Description (Translated):
ADOY [her]: The world called youWhen your world meets mine, everything becomes magically clear. It's strange. You, who are neither very big nor dazzlingly flashy, just smiled lightly and took a cautious step, but my world, which was stubborn and unmoving no matter who came, changes into different clothes from head to toe. As if we were given a new optic nerve, the clearer world is completely new. It is only then that you realize how cute the road to the house, which used to turn like a wheel, was so cute, and how the sunset you looked at insensitively colored the city so beautifully every day. Is that all? As you stride through my world, a myriad of flowers and trees that you have never seen since birth grow, and birds and small animals that have been hiding everywhere come flying in with your small movement. The meeting of your world and my world is not a simple encounter, but a completely new beginning.
A single word slowly emerges through the vision where everything becomes clearer like a miracle. 'her'. You, a small and precious person who dug into my world. In fact, Adoi has been searching for abstract concepts that cannot be pinpointed for a while. Young, Love, VIVID. Those who swam across the sea of abstraction in various forms, including singles, EPs, and regular albums, finally encountered what they called 'her'. You came into my world and made everything clearer, you, no one else. the world of you
The first song 'Simply' opens the album's door with a calm attitude to humbly accept the ending of a story that has already begun, perhaps because they hold the direction key more clearly than ever before. Melodies and guitars that spread like a dream, and sweet voices like sleep talking, exchange notes one note after another, as if small creatures that had discovered each other for the first time carefully explored each other. Those who have completed their initial search do not hesitate any longer. 'Antihero' and 'Saint', which follow immediately, are probably the most distinctly loved moments in Adoi's music by fans of Adoi. The fresh synth-pop numbers of these two songs, drawn from the middle of the summer of youth, run fearlessly in the hot yet infinitely clean sunlight as if one would lose one's mind. In the second half of the album, where you catch your breath after one run, focus on gradually calming down the heat that has risen as if your heart is about to explode. With a cool voice, I seem to have fallen in love with you, but I constantly ask how you are ('Baby'), and then move to a New York skyscraper. ('NY') Adoi's music's unique sense of floating and running skillfully intersects and runs through the city at night. and speak show me now Whether it's your Cadillac, New York day and night, the fantasies you've harbored, the still-hidden hearts,
The last song 'Up', which confirms and welcomes the two worlds in perfect harmony, creates a more strange image. The song, which just blooms silently without any special lyrics, makes you doubt whether the breath that rose up to your chin a moment ago, the pulse that thumped in your ears, and the city night passing by like the wind outside the car window were real or just a dream of one night. Above the ambiguous boundary between dreams and reality, a world that is only you emerges. Just as two worlds meet and become one, Adoi's music that follows and draws at that moment becomes that much clearer. The reason why your world found me in the updraft, whether it be reality or a dream, and the direction Adoi's music wants to go have become clear. Your world finally became my world. Addoi finally became Addoi.

Description (Original):
ADOY [her] : 너라는 세계너라는 세계가 나의 세계를 만날 때, 모든 것은 마법처럼 선명해진다. 신기한 일이다. 그다지 몸집이 크지도 눈부시도록 화려하지도 않은 너는 그저 살짝 미소 지으며 조심스레 한 발을 내디뎠을 뿐인데, 누가 와도 꿈쩍 않고 고집을 부리던 나의 세계는 머리끝부터 발끝까지 다른 옷으로 갈아입는다. 새로운 시신경을 선물 받은 것처럼 또렷해진 세상은 모조리 새롭다. 쳇바퀴처럼 돌던 집에 오는 길이 이렇게 아기자기했는지, 무감하게 바라보던 노을이 이토록 아름답게 매일 도시를 물들였는지 그제야 깨닫게 된다. 그뿐인가. 나의 세계를 성큼성큼 걷는 너의 걸음을 따라 태어나 처음 보는 꽃과 나무가 무수히 자라나고, 너의 작은 움직임 하나에 곳곳에 몸을 숨기고 있던 새와 작은 동물들이 날아든다. 너의 세계와 나의 세계의 만남은, 단순한 마주침이 아닌 완전히 새로운 시작이다.
모든 게 기적처럼 선명해진 시야 사이로 단어 하나가 서서히 모습을 드러낸다. 'her'. 나의 세계 안을 파고든 작고 소중한 너. 사실 아도이는 한동안 뭐라 딱 꼬집어 이야기할 수 없는 추상적 개념들을 찾아 헤맸다. 젊음(Young), 사랑(Love), 생생함(VIVID). 싱글, EP, 정규 앨범 등 다양한 형태로 추상의 바다를 헤엄쳐 건넌 이들이 마침내 마주친 것, 그것이 바로 'her'다. 나의 세계에 들어와 모든 걸 선명하게 만든 너, 다른 누구도 아닌 바로 너. 너라는 세계.
그 어느 때보다 확실한 방향키를 쥐어서일까, 첫 곡 'Simply'는 이미 시작된 이야기의 결말이 무엇이든 겸허히 받아들이겠다는 담담한 자세로 앨범의 문을 연다. 꿈결처럼 퍼져나가는 멜로디와 기타, 달콤한 잠꼬대 같은 목소리는 마치 서로를 처음 발견한 작은 생명체들이 조심스레 서로를 탐색하듯 한 음, 한 음을 주고받는다. 최초의 탐색을 마친 이들은 더 이상 주저하지 않는다. 곧바로 이어지는 'Antihero'와 'Saint'는 아마도 아도이를 좋아하는 이들이 아도이의 음악에서 가장 뚜렷하게 사랑하는 순간일 것이다. 청춘의 여름 한가운데에서 길어낸 이 두 곡의 싱싱한 신스팝 넘버는, 정신을 잃을 것처럼 뜨거운 그러나 한없이 깨끗한 햇살 속을 두려움 없이 내달린다. 한 차례 질주가 끝난 뒤 숨을 고르는 앨범의 후반부는, 심장이 터질 듯 가득 차 올랐던 열기를 서서히 가라앉히는 데 집중한다. 쿨한 목소리로 나는 너와 사랑에 빠진 것 같은데 너는 어떠냐며 끊임없이 물어대더니('Baby') 이내 뉴욕의 마천루 아래로 장소를 옮긴다. ('NY') 아도이 음악 특유의 부유감과 질주감이 능숙하게 교차하며 밤의 도시를 내달린다. 그리고 말을 건다. 지금 나에게 보여달라고. 너의 캐딜락이든, 뉴욕의 낮과 밤이든, 네가 품어왔던 환상이든, 아직 숨겨진 마음이든,
완벽하게 조응한 두 세계를 확인하고 맞이하는 마지막 곡 'Up'은 그래서 더욱 더 묘한 심상을 낳는다. 특별한 노랫말 없이 고요하고 뭉근히 피어날 뿐인 노래는 조금 전 턱까지 차올랐던 숨이, 귓가에 요동치던 맥박이, 차창 밖으로 바람처럼 스쳐 지나던 도시의 밤이 진짜였는지 아니면 하룻밤의 꿈이었는지를 의심하게 한다. 꿈과 현실의 모호한 경계 위에서 오직 너라는 세계 하나가 분연히 떠오른다. 두 개의 세계가 만나 하나로 물들어간 것처럼, 그 순간을 따르고 그리는 아도이의 음악도 그만큼 선명해진다. 이것이 현실이어도 꿈이어도 좋을 상승기류 속에서 너의 세계가 나를 찾은 이유도, 아도이의 음악이 가고자 하는 방향도 명확해졌다. 너라는 세계가 비로소 나의 세계가 되었다. 아도이가 비로소, 아도이가 되었다.
