Younha ​Celebrates 20th Debut Anniversary with New Album ⁣’Growth Theory’

Younha, who recently celebrated​ her 20th ‍debut ‍anniversary, shared her ⁣thoughts ⁣on her‌ singing career. “I’m looking for what real art⁣ is. In a ⁢capitalist ⁤society, music is⁤ a luxury, but I try not to be‍ hypocritical as a singer when assigning value. I think ‍that in the past and in the future, I’m still in the ⁤process of finding that sweet spot.”

Younha, who has been running hard in the music industry, released her seventh ‌full-length ​album ‘Growth Theory’⁤ on the 1st to celebrate‌ the 20th anniversary of her debut. ‘Growth Theory’ is a full-length album that Younha prepared for about‍ a year. It is the second story of ​a trilogy, released 2 years and 10 months ​after her⁢ 6th album ‘End⁢ Theory’⁤ in November 2021.

Regarding her new album, Younha said, “This is an album that ​I worked on for a ⁣year. I think it will be my most splendid album,” and expressed her confidence by saying, “I​ think it would be⁤ good to ⁢think of this album as a rock album. It is an album in⁣ which I have taken on all the musical challenges⁢ that I have wanted‌ to do​ without any ⁣desire.”

Younha has always ⁤preferred and stuck to rock-style music that utilizes her ​high-pitched ‍vocals. Although she‍ has a strong tendency toward ballads, Younha’s voice ‌in the rock version‌ is undoubtedly attractive. She said that⁤ while she thinks about the public’s reaction, it’s also important‍ to do⁢ the‍ music she‌ wants.

Younha is carrying out ‌various activities to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her debut this​ year, including the release of her 7th regular album. First of all, she successfully held a nationwide tour and small theater concerts, starting with her first solo concert at⁤ K-Spo Dome (formerly the Gymnastics‌ Arena) ‌in February.

Younha is one of the artists ​who has a solid presence among domestic ⁣female solo singers. The ‍reason she has been loved for⁤ a long time is undoubtedly her outstanding vocal skills. ⁢However, Younha chose ‘fans’⁢ first when asked about the ‍secret to her longevity.

Younha said, “The reason I do music is for my own​ satisfaction, but I can’t leave out gratitude towards my fans. I’m lucky and fortunate that things are going well⁤ for me.⁢ My fans are the ones⁢ who have shared in my struggles, even when ⁤I’ve seen singers go through slumps and wander.⁢ I’m always grateful⁢ that they never left ⁤me and ⁣continued to grow me as a‍ singer.”

Younha has overcome her own experiences. In ‍the current music ⁤industry where idol⁤ music is mainstream, Younha has learned⁢ how to survive. ​’Good​ music’ will eventually become ‌known. “The reverse⁣ run of ‘Love Horizon’ was a clear opportunity ⁣for me to confirm what I should do and what I can do. I think that only a good album can return⁤ the love I received. It is an album that I am 100% satisfied ‌with. I hope that many people will listen to ‌the songs and rely‌ on them.”
