Hwang showcased the lead track for the first time through the broadcast and expressed his feelings.

“I was very nervous about singing the song. It’s the song that can recall your memories from the past. I hope it could pierce your hearts as you listening to it,” he said.

Hwang then said, “I’ve wanted to perform my own songs, especially after the concert I had with other singers in October last year. So I thought about releasing an album in winter because I thought my voice fits more with the season, but as it kept getting delayed, I got to drop it in this summer.”

The 34-year-old singer introduced all seven tracks from his latest album and unveiled a behind story while filming a music video for “A Daily Song.”

“It took total of 28 hours to film the music video. It’s been so long since I was a student, so acting as a student in a school uniform was such a burden to me. Acting itself was difficult as well. I even had to cry on cue,” the artist said. “I just wanted to let professional actors to act in the video.”
