He went on to praise Doyoung’s artistic potential, saying,
“He captured the sense of solitude beautifully. Watching him work, I believe he has the potential for a long-lasting career. He’s already a complete artist, and I look forward to what he does next.”
Soar will feature ten evocative tracks, including the title song ‘Memory (Hello, Space)’. With this album, Doyoung hopes to extend the emotional strength he himself has drawn from music, aiming to provide a source of comfort and inspiration to his fans.
With a heartfelt plea for tranquility, ‘Still’ is destined to resonate with many as Doyoung embarks on this next chapter of his musical journey.
