Although she debuted three years ago, talented singer Navi was finally given the opportunity to unleash her first full album, titled “Hello“.

After careful consideration, Navi decided upon “Well Done” as her title track – and the choice was well-received. The song has been receiving much praise from her fans, simply because the melody complements perfectly with her strong vocals.

“It took a while for me to receive my title track. It was only at the last minute when I finally received “Well Done,” she explained. “I love the feel of the song. It was only right until the end when we decided to change the title track from my self-composed track, “Wonderful“, to this one. It was a bit burdensome knowing that it was my first full album, but since it was from an oppa who I matched well with even before my debut, I put my faith in him.”

Soon after its release, “Well Done” quickly began to rise up on various music charts, and it’s even becoming a song that is heard frequently on the streets. “I haven’t heard it on the streets yet. Lots of people leave comments on my Twitter and minihompy though. My friends have been telling me that they’ve been hearing my song lots while they’re out,” said Navi.

Releasing a full album was one of Navi’s long-time dream goals. With the current industry releasing more and more digital singles and mini-albums, successfully producing and releasing full albums has become a harder task to achieve for artists. Navi expressed, “In a difficult time like this, I’m thankful that I’m able to own an album with my name on it. It’s like a present to me.”

Ever since Navi’s comeback, many have speculated on whether Navi received plastic surgery due to her major visual transformation. However, Navi denied all claims, but is happy with the rumors, as she stated, “Who’d think this would ever happen to me? After hearing surgery rumors, I looked at my debut pictures and music video. I definitely felt why people were saying, ‘She’s gotten prettier’ and ‘She must be living comfortably now’. I haven’t fixed anything, but after losing a lot of weight and changing how I do my makeup, it trimmed down my face nicely. I’m happy that I’m hearing these things when I didn’t even invest money.”


Navi’s songs have been increasingly popular as songs to sing for auditions. Not only have people been using them for “Superstar K” and “Star Audition – The Great Rebrith“, but also for agency auditions and entrances into applied music majors. Navi mentioned, “I have thoughts of needing to do better when I watch others singing my songs. I’m thankful for people listening and singing my songs. It’s simply amazing.”

“There are a lot of high notes in my songs, so many to the point where people say people would throw their mics when they sing it in karaoke rooms. My throat was really dry during my first performance. I received a lot of stress because I wasn’t able to fully express what I really wanted. Because of that, my moods have made a downward turn, so recently I’ve been drinking pear juice, bellflower juice, and warm water to keep my throat in good condition. I need to limit my speaking, but I’ve been going on radio show broadcasts, and you can’t not talk on the radio (laughs).”

From February 11th to the 13th, Navi will be holding her first independent concert at Hongdae for “Hello”. As this is a concert she has been dreaming of ever since her childhood days, Navi has been busily working around the clock to practice and perfect her concert performances. The singer has prepared a whole variety of acts, including covers of pop songs and idol group hits, as well as a few dance performances. “Broadcast performances are good too, but through this upcoming concert, I want to become a singer who is known for her live performances. A singer only feels true happiness during live stages. Like how In Sooni and Kim Jang Hoon seniors are back to singing on stage again, I want to keep doing performances too.”

Navi continued, “After watching the Grammys, I want to try a lot more things with my performances, like stage influence and equipment. I wanted to be wired onto the stage like Lady GaGa and Pink, but I don’t think I’ll be able to that this time.”

Lastly, Navi expressed, “There are still not a lot of people who definitely know of my music and my face. With this new album, I really want to put a stamp on my music and my image. I’m planning to keep showing my usual, honest side of myself. To be honest, it’s not easy to be promoting as a solo female artist amongst so many idol groups – it’s hard keeping alive. There are a lot of things I heard from my idol star friends, but this year, I want to receive more love as a solo singer. I really hope the music market becomes more diverse.”

Navi將發行她的回歸專輯「Hello」。Navi的在1月15日所推出的主打歌已經是在音樂排行榜是有很好的成績了，但這次她將延續同公司的IU成功回歸的氣勢，再次出輯，希望能有更好成績。

而代表人則說「Navi比IU更早推出大概四、五個月。而IU最近將結束她的宣傳活動，我們正在努力，確保Navi能成功接下IU的工作棒，取得更好的成績。通過「Hello」，她主要集中在廣播電台的行程，但現在將擴大她的活動和音樂節目的演出以及新聞採訪。」

Navi也已經收到許多明星支持她的祝福，例如2AM的昶旻、尹道鉉、金帆洙、和Super Junior的神童，他們都分別說「你是最好的」、「做得好」、「加油！」以及「恭喜你」。
