YESUNG to release 2nd full-length album 'Where We Are' on the 6th for 10th solo anniversary

According to the agency SM Entertainment, Super Junior's YESUNG will release his 2nd full-length album 'Where We Are' on the 6th at 6 PM to mark the 10th anniversary of his solo debut.

This album contains 12 tracks, including the title song 'Pedazos'. YESUNG participated in writing the lyrics for 9 of these tracks and composing 1 track, and also took on the challenge of self-directing the album. He personally took some of the photos included in the portrait version.

YESUNG stated through his agency, "At first, I thought the 10th anniversary would be a moment for me to be celebrated, but as I prepared the album, I felt that the 10 years were not entirely mine alone." He added, "This is an album made with a heart of gratitude toward everyone who has been with me."

The title track 'Pedazos' is a modern rock song that captures various emotions left behind after a breakup. The title means 'broken pieces' in Spanish. YESUNG explained, "It starts calmly but becomes more passionate as it progresses," and "I included the thought that various emotions inevitably exist simultaneously in life." He also recalled, "During a time when I had many worries, I heard it for the first time in a taxi on a sunny day and thought, 'I have finally met my title track.' Immediately after that, I received news that my mother was unwell, and excitement, worry, and fear rushed in all at once." He continued, "Since it is a song where the various emotions I felt that day gathered, it resembles my current self a lot."

Looking back at the music he has released over the past 10 years, YESUNG stated that he will continue to seek his own unique music. He said, "I want to sing until the last moment of my life," and "Rather than defining my music as one thing, I want to keep asking myself, 'What is my own music?' and find the answer." Following the album release, he will hold the solo debut 10th anniversary Asia tour 'ABOUT THE THINGS WE CALLED ORDINARY'. After holding the first performance at the Seoul KBS Arena from the 16th to the 18th, he will visit 8 regions in Asia. YESUNG said, "I hope that every time I meet fans, it becomes a performance that we complete together while changing little by little," and "I am preparing to speak and sing directly in various languages." He conveyed to the fans, "It is because of you that I am who I am today and can continue the music I want to do," and "I will become an artist that you can be proud of for a long time."
