OH MY GIRL's Hyojung Releases Solo Single Purple Note, Carrying an Autobiographical Story

OH MY GIRL's Hyojung has captivated music fans once again with a solo comeback that tenderly soothes the wounds and growth of youth. According to her agency, Purple Note was released today, the 21st, at 6:00 PM on major music sites as a digital single, featuring three tracks: the title track '나의 작은 청춘에게', the B-side 'Look Around', and the instrumental version '나의 작은 청춘에게(Inst.)'. Hyojung personally participated in writing and composing all tracks, weaving autobiographical storytelling into the music. The album title Purple Note is a special concept borrowed from the name she used when she was in her high school band, adding a unique touch that has fans buzzing. The title track '나의 작은 청춘에게' blends a bright band sound with Hyojung's cheerful, refreshing vocals in a pop-rock style, delivering courage to move forward through hard times and telling the story of youth. The music video juxtaposes Hyojung as a high school student nurturing a singer’s dream with her current self who has achieved that dream, connecting past and present into one narrative. The other track 'Look Around' is an acoustic-based ballad with lyrics delivered in a spoken, confiding way, conveying that time spent with the precious people beside you is the greatest source of strength, leaving a calm afterglow. In this way, Purple Note marks a deeper musical depth for Hyojung through a band sound and autobiographical storytelling. The album concept is also reflected in the music video, where the past and present stand side by side; the journey of youth is presented as a single narrative as past dreams intersect with present realities. The agency stated, 'We send gentle encouragement to all youths moving at their own pace through every track.' Another media report noted that Purple Note's title was inspired by the name Hyojung actually used in the band, and she plans to broaden the spectrum of band sounds in future activities. Hyojung's solo release followed about 1 year and 5 months after her December 2024 special single 'Christmas Night Train'. The new release suggests a different color by introducing band sounds alongside autobiographical storytelling. Fans have high expectations for this work, focusing on her deeper growth as an artist. The release news for Purple Note was officially confirmed at 6:00 PM on the 21st, and more diverse content and activities are expected to follow as part of Hyojung's solo journey. Fans look forward to how this single will resonate with their own青春 today.
