UP10TION‘s Lee Jinhyuk appeared on a radio show to celebrate his official solo debut. As much as it was a time to celebrate, Lee Jinhyuk revealed his honest truth about going solo after promoting as a group for the past 4 years.
He explained that he worried a lot and felt pressured since he had to embody the song by himself instead of having his 9 members beside him.
I felt pressured and worried a lot.
To be a soloist means I have to be able to showcase the song’s full meaning by myself. It’s because everyone listens to music differently.
— Lee Jinhyuk
He also revealed that it still felt unbelievable after his solo showcase.
I felt nothing after the showcase ended. I thought, ‘Did I really just perform on that stage?’, ‘Did it end already?’ I later thought, ‘I really debuted as a soloist.’

But every emotion peaked when his song entered the music chart rankings! He thanked his fans as he explained, “I couldn’t contain my emotions. It feels unbelievable.”
