A Release Party with an Ice Cream Truck
On the 9th, the day before the album release, a release party was held at Layers Studio 11 in Mapo-gu, Seoul, to showcase Yeonjun's new songs for the first time. Members of Tomorrow X Together attended the event to support their fellow member's new beginning. Matching the vibe of the title track, Yeonjun met fans in an unconventional manner, arriving in an ice cream truck.
Candid Emotions Captured Through Self-Choreographed Dance and Lyrics
This mini album, 'NO LABELS: PART 02', features a total of 6 tracks, including the title track 'Ice Cream', 'Vanilla', 'Baby Wassup?', 'No More Disco', 'Fxxking Star', and 'Long Way Long Ride'.
Yeonjun directly participated in creating the choreography for the title track, pouring his reflections as a performer into the work. He shared his thoughts on the choreography, stating, "I struggled to present a vision that was intuitive yet not cliché." He also took an active role in songwriting, earning credits for 'Baby Wassup?' and 'Long Way Long Ride'. Having been accustomed to hiding his emotions in the past, he revealed that he found joy in the process of translating his thoughts into lyrics through this project. In particular, he poured his unfiltered, honest emotions into 'Long Way Long Ride'.
"I hope this era allows me to be more honest with myself"
The title track 'Ice Cream' depicts a cool relationship that maintains sweetness while keeping a certain distance. Through Big Hit Music, Yeonjun introduced the song, saying, "Unlike the intensity of my previous work, this title track best represents my color and allows me to show both my inner and outer selves." He explained that while he aimed to show himself as he is, much like his previous work, he also strove to incorporate more diverse music and a sense of ease.
Rather than focusing on grand statistics, Yeonjun placed importance on growing one step further as an individual for this promotional cycle. He expressed his gratitude to the fandom MOA, saying, "I hope this becomes an era where I can be more honest with myself."
