As WINNERŌĆÖs group activities were halted with Lee Seung Hoon and Kim Jin WooŌĆÖs army enlistments, Kang Seung Yoon began preparing for his solo album. He took King of Mask Singer by storm in the first half of last year and starred in the drama Kairos in the latter half, while simultaneously working on the solo album despite his busy schedule. The artist wrote, composed, produced all tracks in his full-length solo album, as well as taking care of the music video himself. He also shared the progress of the work through his SNS for the fans who have been waiting for a new song for a long time.

Kang Seung Yoon has been loved by the public for his uniquely sophisticated music as he demonstrated range through WINNERŌĆÖs albums. Expectations are high on what new music he will bring to the table as he returns as a solo artist instead of WINNER. Source (1)
