2NE1's Minzy breaks 4 years, 9 months of silence with 'Calling,' her true voice

Self rediscovered in the darkness, global artist takes a new leap forward

Gong Minzy, a key member of the group '2NE1' and a solo artist, is returning to the public after a long hiatus. Her agency, 'MZ Entertainment,' announced that her new single, 'CALLING', which captures her new musical vision, will be officially released at 6 p.m. on the 28th. Crafted over a remarkable four years and nine months, the release is expected to mark more than a simple comeback; it could serve as an important milestone in reestablishing the artist's core identity.

The title track, 'CALLING,' portrays the profound process of confronting the self who became lost in deep darkness, answering the call echoing from within and rising again. Rather than relying on formulaic dance-pop, the song is expected to demonstrate Minzy's sincere message and more mature vocal abilities.

The single targets a global fan base at the same time. It includes Korean- and English-language versions of the title track, 'CALLING,' along with another emotionally resonant track, 'We Almost Were,' for a total of three songs. Music fans around the world are watching to see what kind of musical catharsis Gong Minzy, who helped lead K-pop's golden era with her unmatched performances and steady live vocals, will deliver through this new release.
