How a happy accident shaped MISMATCH. 「MISMATCH」を形にした、うれしい偶然。

From Asia to the World — A New Era of Soundアジアのシーンを牽引するアーティストたちとの対話を通して、"アジアミュージック"という未定義のカルチャーに輪郭を与えていく。■ LEE JISOOThe only Korean member of HANA — and, for years, the only person telling her no.JISOO is a Korean singer and songwriter based in Tokyo, one of the seven members of HANA, the girl group born out of "No No Girls," the audition project produced by Chanmina with SKY-HI's label BMSG. Born and raised in Korea, she decided on music in her second year of high school, became a trainee before she graduated — and then walked away from the company she had spent years dreaming of. 2023, the year she spent lost between meetings and doubts, was the hardest of her life; she was close to quitting music altogether when a friend called to tell her about an audition in Japan. She had taught herself the language by watching sports anime. The premise of the show was that every girl in it had been told no by someone; hers, she says, had come from herself. Since debuting with "ROSE" she has played guitar with the band at Summer Sonic and travelled from New York to Australia with the group, and on September 8, 2026 she released her first solo single, "MISMATCH," written in Korean and English with producer Nathan. The title comes from her own slightly mismatched eyes — searching the Korean word for it turns up the sound of clapping, and the song became exactly that: a round of applause for everything about yourself you were told to fix. Its B-side, "Movie Star," is a letter to Chanmina.HANA唯一の韓国人メンバー。そして長いあいだ、彼女に「NO」と言い続けていたのは、彼女自身だった。韓国出身のシンガー／ソングライター。ちゃんみながプロデュースし、SKY-HI率いるBMSGが手がけたオーディションプロジェクト「No No Girls」から誕生した7人組ガールズグループHANAのメンバー。高校2年で音楽の道を決め、高校3年で韓国の事務所の練習生になる。しかし、憧れ続けた場所と、実際にその中にいることのあいだにある差に気づき、自ら退所した。行き先を探しながら迷い続けた2023年は「人生でいちばんつらい年」。音楽をやめることさえ考えていたある日、かつて一緒に練習生をしていた友人からの電話で「No No Girls」というオーディションの存在を知る。日本語は、スポーツアニメを浴びるように観て独学で身につけたものだった。「誰かにNOと言われた女の子たち」のためのオーディション——彼女にとってのNOは、他の誰でもなく自分自身から向けられていた。「ROSE」でのデビュー以降、SUMMER SONICではバンドセットでギターを弾き、ニューヨークからオーストラリアまで、グループでの海外での活動も増えている。2026年9月8日、初のソロシングル「MISMATCH」をリリース。韓国語と英語で書かれ、プロデューサーNathanとつくり上げた一曲だ。タイトルの由来は、左右で形の違う自分の目。韓国語で検索すると出てくるのは拍手の音だった。そこから曲は、直せと言われてきた自分のすべてに拍手を送る歌になった。カップリングの「Movie Star」は、ちゃんみなへの手紙である。■ FOLLOW LEE JISOOOfficial Website: https://hana.b-rave.tokyo/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeesimnidaa/X: https://x.com/HANA__BRAVETikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hana_brave_officialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HANA_BRAVE_OfficialStreaming（1st Single「MISMATCH」）: https://leejisoo.lnk.to/MISMATCH/presavepreaddOfficial Fan Club: https://bmsg.shop/pages/hana-fc-members■ YUGEN OFFICIALWeb Site:http://ygen.net/■ CHAPTERS00:00 Intro01:33 Welcome to the YUGEN Podcast06:52 An only child in a group of seven10:45 Where the music started — and the teacher who told her not to17:03 Becoming a trainee, and walking away from the company she dreamed of19:15 "The one saying no was me"24:12 A solo trip to New York, where nobody cared30:17 Learning Japanese from anime34:48 The solo single "MISMATCH"46:58 Hearing "ROSE" for the first time54:20 Learning to be herself again59:05 Left on a mountain road63:30 Five years from now■CREDITSYUGEN Production Committee―MC: Sara GiustoGuest: LEE JISOOCreative Producer:Yamato MiyakeArt Department:ONSA Inc.Art Director:samiArt Department Coordinator:Riku MatsuseEdit:4thclue Inc.Production:OASIZ Inc.
