"THE ANSWER" is the first album after he released his mini album "HOT & COLD" in last Oct. It has the message of 'My answer is only you' to the lover.

"Frame" is his favorite song out of his album.

"Frame is produced in the way I pursue. It's a sexy song, and its sexiness doubles when listened at night. I was already satisfied when recording it."

The album has total of six songs.

The singer held his first in-person concert after his solo debut at Yes24 Live hall on Oct. 9-10.

"The way fans looked at me said 'I missed you very much.' I was very honored and had a lump in my throat."

In 2017, he finished second in Mnet's talent competition "Produce 101 Season 2" and debuted as "Wanna One" in Aug. in that year.

After the end of activities as "Wanna One," He began his journey as solo artist by releasing his first mini album "O'CLOCK" in March 2019

He also met his fans on TV, appearing on web drama "Love Revolution" in 2020 and on "At a Distance, Spring Is Green" in 2021.

He will return as an actor next month with Wavve webtoon-based drama "Weak Hero Class 1."

"I want to hear that I am an actor and singer who has various sides, and an artist who can do various activities."
