Group INFINITE member Kim Sungkyu has unveiled part of the concept for his new album, kicking off his comeback in earnest.
Billions released the first teaser piece for Kim Sungkyu's sixth mini album, "Off the Map (OFF THE MAP)," on its official social media on the 2nd.
In the released photo, Kim Sungkyu completes a calm atmosphere in an emptied black-and-white space composed only of walls and a floor. Standing under the light hanging from the ceiling or sitting on a chair and staring straight ahead evokes both restrained emotion and immersion.
In particular, the light-and-shadow staging that contrasts with the monotone images reminiscent of rough film texture more vividly captures Kim Sungkyu's distinctive aura and seizes the eye. His gaze, expressed calmly rather than overly showing emotion, and his natural poses heighten curiosity about the new music he will present through the new album.
Earlier, Kim Sungkyu stirred fans' curiosity by uploading a shrouded scheduler along with the phrase "OPEN ANYTIME!" This photo was also released as a continuation of the empty scheduler promotion, maintaining the anticipation.
Kim Sungkyu's solo album release comes about 2 years and 8 months after his fifth mini album, "2023 S/S Collection," released in June 2023. Having prepared carefully for a long time, attention is focused on what kind of mood Kim Sungkyu, who will showcase a musically evolved level through the new album "Off the Map," will bring to the music scene.
Kim Sungkyu's sixth mini album "Off the Map" will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on March 2.
