Explained simply
WayV is a pop group formed by South Korean company SM Entertainment, with members who promote mainly in Chinese-language markets. XIAOJUN is one of its vocalists, and has also released music connected with television soundtracks.
A mini-album is a shorter collection of songs than a full-length album. A solo release gives a group member room to present music under their own name, while still being part of the group.
XIAOJUN has said he wants his music to offer comfort and encouragement. That aim provides context for the themes of healing and support described in *Hey, Somebody*.
