***AGASSY*** (Korean: 아가씨, RR: *agassi*, Lit: "Miss") is the first and debut release by South Korean singer SOOJIN. It was released on November 8, 2023, with the title track "AGASSY".

## Background

On October 16, 2023, media outlets reported that Soo-jin had signed an exclusive contract with BRD Communications, and was in preparation for her solo debut before the end of the year.

Soo-jin's debut, along with her stage name "SOOJIN", was officially announced on October 26 with the release of a trailer. The album and music video for the title track were both released on November 8.

On November 7, media outlets reported that SOOJIN had achieved the filming of a dance performance video for M2's program, *STUDIO CHOOM*.

On November 10, BRD Communications stated that SOOJIN would not appear on music broadcasts for the album, and would mainly promote through SNS and overseas activities.

## Description

On November 8, SOOJIN released her first EP, "AGASSY" marking a new beginning.
As this is her first album as a solo artist, she focused on capturing her unique charm and strengths. It's a colorful mix of images that best represent her as an artist: seductive but clean, charismatic and mysterious.
The title track of the album, "AGASSY" is a charming song with a strange feeling of passing between the past and present through oriental-sounding instruments. In addition, the lyrics poetically expressing a beautiful scene of a woman dancing mysteriously among red flowers and SOOJIN's performance featuring fine dance lines harmoniously combine to further enhance the song's completeness.
In addition, a total of six tracks of various genres, including "FLOWERING" "Sunflower," "TyTy," "SUNSET," and "bloodredroses," were included in the album, making it a fun album to watch and listen to, not only because of SOOJIN's outstanding dance skills, but also because of her clear voice and delicate emotional expression.

As SOOJIN has always been highly talked about for her overwhelming stage presence, this album will further solidify her presence as a solo musician.
