Woo-young from boy band 2PM said he is happy to be back with a new album.

In an interview Monday in Seoul, the Korean singer said, “Although I feel pressured because it’s been a while since my last album came out, I’m trying to enjoy the moment.”

His last solo album was released 5 1/2 years ago. Woo-young is to release the album “Time to Say Goodbye” on Monday at 6 p.m. The title song “Ttuk” is a rhythmical song that illustrates the sentiments after a breakup.

Woo-young said the expression “Ttuk,” which means “please stop crying” in Korean, may sound a bit childish, but he followed JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin-young’s advice to change the lyrics for the better.
