CNBLUE's Jung Yong-hwa is marking his 10th anniversary as a solo artist with the release of a new album.
On July 3 at 6 PM KST, Jung Yong-hwa will unveil his third mini-album 'One Last Day' on major music platforms, along with the music video for the title track 'Night Runner (Shooting Star)'. As he celebrates a decade of his solo career, here are three reasons why his new album is highly anticipated.
#. The Return of 'All-Rounder' Jung Yong-hwa on His Solo 10th Anniversary
Jung Yong-hwa embarked on his solo journey in 2015 with his first album 'One Fine Day'. Now, on the occasion of his 10th anniversary, he returns with a new album after a two-year hiatus, showcasing his expanded musical prowess through numerous self-composed tracks.
Notably, Jung Yong-hwa has been involved in every aspect of the album's creation, from songwriting to concept, visuals, and the music video, embodying the essence of a 'complete artist'.
#. The Most 'Jung Yong-hwa' Album Yet: Mini 3rd Album 'One Last Day'
With this album, Jung Yong-hwa reaches the pinnacle of his production skills. Excluding the instrumental 'INTRO', he has put his touch on every track, ensuring a high level of completion.
The title track 'Night Runner (Shooting Star)' metaphorically describes shooting stars carrying people's wishes as 'Night Runners', reflecting the life of a celebrity who becomes a source of strength and dreams. The song conveys an honest message that, although they may one day disappear from the night sky, they will remain forever in people's hearts.
The album also includes a variety of genres with tracks like 'WOULD YOU', 'Almost Forever', 'Espresso Martini', 'Love me baby love me (LMBLM)', and 'RED', heightening anticipation.
#. A Diverse Array of Live Performances Ahead
On the night of the album's release, Jung Yong-hwa will debut his new songs live during the 'Night Live Session'. He will also perform live at his solo concert held from July 18 to 20 at the Olympic Hall in Seoul's Olympic Park.
By promising vibrant live performances immediately following the album's release, Jung Yong-hwa is building excitement. This activity, seamlessly connecting the album's overall concept with the concert, allows fans to experience his deep and sophisticated sensibility throughout.
