「東方神起」ユンホ、1stフルアルバムでカムバック
TVXQ's Yunho (U-KNOW) returns with his first full-length album... What will ”The Fourth Lesson” be like?
TVXQ's Yunho (U-KNOW) has returned with his first full-length album in 22 years since his debut. On the 5th, he held a concert at the Grand Ballroom of the Sofitel Ambassador Seoul Hotel in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
A press conference was held at the lounge to celebrate the release of Yunho (U-KNOW)'s first full album, "I-KNOW." On this day, Yunho (U-KNOW) said, "I'm happy to be releasing this album with some good news after a long time."
I prepared a program for the fourth lesson. I think the first time is always the most exciting thing. I was asked by many people if the fourth lesson was coming out.
"I want to tell people to compare music and documentaries," he said, and made everyone laugh by changing the lyrics of "Thank You," a song that recently made the Hot Topic list.
He continued, "I wanted to literally tell a story about myself with this album. The image that the general public sees of me is that of the artist Yunho (U-KNOW).
"If I were to do that, I thought I would pair a documentary in which I look at myself, and that both sides of me could be the perfect version of myself, so I came up with this idea," he explained.
Yunho (U-KNOW), who released his first solo album 22 years after his debut, said, "In terms of timing, some people think, 'I should have released it sooner,' but
I could have acted cool when I was younger, both physically and mentally, when I was popular. However, I thought that I could gain more empathy by telling my own story.
I was the member with the least singing parts, but at some point, my range of singing expanded to the point where I was able to greet the audience as a solo singer.
It took time. In my case, there were probably a lot of things that were going on. I thought that now, having accepted and overcome those things, wouldn't it be the best thing?"
This album is based on the concept of "Fei & Documentary" and has one theme, "Fei" and "Documentary".
The songs are unique in that each song is paired with two lyrics that express gazes, and it is expected that viewers will be able to enjoy an even more expanded musical world of Yunho (U-KNOW).
He said, "A total of 10 tracks have been recorded. Starting with the intro, the Fei version track, the documentary version track, and the remaining out tracks are being prepared."
"I've shown many different sides of myself over the past 20 years, but it seemed like I was talking about an artist who is of interest to the general public. What kind of message can I send out?
I'm worried about this, but people like the bright and healthy image of Yunho (U-KNOW). If that's Feik, I wonder if he was struggling with the stage until he showed that image, and now he's honestly not blaming himself.
"I think I can take on a responsibility, so I prepared like this," he said. Kai from EXO and Minnie from i-dle participated in the featuring on this album. Yunho (U-KNOW)
"If Yunho (U-KNOW) and Kai met, people might say, 'Won't they show us an incredible performance?' Because both of them have a strong image of performing. But now
Since this episode is a documentary, I wanted to emphasize the vocal aspect. Kai's voice is beautiful. I brought in the R&B genre that was popular in the 2000s, and I wanted to express how Kai and I are who we are.
"When I was working with Kai, I didn't know he was such an ambitious person. When it comes to songs, the voice is really strong.
He has a beautiful voice that is very appealing. We recorded it many times. I intentionally chose difficult parts. I thought that when I did that, many fans would be able to get to know Kai's charm.
Kai's MBTI is I, but he was so proactive that the recording went smoothly." He also praised Minnie, saying, "Minnie's unique singing voice has a dark quality, so I thought it would be good to sing "Premium" together.
"' is a song that needs to be bright. It has a unique brightness to it. I learned a lot from Minnie on how to take good photos. I learned a lot from her, like the cat pose and the ribbon heart pose."
"Later, I met Bae Jin Young recently and thought he was pretty cool. I think he released his first solo song. He's been working hard and has been like a kid, but now he seems to have grown into a man.
"It was great to see him portray the character in different ways. I think I'll contact him someday. I'd also like to act really cool with Rain senior," he added, raising expectations.
Yunho (U-KNOW) said, "The title song 'Stretch' is in the pop genre, and I was the bassist when I was in the a cappella group 'TVXQ'. I'm going back to my roots again."
I wanted to find a song with an appealing bass. I searched for a song that could express that appealingly, and I thought that "Stretch" would be a good title.
There are clear differences between "Language" and "The Song of the Day," and there are many parts where the lyrics are the same but contrast each other. That's why I think they're paired."
He continued, "I made a lot of changes to the dance so that people can feel proud that Yunho (U-KNOW) has made progress even in SMP.
I think we've done a lot of greetings with them, but I came up with a dance that could be used for memes. I think it's something that people can enjoy watching on stage."
Yunho (U-KNOW) received a lot of love for the "Thank U" meme. He said, "I received more love than I expected. I started it as a joke, but I wonder how it went."
I think it's important to accept it and express it in a fun way. Many people helped me so that it would go well and I could express those parts well, and I also found it fun to watch."
It was a 9-year-old music video that looked like a movie, and he was enthusiastic about expressing himself in philosophical terms. I have a nephew (niece) who is in elementary school, and he wrote "Thank You"
I think he was grateful that another nickname was created. (YouTube
