Former Weki Meki leader Ji Suyeon is diving headfirst into her solo era — and she’s doing it with a title that’s already turning heads. The singer has announced her official solo debut with her first digital single, whimsically titled The Fish That Left to the Forest, set to drop on 29th May at 6PM KST.
That’s right, Suyeon’s making a splash with a poetic-sounding track that already has fans buzzing. While she’s no stranger to the mic — having held down vocals and leadership duties during Weki Meki’s run under Fantagio — this marks her first solo release since the group quietly wrapped activities.
The teaser art and promotional materials have stayed pretty low-key, but the title alone has sparked curiosity. What kind of fish leaves the sea for the forest? Is it metaphorical? A little fairytale moment? A heartbreak anthem with an indie twist? Fans reckon we’re in for something experimental, emotional — or both.
Since Weki Meki disbanded in early 2023, the members have been charting their own paths — with Doyeon and Yoojung picking up acting gigs and variety appearances, and now Suyeon stepping out with her own sound. Judging by the soft pastel tones in the promo and the poetic nature of the track title, it looks like Suyeon’s ready to show a more introspective side.
K-pop netizens have reacted warmly, with many cheering on her fresh start:
- “She’s always had such a unique voice, can’t wait to hear what she’s prepared.”
- “The title is giving IU vibes… curious to see her musical colour.”
- “Weki Meki deserved more, so I’m glad she’s getting her moment.”
With the release slated for 6PM KST on 29th May, fans can expect the full track and possibly a music video to drop on major platforms like Melon, Genie, Spotify and YouTube.
So mark your calendars — Ji Suyeon’s stepping into the spotlight again, and this time, she’s taking us to the forest. Whether it’s a ballad, a bossa nova experiment, or a full-on art-pop journey, we’re here for it.
Stay tuned for the drop — and let’s hope this fish thrives on land.
