Kangmin, the youngest member of the boy group VERIVERY, will make his solo debut seven years after his debut.
Kangmin recently conducted a round interview to commemorate the release of his first solo single "Free Falling" at the Jellyfish Entertainment headquarters in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
On this day, Kangmin confessed his extraordinary responsibility for his first solo appearance and his narrative so far. Kangmin, who was the team's first soloist, said, "I feel a lot of responsibility both as a member and as an individual. I want to show you that you are not lacking alone. I may lack a lot of things because it's my first time, but I'm going to do my best one by one like when I first debuted as VERIVERY," he said.

In the background of the decision to make a solo debut at this time, there were recent great experiences, including "Boyz 2 Planet" (hereinafter referred to as "Bobble 2"). Kang-min said, "The recent experiences were so big and as I accumulated a lot of those things, it became clear what I wanted to do. I told the CEO, "There are so many things I want to talk about," and he explained, "I melted serious stories for the first time in this album."
"I don't think I've always lived like a beginner." While preparing for my solo debut, I felt that mindset once again. When I first started this job, I always told my mom when I was a hard trainee that I wanted to quit, but when I thought about it again, why did I make my debut with such hard work, and why I was able to perform for seven years so far, it became comfortable."
Kangmin found the reason why he was able to work hard for seven years through "free polling." "There were a lot of things I didn't know before I debuted," he said. At that time, the people on stage were cool and I thought that was all, but when I stood on stage, I felt more and more as I got older and repeated the experience, how precious the time they spent for us was. For a while, I felt it even bigger when we weren't working on the album. In fact, I felt more stark while doing "Bobble 2," he confessed.

There was also a moment when I wanted to give up. Kang Min, who went to middle school in Busan and was a trainee in Seoul every weekend, said, "I envied that students of the same age were playing on weekends because they were young. I had to go home and take a video of the basics and send it to the company. The students recalled their school days, saying, "I told my mother in envy that I wanted to quit."
Then, what would have been the reaction of his parents when Kangmin said he wanted to quit as an idol trainee, saying he was having a hard time. Kangmin said, "My father and mother said, 'If you start now, can you do it until the end?You said ' That's why 'you have to' and 'you said you were responsible' were always loud. I wanted to quit at a young age, but I think my parents also knew that I was jealous of other students, so they stopped me from quitting."
Kangmin's first solo single "Free Polling" will be released on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 26th.
