MAX CHANGMIN returns with third mini-album after four-year hiatus

TVXQ member MAX CHANGMIN released his third mini-album, "All Of My Life," on the 19th, featuring a band sound and a title track that required eight hours of recording. The six-song release will be supported by a live tour at the YES24 Live Hall in Seoul starting November 6.

TVXQ member MAX CHANGMIN returned on the 19th with his third mini-album, "All Of My Life."

According to his agency, MAX CHANGMIN held a comeback countdown live broadcast on the official TVXQ YouTube and TikTok channels at 5 p.m. that same day to share stories about the new release with fans.

Regarding the direction of the new album, he stated, "I expressed my opinion that I wanted to fill the album with a band sound."

The production of the title track took longer than usual. While MAX CHANGMIN typically spends three to four hours recording new songs, he revealed that he worked for approximately eight hours this time, performing repeated re-recordings to supplement any lacking parts.

The track "Yeah We Go," for which he wrote the lyrics himself, was inspired by sports competitions. He shared that he wrote the lyrics while imagining an athlete running out onto the field after overcoming tension and pressure in the locker room. He introduced "Hot Blood" as a song he wants to sing refreshingly with fans, and "Sleeping By The Phone" as a song that suits an emotional autumn night.

MAX CHANGMIN will kick off his live tour, "MAX CHANGMIN LIVE SESSION : RESONANCE," at the YES24 Live Hall in Seoul from November 6 to 8. He teased the performance, saying, "It will be a show where you can feel plenty of exciting band sounds." This mini-album contains a total of six songs, including the title track and "Hot Blood," "The Low," "Yeah We Go," "Sleeping By The Phone," and "99 (Boiling Point)."
