South Korean indie artist, Singer talks to Tatler Hong Kong about her new song with Day6’s eaJ, Dive With You and her upcoming performance for Head In The Clouds at the LA Music Festival
Despite only debuting last year, South Korean indie R&B and alternative pop singer, Seori is rising to the ranks of artists to watch out for. Known for her flavourful voice, powerful collaborations, whimsical cover arts, songs that explore loneliness and isolation, Seori is building a world of her own and ushering us to experience it with her.
Possessing the hallmarks of a star in action, Seori—born Baek Sohyun—has been writing and composing her own music since she was 19, launching her YouTube channel in 2019, which cultivated a dedicated following and eventually, a contract with Warner Music Korean under artist collective, Atispaus. Since then, the singer-songwriter made a name for herself, gaining support from the likes of BTS’ Jungkook, Tomorrow by Together (TXT) whom she recently also just collaborated with for 1x0=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) and of course, Day6’s eaJ.
Tatler Hong Kong chats with the indie singer about her new song Dive With You, working with eaJ, debuting during the pandemic and her upcoming performance for Head In The Clouds at the LA Music Festival.

Tell us more about your new song with eaJ.
My new song, Dive With You (feat. eaJ) is about a pure and passionate love between two people. I wanted to create a refreshing song that portrays two people’s eagerness to get together and be there for each other no matter what. This became a more meaningful song because Day6’s eaJ is featured in it.
You’ve worked with eaJ before with It Just Is. How did the collaboration first come about? How does it feel working with him again?
In the very beginning, eaJ approached me first and wanted to do some collaborative work with me. At that point, I was like “for real?” And, that’s actually how It Just Is came about. I really like and admire eaJ’s voice tone so for my new song, Dive With You. I asked him if he could be featured in the song and luckily, he said yes!
With this new song, what message do you want to send to your fans?
This new song again is all about a passionate and pure love between two people. I think this summer along with last year’s summer were quite difficult times for a lot of people. I was hoping that my new song, Dive With You which has a refreshing tone and sound could rejuvenate and re-energise my fans.
