YOUNHA has returned with the 7th full-length album, GROWTH THEORY! This release come almost 3 years since the the South Korean singer-songwriter's previous LP END THEORY. The new record is not only the 2nd part of her THEORY album trilogy, but is also presented in conjunction with the 20th anniversary celebration of her debut.

“It’s the 2nd work of the THEORY trilogy, and I believe this would be the biggest in terms of depth out of the whole series. I hope this album can support those who are sailing each life’s journey while maintaining their values and dreams,” YOUNHA explains.

Continuing the narrative in END THEORY, the new LP explores the growth of a girl who learns by connecting with various subjects along her  journey. The first five tracks of the album - '맹그로브 (Mangrove tree)', '죽음의 나선 (Antmill)', '케이프 혼 (Attention!)', '은화 (Silvering)', and '로켓방정식의 저주 (Curse for the rocket formula)' - describe the fear of a mysterious world and the courage move forward.

The 6th track, '태양물고기 (Sunfish)' is a soaring rock anthem that boldly encourages to stay on the path you truly believe in, no matter what others think or say. Then the last 4 songs - '코리올리 힘 (Coriolis force)', '라이프리뷰 (Life review)', '구름의 그림자 (Part of cloud)' and '새녘바람 (East wind)' - express the discovery of dynamic emotions and new experiences that help shape you into a new person.
