According to her agency, Standard Friends, on the 13th, SUMUN will release her second full-length album, “dinnermode,” at 6 p.m. that day via various online music platforms.
Soo-min debuted in 2015 with the single “It’s Gonna Get Hot,” and while also working as a producer, she has collaborated with numerous popular K-pop artists such as IU, Kiki, and Red Velvet.
This marks her first full-length album in eight years, following the release of her first album, “Your Home,” in August 2018.
The album features nine tracks she produced herself.
Her agency explained, “This album explores themes such as the moments when the temperature gradually shifts—like the time between the end of the day and bedtime, or the transition from being with someone to being alone—as well as the love, boredom, jokes, and silences that exist in between.”
They added, “Sumin was meticulously involved in all aspects of the visual content, consistently infusing her own unique style and taste throughout the album,” and urged fans to look forward to it.
