just Min Emerges from the In-Between with Intimate, Cinematic Debut EP ‘Molten’

In a debut as vulnerable as it is sonically striking, Korean-born artist and producer just Min offers a soul-baring first chapter with his EP Molten. A delicate yet powerful blend of indie pop, alternative R&B, and ambient storytelling, Molten was born from the ashes of deep personal loss and emotional upheaval. Through five aching, confessional tracks, just Min turns grief into art, mourning the death of his grandmother and a close friend, while also confronting betrayal from those closest to him. “Every song is something I had to let go of,” he shares. “Molten is about learning to sit with the fire of transformation, even when it burns.”

Drawing influence from genre-defying artists like Frank Ocean, Bon Iver, and Joji, just Min occupies a unique space in the alternative pop landscape—fluid, introspective, and richly textured. The EP’s cinematic intimacy mirrors the emotional complexity of coming-of-age while caught between cultures, identities, and realities. Raised between Seoul and Hong Kong, the artist’s songwriting feels suspended in that “in-between,” where quiet reflection becomes a universal language. The lush production, paired with his haunting vocals, unfolds like a memory—delicate, deliberate, and deeply human.

With early acclaim from Wonderland and Notion and over 600,000 Spotify streams already to his name, just Min is quickly carving out a place among today’s most emotive new voices. Molten doesn’t ask for attention—it earns it, with honesty that feels both devastating and healing. It’s an EP for anyone who’s ever found themselves lost in transition, clinging to music as a lifeline. And for just Min, it marks the beginning of a career defined not by perfection, but by presence.
