        He mentioned that although he did not participate in the production of 'I Can Live Just Fine Without You', he chose it as the song that has to be included in this album. The melody, lyrics and collaboration with HYNN were perfect and he loves how it just falls together perfectly.

        Carrying on, the singer chose 'Blue Moon' as the track people should listen when they are feeling down or when it is raining. It is the track that allows you to embrace the sad feeling.

        To lighten things up, he also recommends 'Is it a flower?' (literal translation) when people take a shower.

        'I Wouldn’t Look For You' is a track that talks about how two people promise to not look for each other even though they had broken up but still have feelings. It is a love song and a track that expresses the emotions when missing someone.

        Make sure to check out the music video below!

        He pointed out that one of the memorable scenes when filming the music video was when he got drenched from the rain. It was very cold but he had to endure it so that the filming could be done.

        As the press conference continues, Kim JaeHwan also answered questions that were sent in to him earlier.

        He was asked about what were the changes he felt as he prepared for the mini album. Answering the question, he mentioned that he tried to identify how he can do his best and how to perform on stage in a way that is unique to himself. He wanted to show off a different image and hence put in the effort in making these changes.

        For instance, he had went on a diet, exercise and even grew out his hair!

        While preparing for the mini album, another change that he made was learning how to let things he cannot control out of his hands. The reason behind is because of how comfortable and relaxed he felt as he did not need to worry about things he cannot control.

        Since there is also a lot of male solo artists who are making a comeback in April, Kim JaeHwan was asked about his opinions. He shared that he does not see it as competition at all and rather felt that all of the artists are cool.

        In addition, he shared that he is closed to UP10TION's Lee JinHyuk who had also made a comeback a few days ago. They keep in contact with each other and also support each other's music!
