All the three songs were composed and written by Kim, and feature lyrical melodies along with his stories, according to his management agency Antenna Music.

The first and the second track express longing for his family and hometown, and the last one features harmonious vocals with his fellow label singers Lee Jin-ah, Jung Seung-hwan and Kwon Jin-ah.

Several teaser clips for the upcoming album had been uploaded on his official social media accounts, attracting much attention from fans.

Three years ago, the 18-year-old singer arrived in Korea with the aspiration of becoming a singer from the U.S., and captivated audiences with his talented guitar play and emotional voice on “K-pop Star.”

The second part of the album will be unveiled in mid-April.
