Singer Chuu felt anew the importance of the emotion called sadness.

On the 21st, a media listening event was held to commemorate the release of Chuu’s 3rd mini album[Only Cry in the Rain].

The commonality with the previous work is dealing with emotions.Chu explained the subtle difference by saying, “The previous work ‘Howl’ was about the beginning of expressing emotions, but this time, it talks about maturity by containing them all and then showing them when you can,” foreshadowing a growth narrative.

While doing so, he looked back on the process of preparing the album, saying, “Until I was 25, I didn’t try to find calmness within myself.I thought I would be less emotional, but at some point, my emotional side started to come out.It was especially so when it rained.Recently, I cried while watching Netflix’s ‘Cheated on You’.There were times when I felt relief through tears.”

He also said, “I felt that emotions that come without warning are similar to rain.Rain that can start as a shower and turn into a storm.Isn’t it something I can’t control?” explaining the reason for connecting ‘rain’ and ‘emotions.’

[Only Cry in the Rain]depicts a journey of moving forward again while facing the invisible things called ‘memory’ and ‘emotion’.It looks back on the emotions that were forgotten and sings about how they have made the person who he is today, containing Chu’s lyrical inner self and the growth of his musical world.

The title song of the same name as the album, ‘Only Cry in the Rain’, is a song that combines a new wave synth-pop sound with a dreamy atmosphere, and delivers the message that young people who live hiding their emotions can be honest about their feelings on rainy days.It is a harmony of a cheerful rhythm and melancholic emotion.

The album contains a total of five songs aime including the title track, ‘Back in Town’, ‘Kiss a Kitty’, ‘Je t’, and ‘No More’.

The new album will be released on April 21st at 6PM.
