Secret's main vocal Song Jieun released the teaser image for her first solo single album 'Torturous Hope,' heightening the fans' anticipation.
On September 24th, the teaser image was revealed to the public to preview Song Jieun's comeback as a soloist after a long absence of two years. In 2011, she collaborated with B.A.P's Bang Yongguk in 'Going Crazy,' which reached #1 on music sites and dominated realtime charts, leaving a strong impression.
While promoting 'Going Crazy,' Song Jieun garnered much interest as a next generation diva for her strong singing abilities and her abilities to enact her powerful concept. News of Song Jieun's solo comeback this fall with a deep emotional ballad has set off a wave of excitement.
In the released teaser image, Song Jieun's natural waves of long black hair and both hands covering her face with a white knit create an exquisite contrast that catches the eyes.
Furthermore, Song Jieun demonstrates a clear femininity with a gaze that has become one level more mature and emits a sadness. Specifically, the pain in her eyes tells of the scars from the 'Torturous Hope' of the song's title, establishing Song Jieun's place as a solo vocalist apart from the bright and fresh image of Song Jieun as member of the girl group Secret.
This coming 30th, Song Jieun's first solo single album will be released and this week, Song Jieun will reveal 'Torturous Hope' through music programs.
Translator's Note: "희망고문" literally translates to "Hope Torture" and it is the pain of still having hope even when you know that it's not going to work. The music video teaser will be released on the 25th, music program promotions will begin on the 26th, and the album will be released on the 30th.

Date: 2013-09-24 09:07 am (UTC)I'm so excited about this song ! The lyrics are already talking to me though I just have the title and a little explanation. I already see myself listening to it over and over. And she looks stunning (although I couldn't recognize her easily, photoshop?).
I wonder what they mean by "solo single album" ; are they going to be several songs or just instrumental and remixes ? And Going Crazy wasn't the first solo song from Song Ji Eun, right ?
