On June 30, Lee Jin Hyuk shared his thoughts about his solo comeback in an interview released by TOP Media.


Lee Jin Hyuk has just released his new solo mini album "Splash!" and the title song "Bedlam." He said, "Even after I finished promoting for my first album, I continued to show my face in dramas and various variety programs. However, it feels like I can show my new side after returning to my original job as a singer. "

About the track's title, "Bedlam," he explained, "This is a refreshing song with the motto to live your life freely in the style you want. When recording a track, I push my voice to the limit and can't speak for three days."

Besides "Bedlam," Lee Jin Hyuk also helped write five other songs on "Splash!" He said, "'Picasso' is based on the theme of art that emerged from the inspiration of the overflowing genius. I put many famous quotes there, so I thought it would be interesting for listeners to find it all. 'Rivalry' is about fighting with yourself, so instead of being satisfied with yesterday's image in the mirror, you continue to grow and grow. I recorded this song so late that I didn't expect it to be included in the album. "

He continued, "The Playground" was written from the perspective of a child playing in a playground. I share food with song producers and we talk about our childhood memories. We decided to write a song about how it feels when you leave school early because you feel sick, but the pain disappears as you pass through the school gate and look at the clear summer night sky. "

Lee Jin Hyuk shared several stories from the album production. "I shot the album jacket like I was photographing a picture," he said. "We tried many different concepts, so I hope the fans will check it through the album. There have been many incidents on the music video set, but simply put, I tore my pants three times and my shirt once. The staff member told me that this meant that it would be fine. There is also a scene with fire in the Chinese restaurant, and it is very hot. I was soaked in water before going there, but it was so hot that it dried. "

He said that there are similarities and differences between his roles as an actor, musician, and entertainer. "The similarity is that I have an endless supply of energy and I like standing in front of people and doing. If there is a difference, I would say that singer Lee Jin Hyuk tried to show his fans as a person to his fans through his music. Actor Lee Jin Hyuk tries to show something new through a different character than who he is. "

He added, "The fans who supported me were what kept me going. After I finished all my work for the day, before I went to bed, I read the comments sent by fans. When I see comments that anticipate my next work, or support me, I feel the desire to do things well and gain strength. "
