Album Information

Soon after the release of Ophelia's debut Korean single Heartstrings it climbed quickly onto top of the charts and critics warmly supported her work. Giving an average 87% of approval, in terms of her vocal abilities and style. Rumors were quick to say she has a mini album as a planned follow up debut work sometime this year. In February 2012, a week after the release, in a 10Asia exclusive first interview she personally announced the album has been titled as Map My Mind but no other details were released.

The album was reported to be recorded during the same time of her debut Japanese mini album in studios in both Japan and Korea. Originally all of the five tracks were composed and produced by Ophelia but officials deemed them to be unsuitable for the Korean mainstream market taste and pulled out four tracks. Popular South Korean ballad trio 8Eight worked on a song especially for Ophelia and was later put into the album. Indie artists VRose and solo singer Tae Jun are featured as guest artists. All of whom were confirmed to be volunteered to participate to be part of the album. The recoridng process took three weeks but the musical making took as long as six months.

On March 21, 2012, officials confirmed the news and said the album will be released sometime in April, however there will be no active promotions as Ophelia will be away overseas for her filming activities. In early April due to personal reasons, Ophelia paused all of her music releases. There were no set release date during the time. Almost six months later in October her officials confirmed an mini album release and eventually released the track list and album ocver over the course of two weeks. It was scheduled for release on October 30 but on the day of the release, just two hours before hand, her company withdrew the planned release and postponed the album indefinitely.
