CHA EUN-WOO (ASTRO) releases his first solo album in 8 years since his debut.
CHA EUN-WOO’s first mini album, for which he participated in writing lyrics for all tracks, is filled with the diverse and honest emotions felt as ‘Artist CHA EUN-WOO’ and ‘Lee Dong-min,’ CHA EUN-WOO’s true self, along with the will to ‘accept all my sides and live honestly.’
The album name ‘ENTITY,’ meaning ‘individual’ or ‘entity,’ utilizes ‘home’—a secret, comfortable space where one can best show their honest self—to convey ‘the will to show various aspects through Lee Dong-min’s homes, each with different characteristics.’
Its title track ‘STAY’ is a country-pop song highlighted by the calm yet intense acoustic guitar performance from its intro. Its lyrics, which convey a message of comfort to all those grieving after a breakup with a loved one, express Lee Dong-min’s deepest feelings of longing without reserve.
This album also includes ‘WHERE AM I,’ which contains a splendid yet lonely and empty heart; ‘With You Alone,’ which expresses the fresh and fluttering feelings of first love with emotional vocals; ‘Fu*king great time,’ which softly yet intensely conveys the intention to give up everything and live rebelliously due to great loss; and ‘You’re the best,’ which contains positive lyrics conveying warm feelings to precious and loved ones around.
Additionally, through various stories, as intended by the album’s meaning, it will reveal Lee Dong-min’s honest self, including ‘Memories’—a track exclusively available on CD—which conveys precious shared memories and affectionate feelings from a long time together.
