Description (Translated):
What if you're a 'geek'? Lovely 'FREAK'Yuqi’s first mini album [YUQ1]
Yuqi, a member of music powerhouse (G)I-DLE, who achieved 4 consecutive 'PAK' (Perfect All Kills) on major domestic music charts with her 2nd full-length album [2] released in January, is releasing her first solo album that clearly shows her own unique style. [YUQ1] is released. Yuqi, who previously proved his endless growth potential through the digital single [A Page], has built a diverse musical career, receiving love calls from many top artists at home and abroad with his attractive voice.
Yuqi's first mini album [YUQ1] contains 'Yuqi' itself, as can be seen in the album name. This album, which captures Yuqi's free-spirited yet delicate artistry, visually expressed the strong confidence in her first album by expressing the letter 'I' in Yuqi's name with the number '1'.
The title song 'FREAK' is a song full of Yugi's lively energy and presents something special in the repetitive boring daily life. In particular, he sings about the unique charm of 'FREAK' with honest lyrics such as 'She's a Certified Freak' and 'I'm a Certified Freak', and reveals that the person he has been singing about is actually 'Wooqi' himself. This song, full of Yuqi's confidence in acknowledging differences from others and confidently expressing them with his own individuality, gives the listener a refreshing sense of liberation.
Yuqi, who composed many of the songs on (G)I-DLE's group album, also increased the sincerity and completeness of her first solo album by listing her name as a lyricist and composer on most of the songs, including the title song 'FREAK'. In addition, by featuring various artists such as (G)I-DLE's Minnie, pH-1, and Lexie Liu, Yugi's own musical color was established with more diverse genres and stories.
The first mini album [YUQ1], which confidently expresses all-rounder artist Yuqi's side.
I hope that all 'FREAK' people around the world will proudly come out and sing together in the world.
Today too, cute nerd Yuqi starts a fun party for lonely ‘FREAKs’.

A 'FREAK' that makes you want to open the window and shout in a moving car, repeating boring daily life.

At 9AM, “OMG, I overslept!”

‘Drink It Up’ is filled with a dreamy atmosphere.

By repeating the 4-bar bass loop, minimizing the beat and maximizing the hook, Yugi's Brag swag was created.

Arranged by BOYTOY, Disko
‘Everytime’, a warm sketch of youth drawn by Yuki and Minni.
Although it seems like a contrasting song in the medium tempo Emo Pop genre, the harmonious vocal tones of the two are attractive, and the emotional melody of the acoustic guitar that leads the song is characteristic.
At 12AM, “For our youth.”
07.Could It Be
Composed by Mike Elizondo, Micky Ekko
Lyrics by Mike Elizondo, Micky Ekko
Arranged by Mike Elizondo, Micky Ekko
'Could It Be' makes you look back on a golden dawn, a day that was like a dream.
The retro sound that can only be achieved with analog instruments from the 1970s, such as Juno, Prophet-5, and OP-1, gives the feeling of a pleasant dream.
At 2AM, “It was a dreamy day. Good night, everyone.”
Description (Original):
'괴짜'면 뭐 어때? 사랑스러운 'FREAK'우기의 첫 번째 미니 앨범 [YUQ1]
지난 1월 발매한 정규 2집 [2]으로 국내 주요 음원 차트에서 4연속 'PAK'(퍼펙트 올킬)을 달성한 음원 강자 (여자)아이들의 멤버 우기가 자신만의 색을 여실히 담아낸 첫 솔로 앨범 [YUQ1]를 발매한다. 앞서 디지털 싱글 [A Page]를 통해 끝없는 성장 가능성을 입증한 바 있는 우기는 매력적인 음색으로 국내외 여러 톱 아티스트들에게 러브콜을 받으며 다양한 음악적 커리어를 쌓아왔다.
우기의 첫 번째 미니 앨범 [YUQ1]는 앨범명에서 엿볼 수 있듯이 '우기' 그 자체를 담아냈다. 우기의 자유분방하면서도 섬세한 아티스트적 면모를 담아낸 이번 앨범은 우기의 이름 중 알파벳 'I'를 숫자 '1'로 표현하며 첫 앨범에 대한 강한 자신감을 시각적으로 표현했다.
타이틀 곡 'FREAK'는 우기만의 발랄한 에너지가 가득 담겨있는 곡으로 반복되는 지루한 일상 속 특별함을 선물한다. 특히 'FREAK'(괴짜)가 지닌 독특한 매력을 'She's a Certified Freak', 'I'm a Certified Freak'와 같은 솔직한 가사로 노래하며 지금까지 노래하던 대상이 사실은 '우기' 자신임을 밝힌다. 남들과의 다른 점을 인정하고, 오히려 이를 자신만의 개성으로 당당하게 소화하겠다는 우기의 자신감 가득한 이 곡은 듣는 이로 하여금 신선한 해방감을 느끼게 한다.
(여자)아이들의 단체 앨범에서도 다수의 수록곡을 작곡했던 우기는 이번에도 타이틀 곡 'FREAK'를 비롯한 수록곡 대다수에 작사, 작곡자로 이름을 올림으로써 첫 솔로 앨범에 대한 진정성과 완성도를 높였다. 또한 (여자)아이들 민니, pH-1, Lexie Liu와 같은 다양한 아티스트들의 피처링을 통해 더욱 다채로운 장르와 스토리로 우기만의 음악적 색깔을 구축했다.
올라운더 아티스트 우기의 면모를 자신감 넘치게 표현한 첫 번째 미니 앨범 [YUQ1]
전 세계 모든 'FREAK'들이 당당하게 세상에 나와 함께 노래하기를 바라며,
오늘도 귀여운 괴짜 우기는 외로운 'FREAK'들을 위한 즐거운 파티를 시작한다.
