, so I'm really honored. I'll call myself the arm of BTS and I'm from South Korea, so the song that you guys just heard was basically, since you know the capital city.

It was only my second

home

town in Korea. Well, first things first, the most important part. I would like to introduce you to our band The Korean Legends. um, the first set of documents on the keyboard, whoo, the round of applause, John wins on the guitar, Jason Park on base, last but not least, JK Kim, draw, okay, um, yeah, that was like that um and I just released my first new solo album called Indigo, which is the natural color of nature, which is also my favorite color, uh, but it's not the um, it's not on the album, actually it's from my last mixtape called Mono in 2018.

So yeah, Seoul is a city I spent most of my time in. Since I started music, I always wanted to make a song about Soul, so this is my collaboration with me and Hyundai. Big shout out to Honda. Yeah, so Indigo, please give my new first Soul album some big love please. The next song would be the first intro, the first track of the album Indigo and it is about the Korean painter Yoon hyong, who I have the utmost respect for in our industry and he always said: "You should be, you should be a human first before you do it" . some art or you know, do something, so the song is inspired by his lifelong message and when you see the album cover you can see his painting, so yeah, the next song is about the painter and me, you know the communication between life and death. and actually, Erica Badu is on the song so she was supposed to be here but unfortunately we don't have her at the moment but still a shout out to Erica Batu and if you're ready let's kick it overseas okay what are they sure?

Make some art, it's a cool world, but it will be my part because true beauty is true sadness. Now you can feel my madness. I want to be human before I make some art. It's a cruel world, but it will be my part because true beauty is. A real sadness, now you can feel my foreign madness. Keep silence. I want to be a human to make some art. It's a cruel world but it will be my part because Drew Beauty is truly sad, now you can feel my madness. I want to assume it. Make some art.

It's a cruel world, but it will be my part because true beauty is true sadness. Now you can feel my madness. I want to be human before I make some art. It's a cruel world, but it will be my part because true beauty is. a real sadness now you can feel my madness I want to be human before I do something it's a cruel world but it will be my part because true beauty is a real sadness and you can't feel my damn manners now you can feel my Madness that was great guys, so, yes, it was Yoon.

I love this song, it's the first track on the Indigo album, so if you love it please check it out. Well, I've been making music for 15 years. This is my uh, you. I know 10 years like BTS, but still this is my first official solo album and, you know, I ran all the way, you know, along the way, just to release its 10 tracks and 10 colors, um, out of my way soul and out of my ego I guess, so I think this time I could finally show the world that I've really been what's really inside me and what I really wanted to do, so indigo is about my 20s, actually I've been making this album since 2019 with these guys so it's been four years and it's like I'm 26-29 so I feel very strange and next year actually you know the month that It's coming, I'm turning 30.

It feels really strange, there's only one month, um, in my 20s, you know, when this album finally came out, okay, that was a long conversation, now I'm starving, so, next song It will be, actually, it's fun, um. It's funny, it's a second, it's the second track number two on this album and it's called still life, so I wrote this song actually outside of the museum, so I went to a random museum and I saw a title called still life with a lot of frequency. A lot of paintings were titles of life and I felt really strange because it was like the painting in something like the 19th century of Monet or Van Gogh or Cezanne, so the flower, as a model for the painting, you know, is dead. a century ago, but you know it's still alive in the painting, by the painters themselves, so they gave the birth, actually the eternal birth or the life to the flowers, by painting, so, when I see the still life, you know it like a canvas. because I am because my life is like a canvas I'm exhibiting my life to the whole world like everywhere um America Asia Europe everywhere uh but life is still still you know it's stuck on the canvas no one is alive and it's eternal and it's still moving forward, so this is a still life that is still moving forward, come on, I'm still alive, don't give me any names because I'm unbound.

I'm moving, yeah, yeah, I'm slapped, but. I'm moving your lip now I'm going to fall asleep eh drug when I go to sleep but I'm moving now keep going let's do it now Earth days my penis won't bother baby she doesn't throw noodles she's talking too drunk on the way go and take it right what pro league, hey, it happens in life, but what happens, what happens, is yelling at Anderson, okay, let's get back to it, hey, everyone can lock me in the frame. I'm moving on, yeah, yeah, life is better, dad, but I'm done. Your lip doesn't fall off now, yeah, now whenever South Bay we go down, peace, see you next time.
