Yves is pop’s ascendant experimental cool girl with a rebellious streak. You wouldn’t know it immediately – when NME meets her at her label’s office in Seoul in early April, she’s soft-spoken, almost shy; “I’m nervous,” she shares through a smile early on in our two hours together. But if you look closer at her and her work, you’ll find plenty of subtle defiance and a willingness to, as she puts it, “break the mould”.⁣ ⁣ Right now, the 29-year-old is in the early years of her second artistic life – one that’s driven by her desire to do exactly what she wants. Previously a member of K-pop girl group LOONA, she’s now going it alone and not taking the path expected of her. “I wanted to make the music that I want and be able to share that with the rest of the world,” she tells NME. “I feel like I owe that to myself – to be able to keep trying what I want to do and keep discovering that.”⁣ ⁣ yvesntual is on The Cover.
