Kim Jae-hwan, a singer formerly of the group Wanna One, has returned with a new song after 1 year and 9 months since completing his military service.

Recently, Kim Jae-hwan held an interview to commemorate the release of his digital single "I'll Come to Get You Now" at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

On this occasion, as it marks his first comeback after discharge, Kim said, "I prepared my body and mind to the best of my ability," and added, "I hope Wind, our fandom, will watch this comeback activity with comfort and happiness."

"I'll Come to Get You Now" is a rock ballad that conveys a message of love and comfort, promising to always be by your side even in exhausting moments. Kim Jae-hwan personally handled the lyrics and composition, and also participated in guitar performance to enhance the song's quality.

Regarding his decision to return with a digital single, he said, "I wanted to meet everyone as soon as possible. I felt that delays might occur, so I decided to come back quickly. I also have plans for the future. Although nothing has been concretely decided yet, everything is already in my mind."

Among these, his period of military service was a time for change and growth. Kim stated, "There were lonely and difficult moments, but I tried to endure them as positively as possible and strengthen myself. I believed that this time would surely help my activities after discharge." In particular, due to the gap in his activities, he admitted, "I often thought I might be forgotten. However, I believed that I could simply start over. What matters is how I present myself," showing a calm attitude.

He also revealed that he has deepened his contemplation on his musical direction. "I believe trends are created by oneself," he said, "and I believe that if we continue to pursue our own music steadily, like Crying Nut and senior artist Yoon Do-hyun, our 'season' will eventually come. While waiting for that time, I am constantly refining myself to create good results."

His experience serving in the military band also became a significant asset musically. He shared, "Through touring performances and live playing, I achieved growth not only in skills but also in emotional expression. The experiences and lessons I gained during my military life naturally found their way into this album."
