No matter where you are in the world or what kind of music and genres you have found yourself enjoying or even discovering for the first time, for a lot of people there’s always something that hits home and just makes us feel safe in some way. Often times within this, there’s always those who enjoy digging into the music process, stage directing and learning about the process/ making of something like that. Personally I to really enjoy researching, talking and learning about people’s different tastes and the history of different artists, I think it gives you a little more insight about the artist and why they write their music the way they do or how they interact with their fans / listeners. It really does give you that different view.
The same goes for people who work within the industry in various countries across the globe and the massive teams that work behind the scene for us. This is the same for my beloved artist Park Jisoo. He is a South Korean American born in 1993 of June and professionally known as Nlve.
He would debut underneath the name of Nlve with his first single [ Getaway ] back in 2018 before actually making his Korean debut with the song [ Like a fool ] back in April of 2020. You might actually recongize him for being in the top 9 contestants of Superstar K 6 while also working with different artists such as EXO, EXO’s Chen, Paul Kim, Sam Kim, Jeong Sewoon and even working on and proudly being apart of the team that made BTS’s beloved and well listened to song ‘Blue & Grey’. Throughout this time Nlve would make his own name known within the industry, often interacting with fans like I have never seen before, even asking them for help and to create their own fan logos, voting and interacting with the fanbase (lovingly called Nlverse), and getting fans to vote for the top three logos of his choosing for his official logo.
Originally entering the scene with his debut singles, the artist is slowly becoming known for his relatable lyrics, impressive vocals and tearful yet stunning lyrics in songs like Liberated/ Who I am, Tired, party without u, 2 Easy to Escape. The songs themselves respectively hitting thousands to sometimes millions of listeners with each release or collaboration. There’s no doubt that Nlve always works hard and take cares of his fanbase, he’s always shown his passion for music and his busy schedule with constantly releasing hits after hits.
He released his first EP back in 2021 entitled [ Broken Kaleidoscope ] which contained the following and well beloved fan tracks, some tracks on the album previously released as singles: Escape, Maybe I wanna Die, I’m Alive, Perfect Dancer and To: My Dear friend.
Since then, he has been booked and busy with different promotions, taking part in OST (Original SoundTrack) works and more then ever before, releasing numerous singles in 2024 alone while also releasing two more EP’s. [ THE INFORMATION ] was released back in July of this year while he would later release [ Love & Memory ] just before releasing his latest [ FINE 365 ]. Which consisted of the 5 following tracks: Fine 365, Favourite Drug, DAWY (Drive Away With You), DEMnO and Lost to U (it also included instrumental tracks).
You can find Park Jisoo/ Nlve on your favourite music streaming, video or social media platform.
