अच्छा एल्बम है, सभी गाने मजेदार हैं। पैकेजिंग कुछ हद तक खराब थी लेकिन मैग्नेट बढ़िया लगता है। फोटो कार्ड्स भी दिलचस्प हैं और मैंने दो अच्छे ही पाए। बस शिपिंग थोड़ा देर में आई थी।

I was really excited for Yuqi’s first mini album YUQ1 and it did not disappoint! The title track ‘Freak’ showcases her unique style and versatility, blending catchy beats with a bit of attitude. The entire album is solid, with standout tracks like ‘My Way’ and ‘Red Rover’ that have been on repeat for me. Yuqi truly delivered a fantastic solo debut!
