GI-DLE's Miyeon Successfully Concludes Solo Activities for 'MY, Lover', Achieves Career-High Sales

MIYEON of the group (G)I-DLE has successfully wrapped up her promotions for her second mini-album, 'MY, Lover'.

Miyeon officially concluded her two-week promotional activities for 'MY, Lover' after her performance on SBS's 'Inkigayo' on the 16th. The album, featuring a total of seven tracks including the title song 'Say My Name' and the pre-released track 'Reno (Feat. Colde)', garnered critical acclaim for its exploration of themes like heartbreak, lingering feelings, regret, overcoming challenges, and devotion.

Over the past two weeks, Miyeon captivated audiences with her 'all-around artist' stage presence during her music show promotions for 'Say My Name'. She delivered high-quality live performances on KBS2's 'Music Bank', MBC's 'Show! Music Core', and SBS's 'Inkigayo', showcasing her deepened vocal tone and stable vocal abilities.

The album also achieved remarkable domestic and international success. 'MY, Lover' surpassed 200,000 copies in initial album sales, doubling the record set by her first mini-album 'MY' and marking a new 'career high'. Furthermore, it topped major Chinese music platforms QQ Music and Kugou Music immediately after release, charted in 18 countries on the iTunes Top Albums chart, and secured top positions in 10 countries on Apple Music, solidifying her global presence.

Prominent international media outlets also highlighted Miyeon's second mini-album and vocal prowess. American pop culture magazine Stardust praised, "While retaining the precise expressiveness shown in 'MY,' she explores new sonic textures with more nuanced breathwork," and Italian magazine Panorama noted, "Instead of rushing or pushing, Miyeon refines, pausing the standardized K-POP formula and returning to narrative," drawing attention to Miyeon's innovative musical endeavors.

Miyeon concluded her impactful mini-album promotions with a special clip for the B-side track 'F.F.L.Y'. Miyeon participated in writing the lyrics for this song, which metaphorically conveys the emotions felt at the end of a love. In the special clip, Miyeon passionately sang within a glass room, separated by glass from a desolate environment. The visual effects transitioning seasons from summer to winter, combined with Miyeon's restrained emotional expression, deeply enhanced the song's emotional arc.

Having completed her mini-album activities for 'MY, Lover', Miyeon is scheduled to meet global fans through MCing and performing at 'DREAM CONCERT ABU DHABI 2025' in Abu Dhabi on the 22nd.

Netizens commented, "Miyeon's vocals are truly healing," "The quality of the solo album is insane," and "I'm looking forward to more solo activities in the future," expressing their admiration.
