BANG YONG GUK, a former member of B.A.P, has released photo teasers for his new album “2,” signaling a spectacular comeback.

On February 18 at midnight, BANG YONG GUK’s CONSENT agency released three photos from the new album “2” via their official SNS accounts.

The published photos are concept photos with a “Chaotic” theme. Among the two color versions that express BANG YONG GUK‘s self, a close-up cut stands out with intense color contrast. With its uniquely designed hat, the shot highlights the sophisticated atmosphere of BANG YONG GUK and displays part of the artist’s face. While the second color photo is an image in front of a mirror in which the artist looks at himself by plunging his gaze into hers, letting a mysterious atmosphere hover. The last black and white photo is even a little weirder with a glass that distorts the face of BANG YONG GUK. This total of three photos expressing the mysterious and unique atmosphere of BANG YONG GUK, garnered enthusiastic responses from fans along with their posting.

BANG YONG GUK‘s EP album “2“, which announced its March 2 release with a surprise release of concept photos, is the first album in three years since his debut solo album “BANGYONGUK” released in March 2019. As he has already established himself as a solo musician, many expectations remain high for him to once again show off the special musical world of BANG YONG GUK through “2.”

BANG YON GUK, who participated in writing, composing and arranging the new album, will display his ego with two keywords: “Chaotic” and “Wandering”. The album, which will be released in two versions, contains BANG YONG GUK‘s intention to express the same music in two visual effects. BANG YONG GUK‘s drive to reach audiences visually and audibly with high-quality content is demonstrated.

Previously, BANG YONG GUK proved his outstanding musical abilities as a music producer and leader through B.A.P. and activities from 2012 to 2018. Since then, he successfully completed his European tour and fan meeting in Japan by releasing his solo album “BANGYONGUK”.

Additionally, he showed various aspects as an artist by showing his appearance as a writer through the photo essay “내얼굴을 만져도 괜찮은 너에게“.
