SEO EUN KWANG
When his album officially got released on June 8th, the singer has showed up a lot on several broadcasts.
The leader of the KPOP band BTOB, SEO EUN KWANG, is one of the last members to release a solo album. PENIEL, one of the rappers, released several songs on digital platforms only. Back from his military service on April 7th, SEO EUN KWANG has, since, worked hard to satisfy the Melodies (BTOB fandom name). Showing up a lot and broadcasting on TV Shows, even after a 12h HADABANG (non-stop live video), the artist has still found the time to product a solo album, also being much available for his fans on live videos on his SNS.
“FoRest ENTRANCE”, released on June 8th, has been very successfull with the songs “Dear My Dear” and “No One Knows”. The album is composed of ballad songs where SEO EUN KWANG proves, one more time, his amazing talents. FoRest ENTRANCE’s tracklist : “Dear My dear”, “Nobody Knows”, “Have a nice day”, “Walk”, “Love again”, “Blue bird”, “The four seasons”. Talented artists such as KZ AND BEAR GROUP, BIG SANCHO or JEON SANG MIN participated to the production of SEO EUN KWANG‘s album. The song “Love again” has been composed and arranged by the composer and vocalist from BTOB, LIM HYUN SIK and SEO EUN KWANG has been writing the lyrics.
The song “Dear My Dear” has been pre-released, as the first extract of the album before its release. Out on May 11th, the song has been watched more than 180 000 times on Youtube within 3 weeks. Dedicated to the Melodies, the singer thanks them for their patience and support, all along his carrer through BTOB but also as a solo singer.
If the first song that got released was “Dear My Dear”, the main title of the album is actually “No One Knows”. The star remembered his moments at the army, with his mates, to write the lyrics of the song. Even if it looks sad at the first sight, it is a positive song that remember the one who listens that someone is there, outside, for them and understanding them.
SEO EUN KWANG has confessed, during an interview for the show POINT OF OMNISCIENT, that he was much motivated since he got discharged, to participate to a lot of broadcasts and TV Shows. He still looks motivated as, since the album’s release, he did appear on 5 different shows.

When SEO EUN KWANG was looking nervous on his first official performance for “No One Knows”, he now seems much more ease to sing all alone on stage and he looks more happy to meet his fans again. His voice seems to get more confidence as he performs more and the singer offers to his public a very unique and unforgettable moment.
