Boy group EXO member Chen (Kim Jong-dae) returned with the fall
It will be his second solo activity with a new album of warm love stories.
Chen met with the press at 3:00 pm at the Seoul 24th Hall, Yes 24 Live Hall, to hold a press recital to commemorate the release of his second mini album 'Dear my dear'. The exo colleague Sehun was in charge.
"I prepared the album while thinking about what I wanted to say and what I wanted to say during the blank period. It was a tight side to launch a new album in six months, but I was able to finish the work well."
Chen, who became a member of EXO and EXO-Chenbaeksi, gained global popularity and made her first solo career in April with the release of her first mini album 'April, and a flower'. At that time, Chen made a successful solo debut by becoming the top domestic and international music chart with the songs in the album.
"I've received a lot of love that I haven't thought of since the release of the first album. So I prepared the second album with gratitude. I prepared it with the mind that 'I should give back the love I received', not 'I should do what I wanted to do.'"
The album, which opens the second act of solo singer Chen, has a total of six songs. Earlier, SM Entertainment announced, "It will be enough album to meet the music sensibility of mature singer 'Singer singer Chen'."
"When I released my last album, it was the season of spring. This time I prepared a song that suits the season of autumn. The concept is in the form of a letter. If I think a little bit more in the process, I would like to see my heart.
The title song 'Shall we?' Is a retro pop song that contains the honest and tender heart of a man who doesn't want to break up with him late at night. Sehun smiled on this song, introducing "Kai's favorite song among exo members."
"It's a romantic melody and emotional song. When I first met this song, I was excited and happy. I was still young, but I felt the memories and nostalgia. I wanted to share my feelings with many people. I chose the song as the title song, and I took a lot of effort to do a lot of crystal recordings.
"I was so loved by the ballad genre during my first mini album, so I wondered if it would be okay to play ballads. Then I came across the genre of retro pop, and I was happy to be new. Also reflected. "
Among the songs, Brit pop song 'My dear', which depicted a beautiful love story, was Chen's song.
"I was here with Kim Jae-Hwi, composer of my first mini album, 'Flower'. I wrote my answer to the question 'What is a beautiful parting?' The lyrics are about parting, but they are more beautiful. I tried to see it. "
In addition, the album contains a longing and comforting message for a loving lover, 'Amaranth', and a medium tempo acoustic song that expresses the warmth and relief of holding a loved one. (Hold you tight), the ballad song 'You never know', which contains confession to someone you love, and the ballad song 'Good night', which delivers a warm healing message.
"I showed a lot of glamorous looks at EXO activities, but for Solo Chen, I want to approach with honesty rather than splendor. In that sense, I think the keyword of this album is honest. Of course, the burden of the love I received last time, and the burden of what happens when (the grades) were lower than that, of course, was released over time, and I honestly, thankfully prepared the album (even if it wasn't good) Is not there "
Chen releases all songs from the album at 6 pm on the same day and starts his second solo career.
"I felt love once again as I prepared this album. I hope many people are happy. I hope you have a lovely day. (Smile). Please listen and listen to each song and comfort me. I hope to be a loved and loved person.
