ステージ復帰を目指すソルジ（EXID）

EXID Solji, currently undergoing treatment for illness, features in Primary's new song... "Her health is improving"

It has been revealed that EXID's Solji, currently undergoing hiatus, will feature in Primary's new song.


Banana Culture Entertainment said on the 17th, "We have been discussing with the artist about Solji's return, who was temporarily suspended after being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease) at the end of last year," and revealed that Solji will feature in Primary's new song.


They continued, "Solji is currently unable to perform broadcasting activities or perform strenuous choreography, but her condition is improving greatly, and she was trying to give back to her fans who have been waiting for her for a long time, and a good opportunity has arisen for her to feature in Primary's new song."


They also asked, "EXID's future activities are being considered in various areas, so we ask for your interest and love."


(From K-POP News)


Solji was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease) and has been taking a break from group activities since the end of last year to focus on treatment.


However, she recently appeared at the "EXID ASIA TOUR IN SEOUL 2017" concert held at Yonsei University Baekyang Hall.


She went on stage, hugged her fellow members, and greeted the fans in the venue with a cheerful voice, delighting them.


A YouTube video of the event has also been uploaded.


This spring, when EXID made a comeback with their title song "Night Rather Than Day," both the album and the performance were generally well-received.


But to be honest, it was lonely without Solji.
It was lacking without her unique, soaring voice.


This is not limited to any one person, but a group of 4-5 people loses its balance when one person is missing.


This is especially true for EXID, which is made up of members with strong personalities.


Fortunately, "Night Rather Than Day" was a sad song.


It stuck in my mind because it overlapped with Solji's absence.


Every time I saw this stage, I thought of Solji fighting her illness.


I wondered if they would continue to promote with an album like this without Solji next time... I predicted that it would be a failure next time.


★"Currently, Solji is unable to perform on TV or do intense choreography, but her condition has improved greatly, and she was trying to give back to her fans who had been waiting for her for a long time, and a good opportunity arose to feature her in Primary's new song."


I felt sad that Solji was not making a comeback with "Night Rather Than Day."


However, it was probably her who was most disappointed.


She may have pushed herself a little too hard at that time, which hindered her recovery.


I hope she doesn't push herself too hard.


★When I was talking about "Night Rather Than Day," I had a sudden thought.


Perhaps Wonder Girls' "Why So Lonely" was a big hit in part because it marked the final chapter of the group's activities?


The flow of the song from the previous chapter, where they showed incredible momentum, to the difficult middle chapter, to the final chapter, where members left and were replaced, was like reading a poorly written novel.


At some point, they found themselves standing gazing at the sunset.


What were they thinking at that moment?...


I heard that "Why So Lonely" was written by the girls themselves, not by professional songwriters.


As I listened to this song, I was reminded of various songs and performances by Wonder Girls from the previous chapter to the final chapter.


The melancholic melody, as if looking into the distance, seemed to follow their autobiographical story.
