo run started in May 2022 with debut mini album ARIA, following six years as a member of GFriend (2015–2021).

At the showcase she was direct about where she started: "I was actually someone who didn't have dreams of solo performances. Through releasing albums one by one, I went through a process of finding myself." On the vocal approach, she said she cut back on techniques like vibrato and focused entirely on the lyrics. She also paid for a ChatGPT subscription to draw out her own sensitivity while analyzing the songs.

Her acquaintances apparently noticed. They told her after hearing the highlight medley that her singing had improved a lot. She said it proudly.

What she wants listeners to take away is simple: "I hope you recognize that Yeerin is a singer who is very good at live performances."
