Singer Jung Dong-won shared his thoughts on releasing a full-length album after three years.

Jung Dong-won will be releasing his second full-length album, ‘Gift of Long Legs’, at 6 PM on the 13th. Ahead of the release of his new album, he held a media showcase at Nodeul Island Live House in Yongsan-gu, Seoul and talked about the process of preparing the album.

He said with a laugh, “I prepared a lot for my first full-length album in three years. I‘m excited, but I’m also very nervous.” He continued, “Since it was the first time I‘d performed the album on stage, I felt pressured to do well. I recited the mantra ‘I have to do well’ and went up on stage. After doing it, I really felt happy.”

He then said about playing the lead role in the music video for the title song ‘Heung!’, “Since I’m not an actor, there are some aspects I lack. However, I prepared hard, so please look at me favorably,” and said, “I performed the action scenes in the music video. I did it myself, not a stunt double. It was the first time I’ve ever done action scenes in my life. Since I was going to do it, I wanted to look cool, so I learned a lot from the action director. That’s why I’m even more satisfied,” he said with a laugh.

Regarding recent updates, he said, “I’ve been so busy preparing for my full-length album,” and “I wanted to increase the perfection of the album, and since there’s also a performance, I wanted to prepare the choreography perfectly,” expressing his affection for this album.

Jung Dong-won, who introduced the title tracks, “Flower Deung” and “Heung!”, said, “‘Flower Deung’ is a medium-tempo ballad with sad lyrics. ‘Heung!’ is a dance song based on trot. The album contains hip-hop, EDM, and dance. “I wanted people to be surprised and say, ‘Jung Dong-won puts out a song like that?’ so I tried to include various genres in the album,” he emphasized.

Meanwhile, Jung Dong-won‘s second full-length album, ’The Gift of Long Legs,‘ was inspired by the novel ’Daddy-Long-Legs,‘ and contains warm comfort and support between fans and Jung Dong-won as they become ’Daddy-Long-Legs‘ to each other. It consists of a total of 14 tracks, including the double title tracks ’흥!‘ and ’꽃등.‘
