A trip to Japan with Minju, "A schedule combining work and travel"

Singer Kwon Eunbi shared glimpses of her relaxing vacation life in Japan. On the 21st, Kwon Eunbi posted several photos on her social media (SNS) with the caption, "仕事兼旅行です (It is a schedule combining work and travel)."

In the photos, Kwon Eunbi showcases a style pairing a yellow sleeveless top with vintage jeans against the backdrop of a residential alleyway in Japan. She is seen walking naturally with sunglasses perched atop her head. Accompanying her on this trip was Minju, a fellow member who promoted with her during their Iz*One days. The two displayed their close friendship by wearing matching black sunglasses to create a similar vibe. Kwon Eunbi captured joyful moments in the local setting, such as smiling while holding paper flowers amidst a landscape of blooming trumpet creepers or making playful expressions while holding dorayaki.

From 'Summer Queen' on stage to 'N-jobber' running a cafe

Kwon Eunbi's presence on stage is unrivaled. Having gained massive public popularity as the 'Waterbomb Goddess' every summer season in recent years, she has established herself as a 'Summer Queen' and an 'icon of chart reversal' on the Waterbomb stage since 2023. Her live vocals and performances, featuring songs like 'Underwater,' 'Door,' 'Beautiful Night,' and 'Hello Stranger,' are constantly talked about among fans.

Alongside her glamorous stage presence, her solid asset management skills are also drawing attention. In 2024, Kwon Eunbi purchased a detached house building located in Songjeong-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Having revealed through the MBC variety show 'Omniscient Interfering View' that she personally scouted and purchased the building, she has also shown her side as an entrepreneur by running a cafe on the first floor, managing everything from menu composition to operational details.

From Iz*One leader to solo artist

Kwon Eunbi's musical journey began in 2014 as 'Kaju,' a member of the girl group Ye-A. Later, through Mnet's 'Produce 48' in 2018, she was selected as a member of the project group Iz*One, where she led the team as the leader. Following the conclusion of Iz*One's activities, she moved to Woollim Entertainment and has been building her own musical world by steadily releasing music releases such as her first mini-album 'OPEN' in 2021, followed by 'Color,' 'Lethality,' 'The Flash,' and 'SABOTAGE.'
