Park Ji-hoon, a singer and actor poised to become a ‘10 Million Actor’ through the movie 〈The King’s Affection〉, is returning to his roots as a singer. Leaving behind the narrative of Danjong that heated up the screen, he is ready to take the stage as a solo artist for the first time in about three years.

Preparing for an April Comeback... First New Release Since 2023’s ‘Blank or Black’

On the 5th, his agency YY Entertainment officially announced, "Park Ji-hoon is preparing a new solo album with the goal of a comeback in April." While the specific release date and album format will be revealed later, anticipation among fans is at an all-time high as this new release will be the first since the mini-album ‘Blank or Black’ released in 2023, marking a three-year gap.

Currently, Park Ji-hoon is juggling a grueling schedule, promoting the hit movie 〈The King’s Affection〉 and filming the new tvN drama 〈The Legend of the Cooking Soldier〉. A representative from his agency stated, "Despite his busy schedule, Park Ji-hoon is personally overseeing the song production and recording to enhance its quality," adding, "He has a strong determination to deliver music that clearly reflects his identity as a singer."

From Wanna One to ‘Weak Hero’, ‘The King’s Affection’... Proving Himself as a Versatile Artist

Debuting as an idol in Wanna One through 〈Produce 101 Season 2〉 in 2017, Park Ji-hoon has established a unique position in both the solo singer and actor realms after the group disbanded. He has proven his solid vocal and performance skills through seven mini-albums and one full-length album, and has gained recognition for his acting skills in the drama 〈Weak Hero Class 1·2〉 and the movie 〈The King’s Affection〉, becoming a leading actor.

This album, which embodies Park Ji-hoon’s ambition to never compromise on music, is expected to symbolize another expansion of his artistry as he reaches the peak of his acting career.
