Yeji Embarks on New Chapter With Solo EP Air
ITZY’s fearless leader, Yeji, will officially make her solo debut with her highly anticipated EP, AIR, coming March 10.
The announcement sent fans into a frenzy, especially after releasing a visually stunning and sonically intriguing trailer teasing an artistic evolution unlike anything we’ve seen from her before. The trailer offers a glimpse into Yeji’s bold new concept, blending futuristic aesthetics, ethereal visuals, and a powerful soundscape.
The setting feels straight out of a sci-fi film—a sleek, white, sterile lab filled with hologram computer monitors, where Yeji experiments on and analyzes otherworldly plants. One striking moment features an intense eye scanner, its red, laser-like beam locking onto her powerful gaze.

For a brief moment, she is transported to a transcendental, ethereal forest, where she appears to become one with her surroundings. As she touches a radiant orange flower, her eyes glow with a vibrant golden hue, signaling a mysterious transformation.
Throughout the trailer, the artist dons bold, avant-garde outfits blending futuristic high-fashion aesthetics with edgy streetwear, reflecting themes of strength, freedom, and individuality at the core of her solo debut.

One of the trailer’s most captivating elements is its sound. It begins with a soft, atmospheric hum that gradually builds into pulsating electronic beats, layered with echoing synths. The most chilling moment comes towards the end when a haunting, dreamlike vocal chop reverberates in the background. Each sound perfectly complements the cinematic, futuristic visuals, creating an atmosphere that is both surreal and intense.
Throughout February, leading up to the EP’s release on March 10, she will unveil the official track list, concept photos, short films, music video teasers, album spoilers, and the cover, culminating in a live countdown to the album and music video release.
