(Seoul = News 1) Reporter Ahn Eun-jae = Singer Lee Chae-yeon, a former member of the girl group IZone, refuted this, while there were suspicions that the design of the first mini album ‘HUSH RUSH’ was similar to that of another singer’s album.
On the followingnoon of the 8th, Lee Chae-yeon’s agency WM Entertainment announced, “We are very sorry and upset regarding the similarity (suspicion) in the design of Chae-yeon Lee’s 1st mini album ‘Hush Rush’ and albums of other artists.”
The agency said, “Lee Chae-yeon’s 1st mini album ‘Hush Rush’ compared the excitement of a vampire’s first world outing to the departure of solo artist Lee Chae-yeon, and planned not only the album concept but also the music video shooting with the same concept.” He explained, “The album package is composed of two versions of vampires and influencers by designing a transparent bag as an album package with the imagination that ‘MZ generation vampires’ carry them.”
According to the agency, the vampire version package contains objects that vampires can carry, such as sunglasses, blood bags, and eyeballs.
The agency said, “Our company has colored the concept of ‘MZ generation vampires’ with the keyword ‘outing into the world of vampires waking up following 300 years in Goseong’, along with the meaning of ‘Lee Chaeyeon’s solo debut’.” The images of eyes and lightning used in the album are objects to express the concept of a vampire.” She continued, “When it comes to the use of point color, it is a tone that is often used in horror and Halloween mood designs, and I used it in line with the concept of the album.”
He said, “The design font was also inspired by the genre of horror by Sandoll Co., Ltd., and released ‘Sandoll Uss’ and ‘Sandoll Successor of Light’, which are paid fonts used as design fonts that match the overall mood of the album.” He said that the heart design of the influencer version album was also purchased directly from an outsourced company through a paid image website and used.
Lastly, he emphasized, “In this way, Lee Chae-yeon’s 1st mini album ‘Hush Rush’ is an album that contains a clear image and a unique narrative that the album wants to convey.”
Earlier, following a part of Lee Chae-yeon’s ‘Hush Rush’ album was released, it was pointed out online that the design was similar to SHINee Key’s ‘Petrol’ album design. ‘Hush Rush’ will be released on the 12th.
