People don’t buy CDs a lot anymore, so I feel like the feeling is lost of looking forward to the next song when listening to a CD. I know that mini albums usually have about five songs and just four without the instrumental, but I wanted my album to be like a gift to people who buy it.

I think, as a family, it’s important to sympathize and be supportive of what I do, I believe that’s what real family means.

I listen to music for consolation and comfort. I want my songs to comfort people who listen to it, and I myself want to be a comforting figure to my fans. I think ‘youth’ is not limited to people in their twenties. People in their sixties can be youthful too. I want people of all ages to sympathize with the youthful songs in my album and feel comforted.
