Shin Soo-hyun prepares for upcoming solo venture

Shin Soo-hyun is embarking on a new solo journey after spending 17 years as the leader of U-Kiss. This year marks a significant turning point in his career as he steps out on his own as a solo artist. Renowned for his powerful vocal skills, Shin has now released his latest album, “I Am,” which coincided with his birthday, symbolizing a fresh chapter in his musical career.

While Shin has previously ventured into solo projects, he considers this album to be his true solo debut, allowing him the freedom to mold the music according to his vision. With U-Kiss’s contract ending last year and the group taking a temporary hiatus, Shin decided to pursue his solo path while still holding deep affection for his team members and leaving room for a potential reunion in the future.

Shin’s new album features three tracks, including the rock-inspired main track “Ridiculous Love,” where he showcases his versatility across different genres. Additionally, the album includes a reinterpretation of the late K-pop singer Seo Ji-won’s song “Another Beginning,” a choice made out of admiration for the artist and personal connection to the lyrics.

Looking forward, Shin is gearing up for his first solo concert and subsequent performances in Japan, where he aims to captivate audiences with his live performances. As he meticulously curates his setlist and prepares intensely for the shows, Shin emphasizes his passion for being on stage and connecting with his fans through music.

With aspirations to establish himself as a versatile artist, Shin plans to engage with his audience through various avenues, from releasing new music to appearing on TV shows and participating in musical performances. His goal is to introduce himself authentically through his music and create a lasting impression as a singer who excels in delivering powerful live performances.

As he forges ahead on his solo path, Shin Soo-hyun remains committed to showcasing his artistry and building a strong connection with his fans. Through his music and stage presence, he endeavors to make a mark in the music industry and leave a lasting impact on those who follow his journey.
