[Review] YENA’s ‘Blooming Wings’ – A Vibrant Return with Bright Energy

After a short break, YENA is back—and we’re excited to dive into her new music, which radiates her signature charm and vibrancy. Let’s get into her newest release: ‘Blooming Wings’.

Blooming Wings

The mini-album opens with ‘Drama Queen’, a rich and playful track filled with delicate instrumentals and standout sectioning. The dynamic structure makes this a powerful and intriguing opener.

Next comes the title track ‘Being a Good Girl Hurts’, carrying serious anime OST vibes. The instrumentals are gorgeous—light, vibrant, and bubbly—perfectly framing YENA’s sweet, expressive vocals. The music video captures that same playful energy with a manga-writer storyline and an adorable cameo from Lee Do-hyun. Watch it here:

‘Hello, Goodbye’ follows with softer acoustic tones. The magical mixing and delicate back vocals bring an emotional depth to this pretty, reflective ballad.

A true standout, ‘Anyone But You’ featuring Miryo of Brown Eyed Girls, is a nostalgic trip back to early K-pop. With its dramatic flair, intense mixing, and killer progression, it’s easily one of the strongest B-sides.

Closing out the mini is ‘364’, a pop-rock gem that blends witty lyricism with bright instrumentals. It’s catchy, fun, and the perfect wrap to a beautifully cohesive release.

YENA once again shows off her charm and growth with ‘Blooming Wings’, a release that sparkles with personality and musical depth. Dive in and enjoy this lovely mini-album here.
