Following the expiration of her contract with MNH Entertainment, Chung Ha addressed the fate of her shelved album, ‘Bare & Rare Pt.2’. The record was intended to be the second half of her July 2022 studio album ‘Bare & Rare Pt.1’, but will no longer be released.
“After sharing the news that I wouldn’t be able to keep my promise regarding the release of ‘Bare & Rare Pt. 2,’ I didn’t know how to speak up to you all or from where I should begin conveying my apologetic heart, so after thinking lots, I am bringing it up like this now,” she told fans.
Chung Ha first came into the spotlight in 2016 after appearing in Produce 101 as an MNH Entertainment trainee, later debuting in the project girl group I.O.I. Following the group’s disbandment in 2017, Chung Ha dropped her first solo material and, in 2021, shared her debut album ‘Querencia’.
In a five-star review of that record, NME wrote: “The 25-year-old singer goes far beyond those hopes, producing a record that bursts with energy and excellence. If its title refers to a place where you can be your true self, then this album reflects its creator as a curious, confident and passionate artist whose songs help make the world feel that little bit bigger again.”
Chung Ha isn’t the only high-profile signing More Vision has made this year. In April, Jessi joined the agency after leaving Psy’s P Nation.
