Singer Younha is set to release her repackaged album, Growth Theory Final Edition, on major streaming platforms at 6 PM on the 14th, reconnecting with fans through her evolved sound. This repackaged album, following her seventh full album Growth Theory released in September, promises to deepen the narrative of Younha's unique musical journey.

Younha’s seventh album originally depicted an epic journey with a girl, a sunfish, and a yacht, exploring the theme of growth. In this repackage, she expands on the theme by recognizing the limitations of solitary growth and addresses the transient nature of all things, while also exploring enduring aspects of life. These reflective messages are set to elevate the album's artistry.

The album's title track, "Point Nemo," refers to an isolated spot in the Pacific Ocean where decommissioned satellites are set to descend. Younha creatively unfolds a story of unexpected encounters in what was thought to be the loneliest place, delivering her profound narrative through a lyrical band sound that is sure to resonate deeply with listeners.

Another new track, "Quasar," incorporates piano and rock elements to showcase Younha's distinctive style. This song features the group Epex on backing vocals, who previously collaborated with her on "Oort Cloud" from her sixth album End Theory released in 2021.

Additionally, a third new track, "Gitteukhae," is included, where Younha expresses appreciation for all who have joined her on her journey. The repackaged album combines these three new songs with ten tracks from her seventh album, totaling thirteen songs, creating a comprehensive musical experience.

This year also marks Younha’s 20th debut anniversary, a milestone celebrated through the Theory trilogy, with Growth Theory being the third installment. Following the repackaged album, Younha will perform at her year-end concert Growth Theory, held from December 15 to 17 at Seoul’s Olympic Park KSPO Dome.

The year-end concert series will continue beyond Seoul, with additional performances in major cities, including Songdo Convensia Hall 4 in Incheon, Daegu EXCO East Hall 6 on December 14, and BEXCO Hall 1 in Busan on December 25. This concert tour is expected to cap off Younha’s milestone year, offering fans a powerful and unforgettable experience.
