Here's a playlist with intro + four tracks (five separate audio streams under the cut)

Missing You (intro) featuring Choi Hyun Joon of V.O.S
(kills me that this is the same title as the ZE:A5 intro track)
lyrics

My Heart Says
(this is the lead single, watch the MV on omona here)
lyrics

See Through You
lyrics

Like A Man
(they published a behind the scenes video about shooting the photobook and it's basically an impromptu mv for this song. this one is a jam tbh)
lyrics

One Word
lyrics

SoReal consists of members Byun Jangmoon, Kang Sungho, Ryu Phillip, and Joo Daegeon. The leader Byun Jangmoon originally made his debut in 2008 with the group A’ST1 and has been noted as an idol with great singing ability and also already has a large following of fans. Many are curious as to how he has matured musically.

Their debut album will be titled “So Real Story” carries two different meanings: “their group (SoReal) story” as well as “a story that is real.” V.O.S’ Choi Hyunjoon and other producing teams which includes e.one, hit songwriter Kim Taehyun, Cha Sangmin, Seo Jaeha, and Brian Kim all took part in producing SoReal’s debut album.

Star Empire representatives stated “We’re excited to show off SoReal who are able to make real and sincere music. We hope that many people will have high expectations and and look forward to the real music they will show.”

(I got sucked into watching this episode of Music Core because suju was promoting It's You, 2PM was promoting Again & Again, Shinee was promoting Juliette...)

of course the one I like best is the intro. sigh, I really wanted this debut to be solid, but their company ruined it as usual.
but at least I like their typography???

I really like the graphic design and the imagery, which is REALLY saying something in kpop (see: the identical font used in VIXX hyde, Infinite H, ZE:A Illusion)

kpop likes their Gothic chic grunge

I like SoReal's 'Like A Man' more than their debut song.

LOVE the intro. give me more a capella, kpop *____*

i really like see through you until the chorus. it just sounds like it belongs to another song, but the verses sound really good. like a man should've been the title track tbh. one word sounds like a typical drama OST song but nice still.

Man those days were great...Again and Again, Juliette, and the greatness of It's You

[markthatcoin.livejournal.com]

It's You promotion is HYSTERICAL in comparison to how much I like that song (lol)

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Man...they were so sloppy with the dance...but I laugh everytime Heechul walks out at the end to sing his part...he was not about that dance routine LOL

The good old days of Kangin on vocal line though...

I listened through these earlier while I was cooking and I really enjoyed the songs, though the one they're promoting happens to be the one that appealed to me the least of course 0.o They have some really nice voices though, that intro track is gorgeous!!

A'ST1!!! Talk about (pretty) old school. I still remember 1.2.3.4. Back being pretty darn catchy.
