Adora

Park Soo-hyun (; born September 25, 1997 ), professionally known as Adora , is a South Korean singer, songwriter, and record producer. She made her debut as a soloist on November 5, 2021, under Aura Entertainment with the digital single "Make U Dance", featuring Eunha of Viviz. In 2022, she released her debut EP Adorable Rebirth. Prior she wrote and produced songs for various acts including BTS, TXT, GFriend, Fromis 9, and Chungha.

Career 2012–2014: Early beginnings Adora began singing and writing songs at an early age.

She joined Stardom Entertainment as a 14-year-old in 2012. She trained with the South Korean band Topp Dogg, co-composing the song "Playground" from their debut EP Dogg's Out, released in 2013. She left the company for unknown reasons and subsequently joined Music K Entertainment in 2014, where she trained with members of the South Korean group The Ark, but did not make it into the final lineup.

2016–2020: Working as a music producer In 2016, she auditioned for Big Hit Music's "Next New Creator", where she made it past the second round, but turned down the offer because she was still a trainee with another company at the time. Nevertheless, Big Hit sent her some tracks for BTS' sophomore album Wings, including "Interlude: Wings", which became her first professional songwriting credit under the name Adora. Among her other earliest works were the singles "Spring Day" and "Not Today" on BTS' repackage album You Never Walk Alone (2017). After leaving her previous company, she joined Big Hit when they invited her to become an in-house producer.

As a producer for Big Hit, she co-wrote songs for TXT and GFriend. Although she had a good relationship with the company, she left the company in 2020 because she felt she wasn't contributing enough creatively.

2021–present: Solo debut with Adorable Rebirth and solo activities On October 25, 2021, media outlets announced that Adora had signed an exclusive contract with Aura Entertainment. She officially debuted as a singer on November 5 with the release of the single "Make U Dance", in collaboration with Dingo Music. Adora made a spontaneous decision to feature Eunha of Viviz on the single, in order to include a different voice in the song. In December, the Recording Academy spotlighted Adora as one of five K-pop songwriters and producers who "defined 2021" by making a mark worldwide. She was also named by NME as one of several new artists to watch in 2022.

On March 7, 2022, Adora released the single "The Little Name", inspired by some of her childhood memories, including certain people whom she missed from that time. An animated music video loosely based on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince accompanied the song. On June 1, she released the single "Trouble? Travel!" Adora appeared on KBS2's Music Bank to promote the single, marking her first performance on a weekly domestic music show. On June 3, Adora had a partnership with South Korean street fashion brand Nerdy, becoming a "Nerdist" to promote the NERDY 22SS SUMMER GRAPHIC COLLECTION. In July, the U+Idol Live music variety show Sing in the Green confirmed that she would be a cast member, which premiered on July 27. She released three songs during her time on the show: "Together Forever" featuring Kim Dong-hyun on August 24; a solo track, "The End of Eternity", on September 14; and "Sing in the Green" featuring the entire cast on September 28.

On September 26, Adora released her debut extended play (EP) Adorable Rebirth. The nine-track EP included her three previously released singles and six new songs, including an instrumental version of the lead single "Magical Symphony." She held a showcase for this release at the Ilji Art Hall in Gangnam, Seoul. On the same day, South Korean vegan bag brand Marhen.J announced their collaboration with Adora. In early October, Adora participated in the Mnet survival show Artistock Game, but was eliminated in the eighth episode, right before the semi-final round.

On August 21, 2023, Aura Entertainment confirmed that Adora would join SBS's survival competition show Universe Ticket, which will be premiered on November, as a mentor. She released "I'm Here for You", described as a "healing" song, for the show on December 28.

On September 27, 2024, Adora held her first fan concert titled "ADORA's 1st fancon : Dear Hearts Hotel" at Onmam Theater, Hongdae.

2026–present: Debut with OWIS On March 23, 2026, South Korean virtual girl group OWIS (acronym for Only When I Sleep) debuted with their debut extended play Museum. Adora is hinted to voice a member on the group, presumably Summer since its contributions on the extended play was listed under the former's code on KMCA.

Personal life Adora revealed that she had thyroid cancer and underwent surgery at 23 years old (Korean age). It became a turning point in her life, pushing her to realize her dream of becoming a singer once again.
