GYB: Oh you just said yourself that it's going to be your 1st album
after confirmation last week that jonghyun will be making a solo comeback this summer, he hasn't exactly held back on dropping hints about it.


the biggest hint before the confirmation came a few days before the comeback confirmation when jonghyun was kind of beating around the bush in terms of explaining why he'd suddenly dyed his hair. besides this, he had been dropping subtle hints in the weeks beforehand, such as: comments about being busy in the recording studio, how he was basically reviewing base, and also a mention of practicing choreography at sm before a blue night broadcast. during the first broadcast after confirmation, trusty go young bae (of the band soran + also massive shawol) was able to sneak some information out of jonghyun. jonghyun confirmed that his upcoming album will be "different" from his previous. they also "fooled around" in stating that the lyrics on the album will be "as dirty" as the lyrics on base were. (whether or not jjong was actually joking though ..., we'll have to wait and see.)
minus the obvious (ie: artists that are solely soloists like boa, kangta and zhang li yin), this will make jonghyun the second sm idol (who originally debuted from within a group) to release a full lengthed solo album, following taemin's press it.

Date: 2016-05-03 11:37 pm (UTC)I'm very excited about this being a full album this time. I hope it has a wide variety of genres and great songs.
I also hope he finally gets all the attention he deserves this time. Op 1 and all his collaborations were totally overlooked :/
