IZUMI

IZUMI is a Japanese soloist under Lemon Labels.

## **Career**

### **Pre-Lemon Labels**

Izumi had taken singing from a young age, with a goal of being a vocal coach very early on. Her mother, fluent in Korean, taught Izumi the language from a young age. When Izumi was 13 she discovered K-pop and was fascinated with the performance aspect of everything. The choreography and style of song was different from the J-Pop groups she had seen. With new inspiration, she started teaching herself dance at home, and worked to perfect her singing.

She auditioned relentlessly and yet didn't make it into any K-Pop centered companies for years, with many judges giving her the critique of not being able to dance well enough. However, her luck changed in late 2021.

Izumi was accepted into Lemon Labels and was immediately transferred to their location in South Korea. She made it into the pre-debut lineup for the girl group VANiLLA but ended up being cut. The CEO herself pulled Izumi aside and told her she thought she would fit being a soloist better, and after a bit of convincing, Izumi believed her. The CEO pulled some strings, and Izumi flew back to Japan to prepare for her debut.

### **2021-Present: Debut With *CHAPTER 1. SIXTH SENSE*, *CHAPTER 2. Lock & Key, IZU-ME TIME***

Izumi made her debut March 6th, 2021, with the mini album "CHAPTER 1. SIXTH SENSE". The album was very well received and sold a total of 341,472 copies. Lemon Labels sent Izumi to many variety shows and promoted her very well, leading to her quick rise in popularity.

Her first full album, "CHAPTER 2. Lock & Key", was released July 25th, 2021, selling a total of 411,342 copies. This album did just as good as her first, a bit more successful even. The album was perfectly timed with her participation on Night Girls album, "Overdrive", leading some netizens to her own songs. Lemon Labels had her promote on a few Korean variety shows and she very swiftly started gaining a following in Korea.

Izumi launched her first podcast (spoken in Korean), IZU-ME TIME, and soon after announced she would start exclusively promoting in Korea.

Jimin (9ANGLES)

## Jimin

Byun Jimin is a singer and composer under Sunrise Entertainment and the lead vocalist of 9ANGLES.

## **Career**

### **Pre-debut**

After graduating from university with a degree in theater and music, Jimin auditioned for many companies in the hopes he would be accepted as a trainee, most of which turned him down because they felt he was too old to train and debut. He finally decided to audition one last time with Sunrise Entertainment, vowing that if he was turned down, he would pursue another career in the industry instead of as an idol. His audition of a mashup version of Beethoven's *Ode to Joy* and Imagine Dragons *Radioactive* impressed Jason so much that he offered to train him personally to pursue a career in music production if Lucas so much as rejected him.

### **2032-2033: Debut with 9ANGLES, *After Midnight***

On March 3, 2032 he debuted as a lead vocalist in 9ANGLES with their debut album *Born Ready*. While he was not involved in composing or arranging any of the songs in the album, fans hope they would be able to see his work in future 9ANGLES albums.

Their wishes were granted in 2033, with Jimin partaking in arranging and composing a song from Astrolight's *Intentions* and two songs from 9ANGLES's *After Midnight*.

### **2034: More Producing Work, Board of Directors**

More of Jimin's work in producing would be showcased in 2034, with Eunha's *spot:light* being the first song he would compose without mentorship.

In May, Sunrise Entertainment announced he had been selected as Nina's replacement in the board of directors upon her contract expiration (separate from her artist contract).

## **Producing and Writing Credits**

 9ANGLES
 **2034** | Eunha

## **Trivia**

* He got Jason's personal number at his audition and found out his result in a video call with both Lucas and Jason because Jason also wanted to offer to train him in music production anyway.
* Piano and cello are his instruments of choice but he knows how to play a little flute.
* His mashup was a last resort to audition and he wasn't really offered that opportunity to be that creative with other companies. Or if he did, they were equally as impressed, but turned him down.
