The record also includes her previously released singles ‘PINK MOON’ and ‘Love or Hate’.“Many of the lyrics have been taken from my actual diary,” Su-jeong added said. “There are many emotions conveyed in the album, but the biggest one is disappointment, especially the disappointment that comes from not being able to fulfil the things you’ve planned out for the day.”‘Archive of Emotions’ is the follow-up to her 2020 mini-album ‘Tiger Eyes’.
