On Tuesday, Nam announced that he would release his first EP in two years on April 11. He reportedly participated in writing all the songs and lyrics for the EP and personally recruited all the staff working on the EP.

Born and raised in the US, Nam made his first television appearance in Korea in 2011 on the second season of the MBC music audition show “Star Audition: The Great Birth,” where he made it to the top five.

He was named Man of the Year by GQ Korea in 2016 and was included on Forbes’ “30 Under 30 Asia” list last year. Nam also held a concert series in New York and Atlanta in August last year.
