Singer CHUU ends a long legal dispute with his former agency and makes a fresh start as a solo artist. It feels quite different from her typical clear, bright smile and lively image. Is it thanks to overcoming great adversity? He had grown so much and become stronger that even her close acquaintances found Chu’s voice unfamiliar.
On the 18th, a media showcase commemorating the release of singer Chuu’s first mini album ‘Hwol’ was held at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Chuu performed her eponymous title song and b-side song ‘Underwater’ and conducted a joint interview.

Chuu expressed his overwhelming feelings regarding his debut, saying, “I am releasing my first solo album 6 years following my debut. I worked hard and studied a lot to get to this point.”
Chuu debuted as a member of the girl group Loona in 2017 under the entertainment agency Blockberry Creative (hereinfollowing referred to as Blockberry). However, since 2021, she has been in an exclusive contract dispute with her agency due to unfair settlement, etc. At the time, Blockberry took harsh measures once morest Chuu, including expelling her from the group, accusing her of being ‘aggressive’ with her staff, but Chuu steadfastly maintained her position by working independently, including appearing on entertainment programs. After a two-year long dispute, the court ruled in Chu’s favor, and Chu took up residence in her new agency, ATRP.

This is the first time Chuu has released a solo song, excluding OSTs or remakes, in 6 years since the song ‘Heart Attack’ released in 2017. Chu said, “Before ‘Howl’, I tried to constantly let my fans hear my voice through OSTs and remake albums. It appeared on various contents, including the YouTube content ‘Protect Chu’ channel, and was broadcast on radio for the first time following appearing in ‘Steel Unit’. He shared his current status, saying, “I have established myself as a special DJ.”
‘Howl’ is the fruit of Chuu’s long efforts to stand on his own. The keyword is ‘healing’. The title song of the same name as the album continues the same emotional line in the lyrics, melody, and music video. The music video tells the story of Chuu, who lived as a reclusive loner, encounters an unknown being called a ‘monster’ and is brought out into the world. In the lyrics that say, ‘It’s okay even if the world is ruined like this, I don’t think it’s okay,’ she uses lyrical a cappella vocals, and when Chu encounters a new world, you can feel her energy with her strong beat and bass line.

Chuu especially emphasized the lyrics written by Seo Ji-eum. He said, “Among the lyrics of ‘Howl,’ there is a line called ‘You are my little hero.’ I was very moved by this part, and my interpretation of this song deepened.” He added, “This song has become a little hero and has helped many people.” “I hope it becomes a hopeful song that can give as much courage and hope as the emotion it gave me,” he said.
He continued, “The lyrics contain the things I’ve always wanted to say but mightn’t say because I didn’t have the courage to be honest. I think everyone has moments of being hurt in life, and this song brings out courage and hope by bringing out those moments that we want to ignore. “I hope it encourages you,” he emphasized.

The exclusive contract dispute that he experienced earlier made Chuu stronger and influenced his deep understanding of this song. Chuu said, “Actually, I think everyone has difficult moments or when things don’t go well. I also had those moments, and those moments when I felt like progress was slow had a big impact on me.” He added, “I had a difficult time expressing and understanding the title song. “I think it gave me a little bit of a stepping stone and courage. It’s the precious ‘Howl’ that gave me the courage to overcome,” he said with a laugh.
Loona members also came out to cheer. Chuu expressed his gratitude, saying, “They supported me until this morning. They are grateful beings who give me stability and comfort whenever I am anxious and worried. The members were the driving force in making this album and boosted my confidence.” When asked by reporters regarding their plans for activities as a full 12-member group, they showed a tearful expression, saying, “I’m always keeping it open, and I hope I get a chance to show it to them soon.”

The music video was filmed entirely on location in Portugal. Chuu, who was trapped in a dark room, met a ‘monster’ and played the emotional role of growing up. The monster, embodied as a cute character, is Chuu’s alter ego, and brings out the lonely Chuu trapped in her room and delivers the hopeful energy of her world.
Chu said, “I was worried that I would have difficulty expressing myself emotionally, but I really came here following healing and would like to recommend Portugal to many people. In fact, the charm of the city was so great that I spontaneously filmed the music video for ‘Hitchhiker’ with the director and staff. “I ended up doing it. I took a quick photo for fun before dinner,” he said.

The album contains five songs, including the title song, ‘Underwater’, ‘My Palace’, ‘Aliens’, and ‘Hitchhiker’.
In this album, you can especially see Chuu’s new vocals. It is quite different from the image of Chuu’s refreshing ‘juicy beauty’ and ‘human vitamin’ that we have seen through her entertainment programs. Chu said, “Even my school friend of 10 years heard my song and responded, ‘Is this your voice?’ Other people also listened to the song in the album in advance and responded, ‘This is my first time hearing a voice like this.’ “I expected that we might approach a new Chew with ‘Howl’.”

What Chuu is aiming for with this album is ‘a twist.’ Chu said, “As an artist, I want to become a singer with a definite charm. I think many people have seen a lot of me through entertainment. I think they may not know my voice well and haven’t heard me sing much, so I asked ‘Chu. “I want to create awareness that ‘I have this kind of voice.’ I want to be remembered as a singer with a comfortable voice,” he said.
My role model is IU. Chu said, “I have looked up to you since I was young. I want to learn from senior IU that she puts messages into her songs and expresses them. I also want to convey the message and emotion through my songs like senior IU. I want to convey messages with delicate emotions when expressing songs. “I want to become a capable singer,” he said.
Chuu’s first solo album ‘Howl’ will be released on various music sites at 6 PM on this day.
