Singer Jung Seung-hwan expressed his feelings about releasing a full-length album after about 7 years and 8 months.
On the afternoon of the 30th, a release showcase for Jung Seung-hwan, who is releasing the full-length album Love Is Called after seven years, was held at CGV Sinchon Artreon in Seodaemun District, Seoul.
Jung Seung-hwan rose to public attention after finishing as the runner-up on SBS audition program K-pop Star Season 4 in 2015, and through the title track I Fool from his first mini album Voice in 2016 he conveyed his distinctive delicate sensibility and sincere heart through his tone and won affection.
Love Is Called is a full-length album released about seven years after 2018 and is composed of 10 tracks including Jung Seung-hwan's self-composed song Poom. The album captures memories named "love" that anyone might keep in a corner of their heart, and calmly depicts moments of love that existed for us as feelings, warmth, and seasons. The title tracks are Front Bang and Happiness Is Hard, released as double title tracks.
On the day, Jung Seung-hwan spoke about his mindset on releasing a full-length album after a long time, saying, "I am Jung Seung-hwan returning with a full-length album after 7 years and 8 months. It's been so long since an occasion like this that I'm nervous. Although the full-length album is seven years in the making, I have released singles and mini albums in the meantime. The word full-length carries a certain weight."
Jung Seung-hwan said, "During the preparation process I also felt the weight, and since it's been seven years it seems this will be an album that contains Jung Seung-hwan's musical identity. Many people, including myself, worked hard together. I'm excited, and at the same time worries coexist."
He added, "The fans waited a lot, so I hope the music reaches them well."
In particular, Jung Seung-hwan described today's outfit concept, saying, "It's autumn, and I thought brown is a color that suits autumn. There are blue details on the pants. To show that I have excellent fashion sense, I added an edge to the tie. It's leather but seems like faux leather too, and I dressed like this to show that I'm a fashionable person," drawing laughter.
Meanwhile, Jung Seung-hwan's full-length album Love Is Called and the double title tracks Front Bang and Happiness Is Hard will be released on online music sites today (the 30th) at 6 p.m.
