Seulgi releases thrilling concepts for her solo debut album, '28 Reasons'

On September 13, SM Entertainment dropped the album trailer of Seulgi's October release, '28 Reasons' (aka '2NE8 Reasons'). The album will be released on October 4 and will contain a total of six tracks including the title song '2NE8 Reasons'. Unlike the colorful, girl crush image Red Velvet's usual concepts show, it is anticipated that Seulgi's solo debut album will show a thrilling and more mature concept that is different from her usual music color.

The recently released album trailer alongside the concepts has triggered fans into drawing cinematic parallels between Seulgi's releases and popular thriller projects like the Thai drama, 'The Girl From Nowhere.' Fans are also calling Seulgi an arsonist as the trailer of her upcoming solo album shows her surrounded by fire and destruction that is leading them to believe that the album is her way of telling fans that the old cheerful Seulgi is gone and a new, more mature idol has arrived with the new release. 

'Why is Seulgi's budget so high?'

Fans are going gaga over Seulgi's new album trailer of '28 Reasons' as one said, "So no one was going to tell me Seulgi is putting on a solo album with a cool ass concept. Like i just saw it omg it looks so good." One more fan asked, "Why is seulgi’s budget so high?” Another fan theorized, "SEULGI DEFINITELY K WORDED HER OLD SELF AND NOW WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT THE 28 REASONS WHY SHE DID THAT (theory about seulo)." One fan said, "My scaredy ass reading theories abt 28 reasons album trailer."
