Yours Truly,  Whee In: An Ode From An Artist to Her Fans
It’s an hour shy of midnight when Jung Whee In joins Rolling Stone India over a Zoom call from South Korea. Despite the odd working hours, the vocalist embodies the textbook definition of elegance. Donned in a grey oversized blazer and a red blouse, with her hair neatly tucked away in a bun, I can't help but marvel over how she remains cheery at this time when most of us outdo our best dishevelled look.

I'm going to be a lot busier starting tomorrow, she informs me, referring to January 18th, when the promotion cycle for her second EP, WHEE was scheduled to begin. So far, It feels like a warm-up session.

I smile, wondering whether the words are from the seasoned professional habituated to the grueling post-album promotion cycle or from a triumphant artist so eager to promote one of her best records to date that she began her press interactions a day before the promotion period was to officially set in motion.

Following her debut in 2014 with the K-pop girl group MAMAMOO (one of the most sought-after groups in the industry, celebrated for their live vocals), Whee In has blossomed into an artist with a myriad of talents. Considering the group's vast discography, spanning three albums, 11 EPs, and Whee In's endeavors as a soloist which includes two EPs and a singles album, the vocalist is undoubtedly a gift that keeps on giving.

Resting on a bed of dreamy vocalizations with a blanket of words woven into poetry, delineating emotions only your heart recognizes; Whee In's artistry is on par with an exquisite heirloom worthy of passing down to your next of kin.
