Yeonjun, Mini 2nd Album Q&A..."I'll show you my true self!"

[Dispatch=Reporter Lee Myung-ju] "I want to be more honest with myself and become more authentically me." (Yeonjun)

TXT's Yeonjun demonstrates his 'Yeonjun core.' On the 10th at 1 p.m., he releases his second mini-album 'NO LABELS: PART 02.'

This new album is the second chapter of 'NO LABELS.' It is an album that shows Yeonjun as he truly is, without the modifier of being a TXT member.

A total of 6 tracks are included. Along with 'Ice Cream,' the album features 'Vanilla,' 'Even If I'm a Little Clumsy, Let's Try Again,' 'No More Disco,' 'X King Star,' and 'Long Way Long Ride.'

He arrives with a more refined 'Yeonjun core.' Yeonjun was involved throughout the new album's production. He is credited with choreography creation for 'Ice Cream' and as lyricist for 2 of the album tracks.

His growth can be felt. If the first mini-album showed the potential of a solo artist, the new album reveals a more expanded musical spectrum.

'Ice Cream' is Yeonjun's version of a summer song. It depicts a relationship where they are sweet to each other but maintain a certain distance. It is set to color this summer refreshingly.

<The following is a Q&A commemorating the release of Yeonjun's new album>

Q. Your feelings about presenting the second 'NO LABELS' album

I felt a lot of pressure, but I prepared with excitement at every moment. I haven't forgotten the thrill from when I first heard the songs. Just like my previous work 'NO LABELS: PART 01,' showing myself as I truly am remains the same, but this time I wanted to include more diverse music and a more relaxed, chill side of myself.

Q. Explanation of the album composition and why you chose 'Ice Cream' as the title track

Since the previous title track 'Talk to You' was so intense, there was a lot of deliberation in choosing this title track. I even thought, 'Do I need a stronger impact?' But after finishing the recording, I felt I made the right choice in selecting 'Ice Cream' as the title track. It is the song where my color comes through best in this album. I think it's a song that can show both my outer and inner sides.

Q. An episode from the performance preparation process

I wanted to create choreography that was cool yet intuitive. At the same time, I thought a lot about showing you a picture that wasn't clichéd. I especially think the post-chorus section turned out well, so I'm looking forward to how you'll receive it.

Q. Your feelings about participating in the lyrics for 'Even If I'm a Little Clumsy, Let's Try Again (Baby Wassup?)' and 'Long Way Long Ride'

'Even If I'm a Little Clumsy, Let's Try Again (Baby Wassup?)' was written fairly naturally as I imagined how I would approach someone I was interested in if I were that person. On the other hand, 'Long Way Long Ride' is a song that contains the difficult emotions I was feeling at the time of creation without filter. Since I was used to hiding my emotions, I remember it wasn't easy to express myself honestly at first. (laughs) I'm happy to be able to present lyrics with my thoughts in this album.

Q. Points to appreciate about 'NO LABELS: PART 02'

I think all 6 tracks are killing parts to the extent that it's difficult to pick just one. It would be even better if you listen comfortably in track order. Above all, I want to show my authentic self while enjoying this activity.

Q. Your goal for this activity and a word to MOA (fandom name)

Rather than setting grand goals, I hope I can grow a step further. I want to use this album as an opportunity to be more honest with myself and become more authentically me. Most of all, I'm grateful to MOA for waiting so long. I hope 'NO LABELS: PART 02' becomes music that you can listen to and enjoy comfortably. Thank you always and I love you. <END>
