(G)I-DLE’s Yuqi is setting the stage for her distinctive pre-release track, marking a promising start to her solo career. On April 3rd, Cube Entertainment released the intro video for ‘Could It Be’, the pre-release track from Yuqi’s first mini album ‘YUQ1’, on their official channel.
The video commences in a stylish black-and-white tone, showcasing Yuqi’s professionalism during a photo shoot and capturing moments of her busy schedule as an artist, including scenes of her in a moving car looking fatigued. The transition to color as Yuqi enters her home signifies a shift to a more relaxed and natural style, contrasting with the earlier scenes. Yuqi engaging in activities like playing the guitar, walking, and reading, illustrates a serene lifestyle away from her hectic artist life.
A particularly intriguing moment occurs towards the end of the video when Yuqi opens a package containing a candle box. After blowing out a candle on a cake, the house seemingly shakes, leading to a blackout. A message, ‘Your Wish is Granted’, appears, sparking curiosity about Yuqi’s wish.
Yuqi has been beloved for her cute visuals paired with a husky voice, showcasing her versatility as a vocalist and producer. Her all-rounder capabilities extend to entertainment, where she has proven her exceptional variety skills. As Yuqi embarks on a new journey as a solo artist after six years with (G)I-DLE, anticipation is high for ‘Could It Be’, promising to fully reveal her unique musical identity.
Yuqi’s first mini album ‘YUQ1’ is set for online release on April 23rd at 6 PM, with the physical album available from April 24th.
