Ryo Mitsui, who gained attention on PRODUCE 101 JAPAN and was a member of the Japanese-Korean boy group NIK, continues a wide range of activities including modeling. Beginning his solo career as YORO, he releases his first single “OKYORO” on October 27.
The producer is GOLD DIGGA, whom YORO describes meeting as a twist of fate.
GOLD DIGGA has worked with numerous artists, including on BAD HOP’s signature track “LifeStyle,” whose video has 30 million views, and 炒炒’s hit “Night Dream,” presented through 03-Performance.
YORO will also join the next-generation creative collective led by GOLD DIGGA,
New Young City, as a crew member.
His debut “OKYORO” will be presented as New Young City’s first release.
This solo debut combines a flute melody with GOLD DIGGA’s
distinctive 808 sound and a driving trap beat. The song captures
YORO’s urban sensibility and the sensitivity developed through traveling across Asia
in its lyrics and flow.
