Singer Jo Kwon, returning as a solo artist after eight years, has revealed a provocative album jacket.
On the 25th, Jo Kwon raised excitement for his comeback by revealing the album jacket for his new single "Like I Do," which will be released on the 27th, via his official social media.
In the revealed jacket image, Jo Kwon immediately captures attention with a bare-chested, well-defined back that highlights his tattoos. Against a rough yet vintage space, his natural look as he focuses on something and the kitschy typography combine to fully convey the free and hip charm embodied in the new song.
Earlier, Jo Kwon drew attention by sequentially releasing diverse concept photos three times from the 18th to the 23rd, foreshadowing a visual transformation.
The hot streak of pre-listen content from top stars continues day after day. Following Gain, (G)I-DLE member Soyeon, and JYP, SHINee's Onew, actor Kim Min-seok, INFINITE's Kim Sungkyu, miss A's Min, S.E.S.'s Bada, Gongwon and other senior and junior colleagues in the music industry were added in large numbers, continuing a relay of praise for Jo Kwon's new musical attempt.
Especially Gain, who once received much love as a virtual spouse with Jo Kwon on the MBC variety show "We Got Married," said, "Kwon's voice doesn't seem the same. His musical style has completely changed and it's so cool. I laughed at first when I heard the first lyric 'they say my footsteps are unusual,' but as it went on I was surprised by the hip feeling I hadn't heard before," and added, "Honey, fighting, it's an album coming out after eight years so it'll be a huge hit," drawing attention.
Jo Kwon's new song "Like I Do" is a track that carries a strong inner message of walking steadily at one's own pace rather than matching others' gaze. Global K-pop producers who have worked with groups such as IVE and NCT DREAM — Mathilde Nyegaard and Noak Hellsing — joined to complete a pop sound that highlights Jo Kwon's refined sensibility.
The single "Like I Do," opening a new chapter for Jo Kwon, will be available on various online music sites from 6 p.m. on the 27th.
