Back when she was rattling off power notes with GFriend, I considered Yuju to be one of my favorite vocalists in K-pop. However, vocals don’t matter much without great material to showcase them and her solo career thus far has been mired in a lack of musical ambition that’s quite frustrating.

But listening to That’s That, all I can do is think about other boy groups. FNC Entertainment can’t seem…
