Ex-IZ*ONE singer Jo Yu-ri drops MV teaser for solo debut ‘Glassy’
Former IZ*ONE member Jo Yu-ri has revealed the music video teaser for her forthcoming debut single album ‘Glassy’.
The clip follows the K-pop star as she heads to a retro diner called ‘Glassy’ for a cup of coffee. There, she comes across a news story about a giant glass shoe that has mysteriously appeared in the “centre of the city”.
The visual is soundtracked by a snippet of the upcoming single, which seems to feature a disco-inspired sound. ‘Glassy’ is set to be released on October 7.
‘Glassy’ is the title track of her upcoming debut solo single album of the same name. The project will also feature two B-sides, ‘Express Moon’ and the previously released ‘Autumn Memories’ with SG Wannabe’s Lee Seok-hoon.
The forthcoming release will make the 19-year-old singer the second IZ*ONE member to officially make their solo debut, following former leader Kwon Eun-bi. Kwon had debuted last month with the six-track mini-album ‘Open’, alongside its lead single ‘Door’.
Kwon had previously shared her thoughts on going solo in an interview with South China Morning Post. “I feel good overall, but I have a lot of weight on my shoulders about needing to show my own colours,” she confessed. “It’s my first time, so I’m trying to show myself as best as I can to everyone.”
In other IZ*ONE news, former member Miyawaki Sakura has reportedly signed a new contract with BTS‘ agency HYBE Labels, and is set to join an upcoming girl group managed by HYBE’s subsidiary Source Music.
The label’s upcoming girl group will also allegedly include Produce 48 contestant and Pledis Entertainment trainee Heo Yun-jin as well as ex-IZ*ONE members Kim Chae-won and Kim Min-ju.
