South Korean Singer Lee Young-ju Finds Her Voice in Taiwan, Releases Debut Album

South Korean singer Lee Young-ju has released her first mini-concept album, "POV," in Taiwan, marking a significant step in her burgeoning music career. Lee initially came to Taiwan as an exchange student and found a sense of belonging due to the warmth and approachability of the local people.

She humorously notes that the supportive environment has transformed her from a shy "introvert" (an "I person" in Korean personality typing) to a more outgoing "extrovert" (an "E person"). This newfound comfort and confidence have empowered her to pursue her singing aspirations more boldly.

The song title 'Alive' is meant to tell everyone 'I am alive, and I am bravely walking the path of music.'

The album's lead single, "Alive," showcases Lee's vocal prowess, moving beyond her established online creator persona. The song features a powerful performance with strong vocals, revealing a different facet of her artistry. Lee was deeply moved by the song's demo and insisted on its inclusion in the album.

Inspired by South Korean superstar IU, Lee aspires to become a "national singer" who can touch people's hearts with her voice. She sees "Alive" as a message of resilience and courage, conveying "I am alive, and I am bravely walking the path of music." Lee hopes the song encourages listeners to find their own life's landscape and embrace their journey toward their ideal selves.
