'Resignation' song featuring Kian84's voice trends immediately upon release

In this track, Soyeon showcased her unique musical color by participating directly in the songwriting and composition. Notably, webtoon artist Kian84 participated as the narrator, enhancing the song's immersion. The video drew rapid responses from viewers immediately after its release, proving once again that Soyeon's musical spectrum has expanded.

The lyrics are filled with honest and bold sentences that represent the feelings of office workers. Lyrics such as "I'm quitting, I have nothing to regret" and "I never intended to live this hard originally" provide a strange sense of liberation to those exhausted by daily life. The image of coolly packing up bags after enduring hundreds of instances of patience delivers catharsis to listeners.

"I will become a romantic grandmother"... A message toward a life without regrets

Moving beyond a simple declaration of resignation, the song contains a philosophical attitude toward life. Through the lyrics, Soyeon sings, "In the end, we will all become grandmothers, and looking back, today was a romantic day." Even if current choices may seem immature, her determination to not regret if she can call today 'romantic' when looking back in the future stands out.

Items mentioned as bucket list goals—such as traveling around the world, becoming a novelist, and singing with a peaceful mind—vividly depict the free life dreamed of after quitting a job. This message goes beyond a simple catchphrase, evoking deep empathy from those who affirm their current lives and choose today for their future selves.

This project led by Soyeon achieved high quality alongside Pop Time, Daily, and Likey. Within the context of the project 'Awesome Life,' Soyeon is once again drawing the attention of the global fandom by unfolding her own narrative through music.
