Twenty-four hours later, it was revealed that Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon will be making her much-awaited solo comeback under the name ‘HYO’, with her first mini album! Titled ‘DEEP’, Hyoyeon’s mini album will be released on May 16 at 6 pm KST (2:30 pm IST).

On May 9 at 8:30 pm IST, the agency dropped a ‘Mood Clip’ for ‘DEEP’, with text that reads, “If I overcome disparagement by others with humility and modesty, it becomes the driving force for further self-growth. If you like and enjoy what’s your own without being swayed by others’ standards, then that becomes the standard of the world. This is my power that no one can take lightly.”
