Yves recently released the evocative single “Ex Machina.”<\/span><\/p>\n Paix Per Mil<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n What does it take to succeed as a solo act after being a member of a popular girl group? Ask Yves, former member of the 11-member k-pop group LOONA. After the group ended their run in 2023, she successfully launched her career as a solo artist even though the transition was scary. Thoughts like, \u201cWhat if I don\u2019t meet people\u2019s expectations?\u201d or \u201cWhat if the haters are right and I fail?\u201d kept running through her head. <\/p>\n \u201cI even found myself wondering if the executives from other companies who once said I shouldn\u2019t debut solo had been right all along,\u201d said Yves.<\/p>\n Signing on with a new agency, Paix Per Mil, helped her gain confidence.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was challenging at first,” said Yves, “Finding my own sound, filling an entire album with just my voice, and performing alone on stages I used to share with others. But I knew that every new beginning comes with its own risks. My company believed in me and supported my journey as a solo artist, and that gave me the strength to stay as positive as possible through it all.\u201d<\/p>\n Yves made her solo debut in May 2024 with two EPs LOOP <\/em>and <\/strong>I DID<\/em>, then in 2025 released the EP titled Soft Error<\/em>.<\/p>\n Soft Error<\/em> showcases her ever-evolving signature style across its seven songs and features UK artist PinkPantheress on the song \u201cSoap<\/u><\/a>,\u201d and a Spanish-language cameo by Bratty on \u201cAibo<\/u><\/a>,\u201d A few months later Yves released \u201cEx Machina,\u201d a song she composed with South Korean musician and producer IOAH.<\/p>\n \u201cI had such a great time working hard on it together with IOAH, so I hope you\u2019ll love and listen to this song,\u201d said Yves. “Can’t wait to see what kind of feelings and thoughts ‘Ex Machina’ sparks for you!” <\/p>\n Composing brought her closer to her goal of being able to share her own stories.<\/p>\n \u201cI had grown more comfortable as a solo artist and kept reminding myself of the goal I set from the very beginning \u2014 to share my own stories with fans through songs I write myself,\u201d said Yves. “Even amid a busy schedule, I constantly told IOAH and our team how much I wanted to be involved in songwriting, and together we thought carefully about including \u2018Ex Machina\u2019 on the album.<\/p>\n Although the song was originally intended for the Soft Error EP<\/em>, released in August 2025, Yves wanted to make sure it was just right. So the song was released alongside the deluxe version of Soft Error <\/em>in October.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so happy that we eventually got to share it with fans through a repackaged album, <\/strong>Soft Error: X,” <\/em>said Yves. “Building melodies over IOAH\u2019s beautiful guitar track was such a joyful experience \u2014 I completely lost track of time while working on it.\u201d<\/p>\n Every song she performs is created for her.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Paix Per Mil, we don\u2019t just choose from existing songs \u2014 we craft music from scratch to fit my tone and tell my story in the most authentic way,\u201d said Yves. \u201cWe have a boutique team, which means our producers and creative directors are deeply involved in shaping each project through open conversations about the story we want to tell and how to bring it to life.\u201d<\/p>\n In previous interviews she described See You In Hell <\/em> her favorite song. The melodic pop song\u2014with contrastingly dark lyrics about an \u201cunforgivable\u201d choice\u2014suits her distinctively delicate and yet powerful vocal style. <\/p>\n \u201cIn most of my previous songs, my voice blended into the track like another instrument,\u201d said Yves. \u201cBut See You In Hell <\/em>was the first song that places my vocals right at the forefront \u2014 it\u2019s one of the few songs where you can hear my voice in its most raw and unfiltered form. I felt a deep attachment to it from the very first moment, and it made me want to push myself to deliver it even better.\u201d<\/p>\n Ex Machina<\/em> evokes the uncertainty of relationships. \u201cDo you get me, yeah,\u201d ask the lyrics? Do you get me from the other side? <\/p>\n The visual memo that accompanies this song features a blindfolded Yves as she\u2019s led around by another woman. The two friends\/lovers play together and look at each other from different perspectives, exchanging playful whispers, affectionate gestures and almost giving in to rage. Yves often vlogs with fans and enjoys making visual memos and videos to share with them.<\/p>\n \u201cMy fans mean everything to me,\u201d said Yves. \u201cThey stood by me during my hardest times and truly celebrated my new beginning as a solo artist. When they tell me that my small daily stories brighten their day, it makes me want to share every part of my life with them. If my words or moments can bring them comfort or strength, I can\u2019t imagine a better kind of influence.\u201d<\/p>\n Not only does Yves have a memorably distinctive voice, but the visual memo for \u201cEx Machina\u201d again demonstrates her charismatic screen presence. She has always wanted to try acting.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I first joined Paix Per Mil, my label actually arranged acting lessons for me and even encouraged me to audition a few times to help build my confidence on stage,\u201d said Yves. \u201cI found the process incredibly exciting and immersive. If you\u2019ve seen some of my YouTube content, I\u2019ve experimented a bit with acting\u2014both in a documentary style and in the \u2018Ex Machina\u2019 visual memo\u2014which were such joyful and meaningful experiences for me.”<\/p>\n In the near future, she would like to explore acting more seriously and take on new creative challenges beyond music, but for now she\u2019s focused on establishing herself as a solo artist.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve wanted to be a singer since I was six years old,\u201d said Yves. \u201cMy mom was against the idea when I was little \u2014 she would often scold me whenever she caught me singing or dancing. But after years of persuading her, she finally let me attend a dance academy when I turned seventeen. Now she comes to all of my shows in Korea and watches every single video shared online \u2014 even the ones fans upload. I think it\u2019s safe to say she\u2019s proud of me now. I love you umma.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.forbes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yves recently released the evocative single “Ex Machina.” Paix Per Mil What does it take to succeed as a solo act after being a member of a popular girl group?
