OH MY GIRL's Mimi to make solo debut after 11 years

OH MY GIRL's Mimi is finally taking her first steps as a solo artist, 11 years after her debut.

Having built a unique rap style and a strong, distinctive character through group activities, Mimi is now embarking on a new challenge as a solo artist, directly designing her own musical world.

Mimi will release her first solo single on the 20th at 6 PM. This music release is expected to showcase a unique musical color and new sensibilities that she could not fully express during her group activities.

"Mimi will debut as a solo artist through her first single," her agency stated, adding, "She actively participated in the overall music production to include her own story."

It has been approximately 11 years since Mimi, who debuted with OH MY GIRL in 2015, released a solo music release.

During this time, Mimi has served as the group's main rapper, establishing a powerful presence with her husky tone, unique flow, and intense performances. Even within the refreshing and dreamy musical world presented by OH MY GIRL, Mimi's rap has been a crucial element that expands the group's sonic identity.

Mimi has also built a significant presence beyond the music stage in variety shows. By building a relatable image through her candid personality and unexpected wit, she has continued to expand her career far beyond the role of an 'idol rapper.'

This solo debut is expected to be the stage where Mimi fully proves the unique musical identity she has prepared for a long time.

The most noteworthy aspect of this single is Mimi's involvement in the creative process.

Mimi participated directly in songwriting and composition, actively reflecting her vision throughout the production process. Moving beyond simply performing vocals and rap, she personally shaped the musical direction, performance, and visual concept to capture her identity as an artist.

This release is the culmination of the experiences and reflections she has gathered over the 11 years since her debut.

Having faithfully performed her role within the group, Mimi is now building her own musical world through her own voice and sensibilities.

Attention is focused on how this solo single—which combines her signature rhythmic rap, performance skills, and self-penned musical messages—will be received.

Mimi's first solo single will be released on various online music release platforms on the 20th at 6 PM. Expectations are high to see what new possibilities this first chapter of 'Solo Mimi' will reveal, 11 years after her debut.
