“Today afternoon, just a few hours later from now at noon, the new album that our fans have been waiting for so long’First Homme’ will be released. I really apologize for not updating you on how I was on SNS. It was somewhere I communicated with my fans everyday, and it was so free, but I started feeling emotionally burdened by it. So I neglected it and stopped communicating with fans, and as time passed, it became an unfamiliar place without me knowing it. After that, I thought a lot to myself. I watched ZE:A during our trainee periods, until we debuted, and until now, and it became a period of time where I was able to understand something emotionally. I thought again about the passion and dream we had, and why we were standing here. I didn’t want to look like I was tired, and I comforted the members that were like my brothers, but I’m sorry to say that I feel like I wasn’t able to take care of myself.. As we prepared for this album, I was comforted by the members for the first time, and I once again realized that I could also be comforted by them and lean on them. I always just showed my strong side, so I didn’t want to look weak. I realized that I could lean on others and be comforted because I got strength from my members and our fans when my weakness was no longer able to be hidden.. That’s why I think the time we spent working on this album was time that let us, and especially me, know that so many things were precious.. I’ll work hard again during these promotions with the fans who wait for us without changing, and the cool, reliable members. I hope it’s a period of time that’s happy and enjoyable for both us and our fans. We were able to feel a lot of things again, and we worked hard through our passion gratitude for the people precious to us ^^ We’ll have a cool comeback for our fans.”
