SEVENTEEN’s Woozi, one of K-pop’s most celebrated singer-songwriters, has announced his first solo mixtape Ruby.
Carats, are we okay? Are we breathing? No? Okay!
SEVENTEEN’s Woozi – one of the group’s main songwriters – has announced his first-ever solo mixtape Ruby, sending anticipation for the new year soaring among K-pop fans. And it seems like fans won’t have to wait too long for it either – Ruby comes out next week on January 3rd.
News of Woozi’s release comes after some heavy anticipation building. The singer has been hinting at a solo release for some time now, wanting to show off a “different” side to himself.
As announced by the group earlier this year, Ruby seems to be the next step in what is called the group’s ‘The Thirteen Tapes’ project – an interview and photo-book series released to ‘commemorate’ each of the thirteen members’ solo releases.
With SEVENTEEN’s agency Pledis Entertainment saying that a new volume would accompany every member’s mixtape release, it seems logical to expect one for Woozi’s Ruby.
The first ‘The Thirteen Tapes’ interview and photo-book was that of member Hoshi, who surprised and mesmerized everyone with his scintillating release Spider.
