'human vitamin' chuu (CHUU) made a shocking transformation into a mysterious blonde girl, opening the door to a powerful first full-length album.
On the 15th, agency ATRP released the first teaser video and images for the solo first full-length album 'XO, my cyberlove' via its official SNS channels. The album title for Chuu's first full-length album and the new album release date were confirmed as Jan. 7, raising fans' expectations at once.
In the first teaser video, Chuu captivates attention by creating a completely new atmosphere with long, bright blonde straight hair and blue-tinted eyes. The styling — a blue-tone knit, a pink skirt with a black dot pattern, and mismatched stockings of different colors — boldly reveals a change that differs in texture from her previous image.
The video, which begins with a scene of her briskly walking down an unfamiliar street with an exotic mood late at night, continues with Chuu shining a flashlight in a space reminiscent of a dark art museum as she searches for something. Suddenly, electronic waves of unknown origin flow around the fallen Chuu, and images reminiscent of coding screens on computer monitors crosscut, leaving a strong impression. The staging, as if digital signals penetrate physical space, represents the real and the unreal and foreshadows that the album title 'XO, my cyberlove' will signal a narrative that goes beyond a simple love story.
The released 'identification' teaser image continues the same contextual message. The ID, which lists the place of birth as 'Unknown', overlays a cold, unfamiliar visual with handmade knitting elements that convey an analog sensibility, creating coexisting contrasting textures. The setting, in which a digital mood image collides with human warmth, suggests that this album contains a worldview that metaphorically explores modern relationships and amplifies curiosity about the overall narrative.
Chuu, who has been beloved by the public for a bright and healthy image, began with her first solo mini album Howl in 2021 and has expanded her musical spectrum with Strawberry Rush and Only Cry in the Rain. This first full-length album is expected to most vividly capture Chuu's present and to complete the musical narrative she has built so far into a single world.
Chuu's first full-length album 'XO, my cyberlove' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on Jan. 7 next year.
