Hello, it's Young-woong.

In just a few days, the winds have turned cold, and it feels like autumn is rapidly approaching, making it a bit chilly to wear short sleeves. Our major holiday, Chuseok, is just around the corner. I hope you all have made many happy plans for the extended holiday. In celebration of Chuseok, I cautiously wish to present a gift to all of you.

After the Chuseok holiday, as the weather turns chilly and we find ourselves in the midst of autumn, my first mini-album is scheduled to be released. I wanted to share the news of this painstakingly prepared album with all of you first. I've worked hard to ensure the songs won't disappoint, given the anticipation. I hope you look forward to it.

During this Chuseok, enjoy delicious meals, make wishes upon the full moon, and spend a joyful time with your loved ones. The temperature difference is significant these days. Always be careful not to catch a cold.
