Q. You're releasing another digital single as a soloist. How do you feel?
A. I released the ‘Plus n Minus’ digital single in January this year, and I thought that I wouldn't be nervous since this would be my second album released. But I'm more tense and nervous about this album than the previous one.
Q. What kind of song is Jeong Yein's digital single 'Bus'?
A. This song has a different genre and vibe than ‘Plus n Minus’ from the previous album. If I showed a hip and lively charms through the previous album, this time it is filled with my calmer side. Like the title, it is a ballad that has a melancholic feel of missing the happy days while reminiscing about the old memories on the bus stop.
Q. Its contrasting vibe to ‘Plus n Minus’ caught the attention. What kind of charm did Jeong Yein want to capture?
A. I tried to go for a relaxed and fresh image in ‘Plus n Minus’, but for ‘Bus’ I tried to calmly express the lonely and melancholic vibe, but not too much. It's a very charming, melancholic song but also has a warm comfort.
Q. Please tell us about 'Bus' in one keyword!
A. I think it would be "Longing". When you think of bus stops, you think of the excitement of leaving somewhere, or of going back to your comfortable home and the feeling of rest. In my song, I tried to put the loneliness of waiting for a bus that has nowhere to go and doesn't come no matter how long time passes. It would be nice if you could focus on the lyrics that long for the happy and exciting time.
Q. I think it's a song that further emphasizes Jeong Yein's vocal colors, so was there any part that you focused on during the recording?
A. I wanted the emotions to be felt too much. Since this song feels lonely but also conveys a warm comfort, I tried to express my feelings calmly.
Q. I heard that you worked together with Heize for this album. Is there any memorable episode while working with Heize?
A. I kept recording the same part because I wanted the song to better, and I remember Heize-unnie told me that I worked so hard. Haha unnie, I love you and thank you!
Q. It seems like Jeong Yein's own vibe comes out in the music video. What do you think is the point to watch out for?
A. In this music video, the happy moments with someone from the past are intersected with the image of being left alone in the present. It will be way more interesting to follow my emotions that conflict with each point of view!
Q. Is there any charm of Yein's that you'd like to be imprinted on the public through this album?A. I have two. First is ‘A singer that gives comfort’. I always tend to get comforted when I listen to songs and gain the strength to live hard again, so I wish that people who listen to my song will be comforted and gain strength from this album. Second is ‘Vocal colors’. I sang this with a different style and feeling to my vocals to when I was doing activities as Lovelyz. I have hope that (people) would know that the singer named Jeong Yein has this kind of voice and emotions!
A. I actually once again felt that I need to have a lot of energy to sing a ballad by myself and I'm practicing for it. I think it's more meaningful because the time that I spent preparing for this album was to fill the parts in which I was lacking in!
Q. Have the Lovelyz members listened to the song? What were their reactions?
A. Lovelyz celebrated our 8th anniversary not too long ago so we met up, and I shot ‘Bus’ reel videos with the members! They reacted to the song together and cheered for me a lot, telling me that the song was perfect for me. I'm once again grateful for the unnies!
Q. It seems like you're showcasing a different charm with each album. What kind of image would you like to show more in the future?
A. There has been a lot of images that I've showcased so far, but I'd like to keep showing you various charms that I can slowly show you. I'd like to meet you again with a refreshing song that fits the summer next time!
Q. Please say a word to your fans who have been looking forward to this digital single 'Bus' a lot!
A. Lovelinus! I've been talking about how I was preparing an album for some months now so I haven't been able to actually sing it for you, but the album is finally out! Thank you so much for waiting for so long, and I hope that my song will be like a warm heater to you in the cold winter. I love you always!
