Soyou preps third EP 'Off Hours' with title track 'Girl' as she shares France travel photos

Soyou (강지현, 34) is coming back with her third EP Off Hours. The title track is 'Girl', and Magic Strawberry Sound has already released a music video teaser.

The SISTAR lead vocalist debuted in 2010 on the group's first single album Push Push with Hyorin, Bora, and Dasom. Her solo track '썸 (Feat. 릴보이 Of 긱스)' topped Melon's annual chart with 220 million streams and 6.3 million unique listeners. Those numbers established her as one of the more durable solo acts to emerge from a second-generation girl group.

Since then her solo work has grown to include 'Officially Missing You, Too', '착해 빠졌어 (Stupid In Love)', '어깨', '비가와 (Rain)', and 'I Miss You'. She released two full-length albums: RE:BORN and RE:FRESH (PART.2). The single '까만밤' gave her first solo music-broadcast win.

Her two most recent mini-albums moved in new directions. Day & Night had 'Business (Feat. BE'O)' and '썸 2', plus '나무', a track she co-wrote and co-composed. Summer Recipe brought her back together with SISTAR member Bora on the title track 'ALOHA (Feat. 보라)'.

Teasing for Off Hours started in early April with lifestyle content. On July 5, Soyou posted photos from France with a French flag emoji. Just travel snapshots, but they landed while the EP rollout was still rolling.
