[On site Y] "My heart heats up watching GOT7 members' performances"...JB (comprehensive) returned after the call-up.

Group GOT7 member JB returned with a solo full-length album after completing a year and nine months of alternative military service.

A showcase commemorating the release of JB's first full-length album "Archive 1: [Road Runner]" was held today (27th) at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

JB, who made a comeback about a month after the call-up, said, "I felt grateful to the fans who were waiting for me. I came to think about how to express my gratitude more. Watching the members' performances during the service, my heart heated up. I also wanted to perform quickly," he said.

In JB's words that she lost 14 kilograms of weight, her courage was seen. JB said, "I've prepared very calmly," adding, "I think it's the least weight I've ever had in my solo career."

"Archive One: [Road Runner]" is the first solo studio album in 12 years since its debut. It shows the excitement of returning to the first mind with the feelings of waiting and reuniting, and starting again through encounters with oneself who has matured.

Although the preparation period was not long after the call-up was lifted, it is noteworthy that they prepared a full-length album. JB said, "Before, I only released EPs, but I had the idea of wanting to be a singer with a full album. I thought fans would like to show more styles of songs, so I released a full-length album," he explained.

The album chose "Crash" and "Cloud Nine" as the double title tracks. "Crash" is a song that fits well with energetic performances, and contains JB's mindset to run on his own path. Cloud Nine, which creates a completely different atmosphere based on the rhythm and charm of R&B, expressed the feeling of happiness felt as soon as it was emotionally deeply connected. The album contains a total of 13 songs, including titles "Crash" and "Cloud Nine" with different atmospheres, "Baby," "if you," and "Make Me Right." They also included "Present" and "Winter night," which can only be heard on CDs.

JB said, "In the meantime, the focus was on pop-style K-pop songs. But after this album, I want to show more music of my favorite R&B genre. I think it will be such a turning point," he said, expressing his hope.

"My strength is that I can decorate the stage very interestingly," JB said. "Wouldn't it be possible for the fans to do their best on stage?"
