Abracadabra is the song that fits YooA's style to a tee. Bon Voyage is the unique song that would put her over the top. And as of this writing she has won #1 on The Show. Probably one of the fastest wins of any first time Soloist in a field that includes Taemin , Wonho of Astro and Namjoo of Apink.

My friend mentioned that it is hard to get even a single win for first time soloists. Case in point is Chungha and Somi whom despite being recognized nationally in Korea for being part of the super girl group from Produce 101 had to have 2nd comebacks for them to win their first trophy.

YooA was in a very good position for this since her and OMG have been getting a lot of love since Queendom from last year. With Non-stop and Dolphin establishing OMG as a top tier girl group this year WM decided on letting her go solo.

This was not the first time that WM would try and debut a female soloist , they had already tried with Baro's sister who along with her brother is no longer with WM. I guess it was really not the time for it yet. So it would WM time to develop an image and package for YooA to debut.

And craft they did as YooA was always given chances to shine with good parts of every single that OMG came out with. There were times that I wish that YooA could just sing all the parts and she could , yes even the rap parts. So when I heard the highlight medley of her solo album I was ecstatic as this would finally showcase all her talents.

Both Bon Voyage and Abracadabra contains difficult but pretty and catchy choreography. Her vocal range and charm are also on full display here now and I cannot believe my ears that this is finally here. I initially thought that WM would have a Mimi/YooA or YooA/Seunghee subunit but they decided that the time was right for their true first female soloist to emerge.

And emerged she has from that Secret Garden where was so carefully cultivated all these years. In one of her songs YooA sings "I am beautiful". Yes YooA you are.
