WINNER Kang Seung Yoon Confirmed To Make Comeback As Soloist With Full Album In March
"Kang Seung Yoon's first solo full-length album will be released in March," YG Entertainment announced on January 27. "He has finished recording the entire album and are set to film a music video for the title track in the middle of next month."
The solo comeback happens 8 years after his solo debut in 2013. Kang Seung Yoon, who first appeared in the music industry as a soloist with the single 'It Rains' in July 2013, showed off his hot popularity by sweeping the top music sites in South Korea at the time. His other songs, 'Wild And Young' and 'Stealer', which were released consecutively, also topped the charts, proving he is a talented newcomer.
Kang Seung Yoon, who officially debuted as a member of WINNER in 2014, has focused on his group activities over the past 8 years. His extraordinary leadership and consideration existed behind his prolonged absence as a solo artist.
In fact, Kang Seung Yoon has always focused on working on the group's songs since his debut as WINNER. Most of WINNER's mega hits such as 'REALLY REALLY', 'LOVE ME LOVE ME', 'ISLAND', 'EVERYDAY', 'MILLIONS' and 'AH YEAH' were born from his hands.
Kang Seung Yoon began preparing for his solo album in earnest only after WINNER's group activities stopped due to members Lee Seung Hoon and Kim Jin Woo's enlistment in the military last year. The time has come for his music to bear fruit even during his busy schedule, as he swept the 'King of Masked Singer' in the first half of 2020 and acted in the drama 'Kairos' in the second half of the year.
Kang Seung Yoon is putting his heart and soul into writing and producing all the songs of his first solo full-length album in 8 years, as well as taking care of the music video himself. For fans waiting for his new song for a long time, he also showed extraordinary love by revealing the progress of the work through his SNS.
In particular, on January 20, he posted the phrase "SEE YOUN SOON" with his silhouette image on WINNER's official SNS, suggesting that his comeback is imminent, drawing enthusiastic responses from global fans.
Kang Seung Yoon has been loved by the public for his unique sophisticated music and expanded spectrum. Expectations are high on what new music the talented man will show as a solo artist.
