[Interlunar] is a solo regular album released by YUGYEOM after a year and four months since his first regular album, [TRUST ME], which was released in February of last year. He participated in the overall work, including lyrics and composition. Ahead of his military enlistment, YUGYEOM conveyed a message of promise to his loved ones, likening the upcoming gap period to the album title "Interlunar," which symbolizes a time when the moon is not visible. The album features gift-like tracks showcasing YUGYEOM's delicate and robust vocals as well as mature musical colors, filling global fans' playlists.
Released simultaneously with the music video, "Shall We Dance" is a track that harmonizes YUGYEOM's romantic tone with a romantic and lively rhythm and sound. In the music video, YUGYEOM showcased light bouncing steps against a backdrop of the sea, captivating fans with a refreshing mood that evokes the excitement of midsummer.
Included in this second regular album are 10 high-quality tracks, such as the dreamy beat-driven "Interlunar," as well as "Duck Glue" featuring YUGYEOM and Hoody, "Mine," "Set Me Free," and the album version of the single "Sweet Like" released last year. Each track featured contributions from producers such as Code Kunst, SEVENTEEN's Vernon, DJ Wegun, L-like, and Thama, creating synergy with YUGYEOM.
Meanwhile, YUGYEOM recently successfully held a solo world tour titled [TRUSTY], which toured major cities worldwide, including Asia and North America & Latin America, and concluded a solo concert as GOT7 at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, with a record sell-out of all tickets. With this second regular album, he is taking the music charts by storm both domestically and internationally, maintaining a busy schedule before his enlistment.
