I'm so glad he was able to debut somewhere else. I didn't even realize he left Hunus entirely. His stage name tho...

Love his voice so much. ♥ Song itself isn't so attractive to me, guess it'll grow on me after a few tries. Hansol is such a sweetheart for supporting his debut though. He never fails to promote all ex members' activities. Angel ;__;

I like the song while it's playing but it's kind of forgettable once it's over for me. I'm just so happy he's free though. How he was removed from Topp Dogg to Underdogg will always be sketchy to me.

Same. Also, the way they treated Cavan. I wish Topp Dogg as a whole could leave Heinous Ent. but that's going to happen :/ It makes me sick to watch their company manipulate them like this.

Same. I'm really disappointed that the hype they had over the summer(even if it was just a little) pretty much died because they weren't given a comeback to capitalize on it. And it's ridiculous that they aren't even doing anything on v app either.

Exactly.

I thought this was a monstax's I.M solo track and I was so confused lol

TBH despite how the punctuation marks are used & how the names are spelt & sounds different especially written & spoken in Korean, it'll still throw everyone off.

everything surrounding td is so depressing tbh

Same here! I was hoping the times he was gone due to injury was only temporary & I'd been able to see him when Topp Dogg had their U.S. tour. Sadly it was true & as much as I love Topp Dogg, it wasn't the same. :( I do miss him along w/ Gohn & Kidoh with Topp Dogg. ToT

Super happy that Hyunho (I'M) finally got to debut again. I've been waiting ever since he officially left Topp Dogg. He was my Topp Dogg bias & ever since he left, Topp Dogg wasn't quite the same anymore. Hopefully Dream Tea will treat him better & do a better job promoting him.

Normally I'm not into slower, ballad-like songs, but he pretty much nailed it & his vocals are great for such songs. ^^

I do need to get used to referring to him as I'M as Seogoong will always be embedded in me.

Lastly, the name will throw some Monsta X fans/Monbebes off since I'M & I.M are very similar. If read & spoken in Korean, it's different. I just hope Monbebes/Monsta X fans don't attack him. As a Monbebe myself I'd be really disappointed. I just hope my fellow Monbebes will focus more on supporting Monsta X instead of attacking him because of his stage name.

I think when he left, Gohn could have made up for his vocals. They sounded similar to me in a lot of Topp Dogg songs but then Gohn left also so you could really tell something was missing vocally(not that their current vocals are bad, you can just really tell the difference).

I agree. The song definitely suits his vocals. It grew on me throughout the day as I came back to it.

As far as I saw from a lot of the youtube comments, there was confusion but they still liked the song/him. I didn't see anyone attacking him(though this was earlier closer to when it was released).

My main problem with the stage name is that trying to search for him might be difficult if using English without the hangul.

I couldn't agree more! I felt like Gohn & even Hojoon took over his parts & filled in the missing vocal parts. Somehow I thought Gohn's & Hyunho's vocals were different & I could tell them apart. Yes a chunk of the strong vocal parts were missing once Seogoong & Gohn left Topp Dogg.

*Whew* Thank goodness there were no attacks on him & I surely hope it stays that way. The confusion part was expected though.

I agree it'll be a pain trying to search him up. It'd almost be better either using his real name Hyunho or typing in Hangul.

YES FINALLY.
