Face (EP)
2022 EP by Solar
Face (stylized as 容 : FACE) is the debut extended play (EP) by South Korean singer-songwriter Solar, the leader of Mamamoo, released on March 16, 2022, by RBW.
Background and release
On February 22, 2022, the first teaser for Face was released. It shows a face motion logo of Solar's new EP Face. The EP title was inspired by the hanja 容, pronouncing yong, from the singer's real name Kim Yong-sun. She described the concept of Face as her true and sincere self, as well as an appreciation towards self-love, uniqueness, and beauty, "just as the faces of people living in the world are all different, each and every one of them is precious." In particular, as her face reflects emotions and the path that person has walked, Solar plans to show various colors of music by comparing her sincere thoughts, feelings, and values.
The lead single "Honey" was written and composed by Solar, Kim Do-hoon, and Seo Young-bae. An accompanying music video for "Honey" was released simultaneously with the single. "Honey" is a witty and kitsch song about how people tempt her sweetly, just like bees bring honey to the queen bee.
Track listing
Critical reception
容 : Face has been met with positive critical acclaim from reviews. NME critic Rhian Daly gave the album a 4 out of 5 score, and stated "‘容 : FACE’ captures Solar's energetic, bright and breezy personality well. The rap verse on ‘Honey’ is a particular highlight that showcases her dynamism, while the mini-album as a whole pops with little vocal details that subtly elevate the songs." In addition, Honey has been listed as one of the 'Best K-pop Track of 2022' by British magazine Dazed.

Why this record matters
“Face (EP)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Face and Solar provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q111324559. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
