Former LUNAFLY member Han Seung Yoon, now known by many as contestant #17 from JTBC's 'Sing Again' season 1, revealed his thoughts on debuting again as a solo artist, nearly 10 years after his first debut.
On the afternoon of February 15, Han Seung Yoon held an online showcase to commemorate the release of his 1st mini album, 'Lovender'. The album release marks Han Seung Yoon's solo debut approximately a year after his appearance on 'Sing Again', where he initially garnered attention for his handsome visuals. After his appearance on the singing competition show, Han Seung Yoon went on to sing OSTs for various dramas, returning to promotions once again.
Now, Han Seung Yoon will be kicking off his solo career with the release of his 1st solo mini album later today on February 15 at 6 PM KST. First, regarding his title track "Lovender", Han Seung Yoon commented, "It means the end of love. It's a song which contains the message that if my love with you ends, then there will be no love like this again in my life. 'Lovender' was chosen as the title track after taking into consideration reviews and critiques from many different people. But as soon as I heard the demo version of 'Lovender', when it didn't even have any lyrics, it spoke to my heart. It was a sound that I have never attempted before, but a sound that I would have liked to perform with my band. I was hooked by its grandiose sound."
Han Seung Yoon also answered what he has been up to lately since 'Sing Again'. He said, "After the show, I felt that I needed time to hone myself before I greeted the public again, so I took pilates lessons and also worked on a lot of music." He also added on, "'Sing Again' was a program that received a lot of attention, and I think because it was a show that families watched at home, I was recognized by people of various generations after the show aired. I would go to a restaurant to eat, and they would recognize me and give me extra food as service... On 'Sing Again', I made headlines as a singer with good visuals. When I was younger, I was disappointed that people focussed more on my looks and did not listen to my music. But now that I am older, I am just thankful to even hear people compliment me for my looks. I hope to be remembered as an artist who is handsome, and who can also sing well."
Finally, Han Seung Yoon expressed, "Just the title of 'Sing Again' in itself carried so much meaning for me. A program that allowed me to sing again, it would not be an exaggeration for me to say that it allowed me to live again. I am that grateful for the program, I cannot depict my gratitude in words."
Meanwhile, Han Seung Yoon's 1st mini album 'Lovender' contains a total of 6 tracks. You can check out the singer's "Lovender" title track MV teaser, below.
yun!!!! i hope he does well. his voice is so lovely and lunafly really didn't get much attention. although as he said, even on singagain, often his appearance was focused on... he's handsome, but it's a shame that it's what was spoken about most often - especially when he mentioned how thrilled he was to be playing guitar on stage again and so on, and they just spoke about how he shared a resemblance with some actors.
