Monsta X's Joohoney Steps into the 'Light': Yearning for Freedom, Full Album Production, and Self-Rediscovery
Monsta X's Joohoney is all set for his first solo flight. Joohoney is preparing to release his debut solo mini-album 'Lights' on the 22nd, taking a new path after eight years since his debut.
Over the past eight years, Joohoney not only excelled in music but also in variety shows and music broadcasts, establishing himself as a versatile 'hexagonal artist.' 'Lights' is an album that encapsulates everything about 'Joohoney,' both as an artist and as an individual. It touches on his intense past, his search for his true self in the present, and the future he envisions with Monbebe (official fan club name). As the title track 'Freedom' suggests, 'freedom' is the keyword in Joohoney's solo album. He plans to tell a genuine story, confronting his true self with a youthful heart.
Joohoney's debut solo album, 'Lights,' strikes a balance between his eight years of experience and his fresh start as a solo artist. As he passionately sings about moments of freedom and pain, global fans are turning their attention to his unabashed portrayal of his world.
All tracks shining with 'Full Album Production'
Authenticity and self-production are more evident than ever before. 'Lights' is filled with six tracks, all written by Joohoney. Each song intertwines different emotions and facets of Joohoney.
From the first track 'Hype Energy,' a word synonymous with Joohoney, to the third track and title song 'Freedom,' which yearns for true freedom, and the fourth track 'Evolution,' which talks about the need to face oneself amidst despair, Joohoney delivers various messages through his complete album production.
The 'Re-Discovery of Solo Artist Joohoney'
Joohoney has demonstrated powerful raps and vocals, dynamic performances, and steady live capabilities through his activities with Monsta X. Retaining his well-known musical abilities, this album breaks away from societal gaze and prejudice and greets the real 'Joohoney.'
His past, present, and future along with the detailed emotions captured therein are expressed in various genres. The album delivers a different charm from his time with Monsta X, showcasing Joohoney's inner maturity and yearning for freedom, and his evolution through introspection.
Monbebe in Joohoney, A Tribute to Their Love
Joohoney has dedicated the climax of the album, the sixth track, to Monbebe, who will forever be with him.
The sixth track 'Don't Worry, Be Happy,' akin to a 'Monbebe dedication song,' is a song created by Joohoney with only Monbebe in mind. It expresses the conviction that "we can do anything as long as we're together, and our love is eternal." The relationship between Joohoney and Monbebe, serving as each other's strongest belief and will, is expected to become even stronger with this new music.
Joohoney's new album will be released on the 22nd on various music sites.
