Group SF9 member Inseong fired the starting shot for a successful solo debut with fans.
Inseong held a mini live to commemorate the release of his mini album 1st album 'Crossfade:' at Ilji Art Hall in Seoul on the 14th. This mini live, held immediately after the album's release as a meeting with fans, left an even more special meaning.
Inseong selected the title track 'Mute is Off' from his first solo album as the opening song, filling the stage with rich vocal power, delicate expression and band sound, raising the atmosphere at the venue. He went on to say the reason for holding the mini live was, "Rather than a stiff feeling, I prepared it as a performance to enjoy. I wanted to present every stage live."
Inseong spent time closely communicating with fans, sharing album behind-the-scenes stories and music tales in between. Introducing his first solo album 'Crossfade:' he said, "It's an album that contains the emotions I honestly felt," and added, "I wanted to capture the mixing of emotions in this album, so I thought a lot about the track list," revealing his mindset during the album's production. About his first self-composed song 'Mute is Off' he said, "It's a song that sits between 'real me' and 'covered me.' I hope this song can erase the shards of your heart. It can be comforting and I wanted to give some fighting spirit."
That day, Inseong performed all the songs included on his first solo album in all-band live, from the title track 'Mute is Off' to 'In the middle of loving,' 'Banquet song,' 'The memory you dyed,' and 'You were there then, I'm here now,' fully proving his diverse vocal spectrum. Through this mini live, he premiered the new song stage and gave fans an unforgettable moment.
At the end of the mini live, Inseong said, "While preparing this album, when I thought, 'What is the thing I love most and do best,' it was singing. I prepared the album with the hope that you would listen to that message," and added, "I don't know how today passed. It was such a nerve-wracking time that I can't remember anything. Thank you," sharing an affectionate impression. After his exit, responding to continuing encore requests, Inseong reappeared and passionately sang the title track 'Mute is Off' once more, giving his all until the end.
Having successfully finished the mini live, Inseong will perform his first music show stage as a solo on the cable channel Mnet's 'M Countdown' today (15th). In addition to premiering the new song 'Mute is Off' on the broadcast, he will appear on various music shows, content and festivals and vigorously begin his solo activities.
