2PM Jang Woo-young captured his thoughtful self in the music.

Jang Woo-young recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam, Seoul, and said, `I didn't have to use my head during 2PM activities, but my head hurt a lot while making music.' `I'm the one who will eventually 'sink too much'.'

It is the first time in three months that Jang Woo-young will release a new song since the digital single 'Simple Dance' in June, and the first time in seven years and five months since the mini-album 'Break Up' in January 2018. The 3rd mini album 'I'm Into' contains 5 songs, including the title song 'Fat. Damin'.




"The last album was released in January 2018 and finally released on September 15th. I was very busy preparing. I didn't use my brain for 2PM promotions before I used to think about what kind of performance to perform and perform, but now I make music and have my own standards. I want to be confirmed, I want to be responsible, and my head hurts a lot when it happens. I've communicated and discussed everything, but if I don't even do that, I think there's no reason to make music. At the very least, there is a great sense of self-esteem to be responsible for the main job. Trying to keep it makes you overdo it. Even if you prepare in advance, the title song seems to have a high reference point. With these standards, it took a lot of time trying to make a better song."

Regarding the decision to release a mini-album after 7 years and 5 months, "How much is this right in the recording studio?" Is that right?After doing ', it seems to have become a habit again. I found myself lacking.Even while writing the song, I get depressed because I fall into the mannerisms of 'What should I have as a singer who sings while dancing?' He was like this as if he was training in the mountains," he recalled first.

Then "Not anymore. Last year, I felt like I had to move something. So I put out a single first. Thankfully for the start, good results came out. While singing, I found Jang Woo-young happy. In the past, he became sensitive and complained and hurt people. People who work with you feel tired. Now I think deeply about these people, and I think I've gotten a lot better. I don't feel that way anymore. So I thought it shouldn't be longer. I thought I should reduce the comeback cycle."

These thoughts are included in this album. Shinbo 'I'm Into' depicts Jang Woo-young's deaned music world, which contains the meaning of ' (people or specific fields) ~'I'm very interested in, fall in love, and like' as it is.

Jang Woo-young said "Before, the time to find me was important. Thanks to Jung Jae-hyung, I fell in love with surfing, and I wondered if my skin would burn or get hurt. I used to relieve my stress by cleaning at home, but I think there will be a limit when I get older. 'What if it's 10 years later when I think it's really ready?? What if I regret it. I also enjoy using my body, I like to do it regularly, and they all have that hobby, so why not me?thought ' I tried to naturally dissolve those concerns, and I thought that the music concerns so far were okay. I wanted to sing "I can do this song even if I have a lot in mind", he explained.

The reason why I wanted to release this as an album was that the title song was the beginning. I don't know what to talk about. When the public gets curious about me or sees my visual appearance, it's so coolIt's supposed to be '.. Realistically, in my 17th year, I don't think you'll be curious about me, and I don't think there'll be any dynamic changes such as 'Your singing skills have improved a lot'. At the end of the day, the story and the theme seem to be important. But in that thought, my confidence was dying."




Then "So I hit the SOS to my team members. In this music, Woo-young Jang asked what kind of music to do. Everyone said 'Woo Young, tell us about it'. "'Woo-young, it's most natural to talk about it. That's when I got courage.'"

I went to Tokyo, Japan with Jung Jae-hyung and Lee Jeok on the channel 'Fairy Tour', but the older brothers 'Stop thinking about it. You don't seem to see you very well. You're doing a great job' told me. It sounded like a synonymous connection. And I saw myself, and I had a lot on my mind. What I want to do to me is 'money sink much', and I thought it wouldn't be fun. Even so, I would also do 'Sync to Much' 'I'm going to think a lot anyway, what's wrong with you? Just do it.' I thought that would be me. And I thought everyone would be like that. 'You're in thought, you're in love with me, you said you could do that.' So I asked him to go with what he could do 'Intu'."

The title song 'Feat. Damin' is a pop dance song with a sophisticated funky sound, with the message 'Do it, it's okay, you can do it, it suits you more' to the other person who is being eroded by deep thought.

Jang Woo-young was immediately good when he first heard the demo song. I think I can dance at the same time as I start the intro. When I listen to some songs, I think I need to set the mood, I think I need to strike a pose, but it's like a dance song, but I don't think I can sing. It stops when I feel like I can play on stage. It was fun, so it was a kick. If it weren't for this track, the album wouldn't have come out", he said, explaining why he chose the title song.

Jang Woo-young, who has been working on songs such as 2PM 'should', solo songs 'simple dance', 'the same', 'tuk', and 'off the record', was also named in the full credits this time.

"There were songs I wrote first, but I didn't use them. Without the title, wouldn't digital single 'Simple Dance' be possible. It doesn't mean much if there's no front-runner. This album is 'Am Into', but the songs I've written so far don't fit the theme of 'I'm out of it'. In fact, it can be much easier if you write a song you've written. And the fact that there are a lot of songs these days, I don't think it's anything less than greed from a singer's point of view. From the company's point of view, it's expensive, and 'Who's curious about it a lot?' It may be an inefficient way. However, as a singer whose main job is a singer, I can say 'I'm a singer' while releasing an album. The price of the album is going up, and I want to be clear with the responsibility of making it at least. I wanted to talk about this. I thought I should at least be able to tell a story I could."

Jang Woo-young's 3rd mini album 'I'm Into' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 15th.
