June Yun

“그녀가 쓴 앨범 라이너 글로 짐작하건대 타이틀인 깨달음, 깨우침의 의미가 우선은 그녀 개인 차원의 것으로 보이지만 그것이 음악적으로 발현되고 이렇게 구체화한 결과로 만들어지기 위해 꾸준히 정제시키고 또 참여한 뮤지션들에게 보편적으로 이해시키는 과정이 결코 단시일 내에 진행되었을 것 같지 않다. 그만큼 신중하고 또 꾸준하게 공들인 티가 물씬 나는 작품이며, 그런 점에 더해 그녀의 가슴에서 우러난 진솔한 멜로디의 힘까지도 녹여내며 자신의 첫 데뷔작을 성공적으로 갈무리해 내지 않았나 생각된다.”

"The meaning of the album's title, enlightenment and awakening seems to be personal to her, as evidenced by her own liner notes in the physical CD, and I observed that the process of creating this music, making the music speak about the meanings with details within the compositions and arrangements, steadily refining it, and making it understood by the musicians involved in it and bringing out the result could not have happened in a short time. It is a work of careful and steady labor, and in that respect, combined with the powerful sincere melodies coming from her heart, I think she made a successful debut album."
