'DIA→BJ→Solo' An Som-i's Comeback to the Entertainment Industry Confirmed... 8 Years After Personal Activities 'Fall New Song' Release

An Som-i, a former member of the group DIA, is officially returning to the entertainment industry as a solo singer after her activities as a BJ. On the 29th, her agency Modern Berry Korea announced, 'An Som-i will debut as a solo artist with a new song this fall.'

This solo debut holds special significance for An Som-i. It is her first personal activity in about 8 years since joining DIA in 2017. It marks her first opportunity to showcase her own musical color after focusing solely on group activities.

This new song features notable collaboration. Kim Min-sol, who is from the Mnet variety show 'I-LAND 2', participated in the lyrics and producing, enhancing the musical completeness. Kim Min-sol, a former Wake One trainee, gained recognition for her skills when her performance of 'Eyes, Nose, Lips' alongside Yoon Ji-yoon on 'I-LAND 2' received high praise from the original artist Taeyang. Expectations for An Som-i's first solo song are rising due to this collaboration with a proven talent.

Looking back on An Som-i's musical journey, it has been filled with ups and downs. She has been active as a member of the group since the release of DIA's second full album 'YOLO' in 2017. However, she withdrew from the group in 2022 due to health reasons, resulting in a hiatus in her music activities. Since then, she has continued to communicate with fans through her BJ activities, but it seems she has not lost her passion for music.

It is significant that An Som-i, who learned how to communicate with the public through her BJ activities and achieved personal growth, is now returning to her main profession of music. There is great interest in how she will express her individual musical identity, which is different from group activities, and how her experiences from her BJ activities will influence her music.

Currently, An Som-i is busy preparing for her new song, and specific release dates and promotional schedules will be announced later. Attention is focused on what results her solo debut will bring, not only from fans who have followed her since her DIA days but also from new fans she met through her BJ activities. The reason to look forward to fall is to see what An Som-i's music, after 8 years of waiting, will look like.
