The singer Chuu is preparing to touch the hearts of young audiences with her upcoming third mini album, 'Only cry in the rain'. On April 9th at midnight KST, her management company ATRP released a teaser image on their official social media pages, mesmerizing fans with a distinctive and emotional visual concept.
The teaser image features a phrase asking viewers to select all images related to the album 'Only cry in the rain', resembling a CAPTCHA verification screen. Nine fragmented image tiles appear like memory puzzle pieces, giving off a nostalgic 1990s vibe. This artistic representation cleverly ties in with the album's central theme of "memory" by presenting a contemporary and interactive way of recalling emotions.
The visuals depicted include symbolic scenes such as a vintage clock showing midnight, an abandoned umbrella on a rainy street, a girl walking alone in the rain, and a cat sitting on a windowsill. While these scenes don't provide a clear storyline, they collectively evoke emotions that prompt viewers to reflect on their own memories. Additionally, a photo of Chuu in tears adds to the intrigue and emotional depth.
Named “CHUU’s Rainy Memories”, the teaser invites listeners into the emotional realm of Chuu, encouraging them to recognize and connect with their own related imagery. This concept harmonizes perfectly with the album's core theme of memories and emotions resurfacing during rainy days. Through this innovative storytelling technique, Chuu aims to forge a deeper, more introspective bond with her fans.
With each new album, Chuu showcases her growth as an artist through thoughtful storytelling and innovative visual concepts. Her solo persona continues to develop as she embraces more daring themes in both her music and visuals.
Chuu's third mini album 'Only cry in the rain' is scheduled for release on April 21st at 6 PM KST on all major streaming platforms.
