Jang Wooyoung held a YouTube live session to celebrate his exciting solo comeback and engaged in meaningful communication with fans.
Jang Wooyoung released the digital single 'Simple dance' on June 23 at 6 p.m. and sought to connect with fans as a solo artist. To commemorate his domestic comeback after about 7 years and 5 months since his second mini-album 'When We Part' in January 2018, he hosted a live broadcast on the 2PM official YouTube channel at 7 p.m.
First, Jang Wooyoung said, "It took a really long time. I came back with the new song 'Simple dance', and I'm sorry for making you wait so long, and thank you for waiting. I thought you might have many questions, so I prepared this live broadcast as the first activity for 'Simple dance'."
In the past, Jang Wooyoung shared his beloved things with fans through signature live communication contents like 'LP Listening' and 'Dancing'. He brought these contents back as segments in this comeback live, creating 'Song Listening' and 'Dancing' times and shared various stories about the new song.
He noted, "Before my discharge, the writer Super Chang Thai sent me an audio file titled 'Simple dance'. At that time, there were only lyrics saying, 'Just simple dance' in the track, but from the first time I heard it, I loved it and didn't want to change it. People would say, 'Jang Wooyoung has to dance,' and having 'dance' in the title was nice. It took me a month just to write the melody. I listened to it a lot before the release, but I never got bored; it makes me want to dance every time I hear it. It's a song I love very much and want to listen to with fans," introducing 'Simple dance'.
He then said, "After a difficult time has passed, I wanted to express the wishes and hopes to move again and fly high as if nothing happened in the lyrics. I wanted to convey that small movement to you and feel it together. While creating it, I healed myself a lot, and I hope those listening can feel the same way."
Jang Wooyoung showcased the key choreography of 'Simple dance,' displaying his charm as a 'born dancer'. He shared behind-the-scenes stories of the music video, replied thoughtfully to the many comments pouring in, and spent intimate time with fans. As he wrapped up the live, he said, "I will greet you through music broadcasts. As you have waited for a long time, I will work hard to fill our time with music and dancing as Jang Wooyoung."
'Simple dance' is a synth-pop genre song that likens the desire for bright shining moments after the cold time we had to a spark-like dance. From the title, it harmonizes perfectly with the 'performance master' Jang Wooyoung, capturing attention. He also participated in the lyrics and composition, showcasing his 'singer-songwriter' capabilities. As Jang Wooyoung demonstrates his talent and flair in various entertainment programs, his comeback as a singer colors the early summer of 2025.
