Irene of the girl group Red Velvet released her first full-length album, \u201cBiggest Fan,\u201d Monday.<\/p>\n
The 10-track album is set for release at 6 p.m. across major streaming platforms, alongside a music video for the title track on SM Entertainment\u2019s official YouTube channel, SMTOWN. <\/p>\n
A special live broadcast marking the release is also being held on Irene\u2019s YouTube channel and Red Velvet\u2019s TikTok account, starting at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n
The album arrives roughly 16 months after Irene\u2019s solo debut mini-album, \u201cLike A Flower.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irene said the album is about learning to believe in yourself.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to convey the message that your own biggest fan is yourself,\u201d she said in a press release.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt that we become stronger when we trust and support ourselves \u2014 it’s something I wanted to say to my fans and to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added she focused heavily on the album’s overall narrative, ensuring the tracks form a cohesive sequence from start to finish.<\/p>\n
Among the 10 tracks, Irene singled out \u201cDon\u2019t Wanna Get Up\u201d and \u201cMillion Miles Away\u201d as personal favorites, describing them as pop songs with contrasting styles. She also pointed to \u201cLove Can Make A Way\u201d as an autobiographical track.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s a song that carries a message from my past self to who I am now \u2014 one that holds both a sense of remorse and gratitude for everything I\u2019ve been through,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
On the title track\u2019s choreography, Irene said the performance was crafted to fully convey the song\u2019s mood and message.<\/p>\n
\u201cRather than focusing on any one move, I hope people take in the performance as a whole,\u201d she said, adding that she worked closely with her dancers during rehearsals to ensure their expressions and gestures are in sync.<\/p>\n
Irene is also scheduled to embark on her first solo concert tour, though no dates or venues have been announced.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to reconnecting with fans in different ways after such a long time,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cI hope to create many meaningful memories together in each city.\u201d<\/p>\n
