On Wednesday, solo artist Hayeon, who is the sister of Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, finally debuted as a singer following the release of her single track, "Eyes on You."
On its release, Taeyeon conveyed her support and love to sister through releasing a part of Hayeon's music video on her personal Instagram account, with a caption, "Congratulations, my sister."
Taeyeon said on several TV shows that she has an older brother who is one year older and a younger sister who is 9 years younger than her. He also posted a picture of his younger sibling on social media on April 29, showing her special affection towards her.
Earlier, Enterarts, which is the production company of Hayeon announced that "Hayeon's debut album 'Eyes on You,' which was created with a song composed using Artificial Intelligence music technology, will be released on various music sites at 12 PM KST today."
Hayeon's debut song "Eyes on You" was initially written and arranged by an AI technology, and later on, underwent revisions from music writer and composer NUVO. It is also revealed the rookie singer Hayeon participated in the lyrics writing as well.
After revision, Conor Dalton, who mastered famous overseas records such as Daft Punk with the help of American AES gold medalist Kyle Holand has enhanced the mixing and mastering to attain the perfection of the music. Conor Dalton praised it as "the most catchable music I've ever heard of this year."
With the release of the digital single, Hayeon will begin her full-fledged music career and perform a follow-up song later this year. Producer EnterArts established the world's first artificial intelligence record label A.I.M. in 2018, releasing a total of eight artificial intelligence albums, leading the global artificial intelligence music content industry.
Meanwhile, getting to know Hayeon more, aside from being the sister of K-pop icon Taeyeon, she captured the attention of K-pop enthusiasts after being an SM trainee in 2015.
It was confirmed in the same year, following the OSEN report claiming that Hayeon was accepted into SM through an unofficial audition. Her academy, STC Academy which is a famous star training school then announced it to be true.
On the other hand, after the release of her song on various streaming sites, music fans reacted to her skills and talents, and overall, the majority of the comments were positive.
According to a netizen, "She really sounds amazing, I came here for Taeyeon's sister but I will stay for Hayeon."
Another fan added, "I can't wait to hear more of her songs and see her vocal range and prowess."
On the other hand, there are also K-pop fans who are quite worried that she might be compared to her sister, Taeyeon. Nevertheless, people are hoping that she will be given a chance to prove her worth and create her own name as Hayeon in the music scene, without being associated with her sister.
Hayeon, who is a former SM Entertainment trainee and now a solo singer, is a 98-liner idol. With her visuals and vocal potential, fans and netizens are anticipating more of her future activities.
