EL7Z UP’s Yeeun Celebrates First Anniversary of Solo Debut

Yeeun

Singer Yeeun, formerly of CLC, is gearing up to mark a significant milestone in her music career. Come April, it will be one year since she made her solo debut. Her journey has seen her go from a group member to a solo artist with an identity all her own. To commemorate this occasion, Yeeun will mount an event in Tokyo. YEEUN Solo Debut 1st Anniversary Photo Signing Event in Japan will take place at Iino Hall in Tokyo on April 14. It will serve as a celebration of her career and a heartfelt thank-you to the fans who supported her through the years.

Yeeun’s solo career began with the release of her debut EP, The Beginning, a project that aimed to showcase a broader spectrum of her artistry and personality. This was a significant shift from her days with CLC, where the group’s concepts often overshadowed the members’ individual identities. The Beginning had two songs, “Cherry Coke” and “Strange Way to Love,” each representing different sides of Yeeun. “Cherry Coke” blended the sweetness of cherry with the kick of coke, symbolizing the mix of her past and present selves. Meanwhile, “Strange Way to Love” offered a more introspective look at the relationship between artists and their fans.

Embarking on a solo career made Yeeun excited yet nervous. Performing alone, without the familiar presence of her group members, proved to be challenging. However, it also gave her the creative freedom to explore various concepts and genres. Collaborating with producer Ryan Jhun, Yeeun carved out a unique niche for herself in the music industry, drawing on her experiences and insights from her time with CLC.

Yeeun‘s journey began in 2015 with CLC‘s debut EP, First Love. Despite the group’s disbandment in 2022, she continued to pursue her passion for music. These days, aside from her solo career, she’s also in the project group EL7Z UP, formed through Mnet’s Queendom Puzzle. EL7Z UP has seven members including Yeeun herself. Since releasing their first EP, 7+UP, they have appeared at KCON Saudi Arabia and the 2023 MAMA Awards.

The event she’s mounting in Japan is not just a reflection of everything she’s achieved in the past year. It’s also a testament to her artistic and personal growth. – K-Pop News Writer

Anticipation for EL7Z UP just got higher as the girl group formed from Mnet’s survival series Queendom Puzzle announced their official fandom name. 

On Friday, September 8, the seven-piece act revealed that their fan club would be called ELYZ U. It is pronounced as “elzz-u.”

For the meaning of the fan club name, they explained that it’s derived from the phrase “EL7Z UP, I love u.” “It means that the fans love EL7Z UP. Let’s spend days full of love under the name of ‘EL7Z U,’” they captioned the post. 

Interestingly, ELY7Z UP is pronounced as “else-up.” Moreover, MNet has previously explained that the group name is intended as an anagram of the word “puzzle.” It was initially stylized as ELYZ U+P before the show announced some adjustments.

This momentous occasion is a testament of EL7Z UP’s solid bond with their fans even before the group make its official debut. 

Moreover, ELYZ Us can also start signing up for the official fan club community. 

What ELYZ U should know about EL7Z UP

For those unfamiliar, EL7Z UP is formed through MNet’s survival show Queendom Puzzle, a spin-off  of Queendom. There, 26 idols from currently active girl groups battle for spots to be part of the seven-member group.

H1-KEY’s Hwiseo, woo!ah!’s Nana, and PURPLEKISS’s Yuki were the top three in the final votes.

Meanwhile, Lovelyz’s Kei and WJSN’s

Yeoreum placed fourth and fifth, respectively. Rocket Punch Yeonhee, and CLC’s Yeeun also made it to the debut group. 

According to reports, EL7Z UP will not have a set amount of contract year, but plans to release a total of three albums. It is different compared to other project groups from survival programs, who only promote within a two-year period. 

Additionally, it was revealed that the EL7Z UP members will still be promoting with their original groups or solo during the duration of the project group. 

Time for 7+UP 

Along with revealing the official fandom name, EL7Z UP also released new set of concept photo teasers. 

The project group is set to debut on September 14 with the album 7+UP. It will have a total of five songs, with “Cheeky” as the title track.

To celebrate the group’s debut, they will also open a pop-up cafe and store at The Hyundai Seoul from September 21 to September 27.

Aside from their debut album preparations, the group is also preparing for a fan concert in Japan. They will also reportedly have a world tour and a special performance at the 2023 MAMA Awards.
