B1A4 Sandeul Solo Comeback Interview - 1

It was revealed that Sandeul will be coming back with his 2nd Solo album on 3rd Jun titled "A Fine Day". There are a total of 6 songs starting from the title of this album is "A Fine Day" which they went to Berlin for, a song made on song camp, "This Love", the song which CNU made "Slalnted line", Din Din's present "The sound of rain", a duet with Gongchan "Love, Always you" and the song "It's okay" which is the heart of this album.

"I think the biggest mold of this is to bring comfort and healing. When I was young, my second auntie was someone who was drenched in sorrows, but when she turned on the radio, she became happy. At the point, I promised my auntie, "I want to be a singer so that I can bring smiles to you." Even though afterwards as I became a singer, things kept changing but I kept thinking of wanting to do songs that can bring comfort and healing. Through my solo album, I was able to express a little of that. The first song that was being fixed for the album was "It's okay". "It's okay" was a song which was written when I was most not okay. When I was a little more okay, I would othink, "people always think of me as someone who is cheerful, but I constantly am not okay. If this is the case for me, then won't other people be feeling not okay too?" So it became the heart of my album. Using this song as the base, I also added in songs that give comfort using other feelings." 

The title song was a song made for Sandeul by Yoon Jong Shin, it talks about the radiant memories of a gone love which has changed dusting off from a shining bright sky. A splendid sound with Sandeul's special cheerful vocals in this sad song can be seen in this 5 mins that song runs in.

"I have received healing from Senior Yoon Jongshin's songs many times. Through the company, I carefully requested from him. I know that senior doesn't give out songs easily so I didn't know that he would do it for me. Even though it was a little scary but he agreed immediately to give a song for me, I was very happy. He gave a "cheerfully sad song" I think it will give healing to those who are experience farewells. I do not have the courage to ask why did he gave me the song so I do not know the reason. I was wondering if it was under the influence of MBC Radio Star. At that time I sang the song "Drinking" as my first live and I wondered if it was then he became aware that there is such a singer called Sandeul".

Yoon Jongshin sings great praises of Sandeul as a "superb singer". However, even with that, he revealed that he felt lots of pressure and stress as he wrote the song this time round.

"I think senior would probably felt stressed because we told him that it will be the title song. For that, he put in a lot of efforts to write this song and is happy with the results. I wanted to try something epic like Senior Park Hyoshin's Wild flower and he write it like that for me. He passed over all the burdens to me. He said that the song is very good and asked me to practice hard. Because of that, I also took the burden and worked hard in order to do well for the song. I am very thankful that he praised me as a superb singer. Thanks to his good words, I gained lots of courage."

Sandeul said to not give expectation for this album and just work hard. Reason being the higher the expectation, the bigger the dissappointment will be. He hoped that his solo album can be a stepping stone for his future music career and may it be a fertiliser for it.

"If I expect one time, then I will overpace. My sister who usually is stingy towards my songs and evalutes it also said that it is good and asked if it would go big, making my expectations bigger. So I thought of sad things in order for me to catch the emotion. I feel that this album is an album that shows me constantly growing up. Be it my solo album, Chandeul duet album, or even B1A4 album. I hope it can be a stepping stone for my singing career.
