Seohyun, whose real name is Seo Ju-Hyun, has taken a big step up in her career. 10 years after she debuted as a member of Girls' Generation, the 25-year-old idol has finally made her debut as a solo artist.

Following Taeyeon and Tiffany's successful solo debut, Seohyun became the third Girls' Generation member to debut as a solo artist. She dropped her first extended play titled "Don't Say No" on Jan. 17, Tuesday, Billboard reported.

The mini-album consists of seven tracks titled "Don't Say No," "Hello," "Magic," "Lonely Love," "Love & Affection," "Bad Love" and "Moonlight." The title track is a 90s style R&B pop dance piece, which was penned by songwriters Matthew Tishler and Kenzie.
