"I've been just resting since finishing up 'Mix Nine' recently. I've also been preparing a solo album; I'm planning to be active through performances, concerts, variety programs, and etc. I don't think I'll be going on any audition programs this year, but instead will be able to greet everyone through music. I'd like to work hard as I'm in a situation where I need more attention from many people," said Taewoon.

He then added in, "Audition programs are like drugs. I approached them with all my efforts, but I think I'll be stepping forward comfortably as a solo artist."

On the choice of music to listen to during the long drive to distant family homes, Taewoon recommended PENOMECO's "L.I.E".

Lastly, he thanked all his fans for the support he has and is continuing to receive, "I don't think I have many fans, but I'd like to say that I'm always thankful to those who cheer me on. At the same time, I think I need to work harder in order for the fans to wait a little less."
