Maya Returns After 12 Years with New Music, 'Fifty-something Spring'

Singer and actress Maya is gearing up for her comeback to the music scene after a 12-year hiatus. The artist recently shared an update on her social media, revealing that her new album, which she has been meticulously preparing for a long time, is nearing completion.

Maya posted photos from a concert held in Changwon, announcing that she personally penned the lyrics and composed all the tracks for the album. She mentioned, 'You might have thought I was just farming, but I've been busy,' highlighting her dedication to her music.

She also revealed her plans to release 'Fifty-something Spring' (literal translation of '오십춘기'), a song celebrating her 50th birthday, within the year, with other tracks to follow. Hashtags like '#ReturningToMyRoots', '#StudiedGukakHard', and '#NoRegretsEvenIfIDieNow' underscore the deep sincerity and effort she has poured into this album. Fans are eagerly anticipating Maya's musical return, especially after she effectively paused her broadcast activities following the 2013 SBS drama 'Ugly Alert' and embraced a rural life.

Maya first gained widespread recognition in 2000 with her hit song 'Azalea.' She has since showcased her versatility through various projects including dramas and musicals. It is understood that she used her long break to find healing and recharge amidst nature.
