When you went solo, was it about being free of expectations or was it more about personal success?

I get this question a lot, and I always say that I came out as a solo artist to become a better artist, not to simply become successful. I’m now less exposed to the public because I don’t go on TV appearances as much as I did before. That’s why I debuted as a solo artist during a concert last November.

Is that related to why the name of the concert was True?

I came up with that name because I literally wanted to share my real feelings, for example, why I broke out as a solo artist and what could I bring to my fans? During the concert, I shared a video that captures my ups and downs of the past year.

How did the fans respond to your first solo concert?

I liked my fans’ reaction because they were like “Hyolyn went through so much in just one year” not like “the concert was great.” I also purposely changed the set list from Sistar hit songs to my solo songs to show my musical journey. The members also came and told me that they cried watching the video.

In your music video for “Dally” you seemed adventurous.

Right. “Dally” certainly has something that Sistar’s Hyolyn would never do. But it’s hard to describe in words because I’ve released only one track for now.
