Young K reveals feelings hidden for 11 years… “I pretended to be strong, but I was hurt inside”

DAY6's Young K has confessed the honest inner self of Kang Young-hyun, the person he has kept hidden for a long time, through his second solo full-length album 'YOUNGEST'.

In an interview, Young K confessed that he had “pretended to be strong” for a long time since his debut to show an unwavering image, but revealed that behind that facade, there were moments of hurt and pain. He stated that while he endured by appearing fine on the outside, the emotions accumulated inside him were gradually festering.

This album focuses on the story of Kang Young-hyun, a person who has gone through a process of anxiety, worry, and growth, rather than the image of a perfect artist. It holds even deeper meaning as Young K, who has been making music for a long time, has honestly confronted his inner self and unfolded it.
