Chawoo of ASTRO remembered Moonbin and his eyes turned red. He appeared on KBS 2TV's "THE SEASONS-Lee Hyori's Red Carpet" broadcast in Korea yesterday (23rd) and confessed, "I had a hard time last year." On this day's broadcast, he introduced his solo debut album "ENTITY" announced on the 15th. Chawoo revealed, "I want to express honestly what I have felt so far as my real name Dongmin, and it is an important album that incorporates my true feelings." When Lee Hyori said, "I heard you say, 'I can't feel at ease unless I release this album,'" Chawoo explained, "I wanted to prepare even if it took a long time, incorporating my true feelings." Chawoo, who expressed his intention to appear on "THE SEASONS-Lee Hyori's Red Carpet" from himself, said, "I don't want you to think that this album is commercially focused, so I told the office that I didn't want to do blatant publicity activities. I would be happy if it became a hit, but I couldn't actively say, 'Please listen to this!'." When Lee Hyori asked, "Why?" he took a breath as if he had something in mind and said cautiously, "Last year was personally a difficult year for me. So... um... I can't put it into words." When Lee Hyori said, "I think singers are doing well by incorporating such feelings into their albums and conveying them," Chawoo replied, "It was hard, and I cried a lot, but my heart is full. I prepared with the feeling that I want it to be conveyed well." Lee Hyori mentioned that Chawoo sang "WHERE AM I" at a fan concert held on the 17th of this month and couldn't finish it, sitting down and crying. "WHERE AM I" is a song that reminds me of Moonbin, who passed away last year. When Lee Hyori said, "Can you sing it here in acapella?" Chawoo worried, "I might cry again." Then she supported him, saying, "Don't cry, be well. Just talk. Talk about what you want to talk about." Chawoo started singing "WHERE AM I" when he heard those words, but soon his eyes turned red. ・ASTRO Chawoo, recorded song "WHERE AM I" MV released...
