What Does “Who Are You” Mean?
During a countdown live broadcast celebrating the album’s release, Suho shared the profound meaning behind his new work. “Music shines when it’s accompanied by a story,” he explained. “This album poses the question, ‘Who are you?’ to everyone. I want you to think about your own stories while listening.”
He elaborated that the album is a journey of self-discovery, both for him as an artist and for his listeners. It’s an invitation to reflect on who you are and what kind of music truly resonates with you.
Suho’s personal touch is evident throughout the album. He wasn’t just involved in the music production but also in the hair and fashion styling, ensuring every detail aligned with his artistic vision.
The Sound of a New Chapter
The title track, also named “Who Are You,” is an alternative rock song that has been praised for its unique take on a breakup theme. Suho confidently expressed his love for the track, stating, “You won’t be divided on this one. 99.9% of you will love it.”
For international fans, there’s a special treat: the album includes an English version of the title track, a decision inspired by Suho’s time in the US.
