B1A4 Sandeul Solo Comeback Interview - 2

Last year, a heart wrenching incident happened for the fans. B1A4 was not able to win over the "7 year jinx" and did not renew their contract. B1A4's Jinyoung and Baro concluded their contract with WM Entertainment, leaving CNU Sandeul Gongchan to go on with promotions as the full team with no choice. Additionally, CNU was called up for his active soldier duty, now B1A4 are concentrating on their individual activities.

As B1A4 was a team which received lots of love in Korea and overseas, this gave the fans a lot of sorrows. However, who can be more trouble and sad compared to those involved? Sandeul disclosed that fell into a slump that he couldn't even imagine.

"This album's last song, "It's okay" was written when I was the most not okay. The team had problems, problems that I thought would never happened on us did so I was not okay. However, from one point onwards, I suddenly start to feel better. It was around the time when I was coming out of the slump I wrote, "It's okay". It was really complexed in my mind but I arranged it one by one. Now I am very okay. I was thinking if a good song would come out from my the curve in my life. From then onwards, I started working on this album. The three of us were actually working on B1A4's album but CNU had to go to the army, so we postponed B1A4's album and geared up for my solo album. Actually, I didn't had the desire to want to release a solo album. I really liked the time which I spent promoting with my members and wanted to continue doing it but somehow the situation made it like this.

Nevertheless, Sandeul's solo comeback consists of the members' assuring support as always. CNU gave his song "Slanted line" as a gift and Gongchan sang a duet in "Love, Always you".

"Whenever CNU hyung makes a song, he will always ask me to help with the guide, but when I heard the introduction of this song, I immediately asked him to give me this song. I have been with hyung for about 10 years and this song is really him. The way it kept saying no no no persistenly was really like him. However, when the song was finished, the feeling was differently. There are a lot of people who felt it was a pity that the input was wrong but I spoke about it to them personally and talked it out. "Love, always you" is a duet with Gongchan and that I dreamt about and put my ambitious into. I hope that after listening to this song, there will be many people who will come and tell me that they hope to hear more of this collaboration. If there are many more people who look forward to this, I thought maybe that both of us could even release a duet album. I dont know about Gongchan. I don't know about my best frined but I take it that Gongchan likes singing with me?"

Sandeul will be releasing his 2nd solo album "A Fine Day" on 3rd Jun at 6pm. In addition to that, he will also be having his solo concert on 29th and 30th Jun at Seoul Yongsan-gu Blue Square Marker Hall.

"I am nervous and at the same time very looking forward. There are a lot of burdens. I am full of desires to want to do well for my first solo concert. I went around asking for advices but because I am greedy to have a solo concert, there were many people saying my concert hall was pathetic. I overpaced so much during my first solo album promotions that I had to be hospitalised. Therefore, if I wanted to prepare with a comfortable mind to give a good account of myself. I basically don't believe in myself. I already know that I will get excited on stage, so I will do various stimulation so that I have mind control. I think I will get worked up the moment I sing the first song. I might even cry at my first song. That's why I am very scared. This time round because of a fan event I tried to do ticketing personally and it was sold out, from then on I already almost cried.Actually when B1A4 had our first concert, I didn't had much experiences, I was short-sighted and was in a daze, when I finally released my stress, I cried. Nowadays its different. The lights which we couldn't see last time can now be seen. So I think I will really cry. I am very scared of that. I will need to be really careful.
