Eric of the idol group The Boyz (THE BOYZ) revealed his inner thoughts, stating, "The most difficult moments were overcome by my drive to move forward: THE B (the fandom name), The Boyz, and my family."

On the 15th, Eric shared a visual film through his official SNS and announced the opening of an online-offline fan festival where fans can enjoy his diverse content. After recently signing an exclusive contract with Grid Entertainment and announcing a fresh start, his first content was inspired by the number '22', which symbolizes Eric. It features 22 questions and answers, covering everything from his journey since debut to his current thoughts and future direction.

The video begins with the sound of a doorbell. As Eric opens a mailbox, he discovers a pink letter. Upon pulling it out, the text "22 Questions for Eric" appears. Eric then calmly answers each question in the envelope, sharing various stories about himself.

In the first chapter, 'ERIC, The Babe', Eric reflects on his time as a member of The Boyz. He said, "When I became a member of The Boyz, I wanted to be someone who gives love." He added, "The most vivid memory is the moment right before our debut stage and THE B (the fandom). You've worked hard all this time; now it's time for you to soar freely."

He also openly expressed his special feelings toward The Boyz members. "Every moment and time spent with The Boyz members was happy," he said, emphasizing, "Even in difficult times, the drive that allowed me to move forward came from THE B, The Boyz, and my family. They are the reason I exist." In particular, Eric stated, "The Boyz is my life. My everything." He expressed gratitude, saying, "Because of the members, both I and THE B could exist today."

In the second chapter, 'Eric & Son Young-jae', the video delves deeper into the artist Eric on stage and the person behind him, Son Young-jae. Eric admitted, "Actually, I am sensitive and a perfectionist who is quite strict with myself." He continued, "Because of this, I sometimes push myself too hard or put excessive pressure on myself," laying bare his concerns that lie behind the glamorous stage without holding back.

Eric also added, "The moment I feel most confident and cool is undoubtedly when I stand on stage." He stated, "I have the courage to take all risks for what I truly love."

His intentions for the stories he wants to convey through music were also clear. Eric said, "I want to put my honest thoughts, feelings, and positive energy into my music." He added, "Sometimes this honesty may even cause pain, but I want to express my true feelings." He concluded with a message of hope: "Even if there is a chance of failure, I will challenge everything and move forward. Failure is also part of the process toward success."

Finally, Eric once again conveyed his sincerity to fans with the words, "Always remember this: Eric loves you (THE B)."

Previously, Eric announced a new leap by signing an exclusive contract with Grid Entertainment. With determination to show new possibilities in various fields, including music, based on experiences gained through The Boyz activities, all eyes are now focused on Eric's future endeavors as he reveals a more honest self through the '22 Questions'.
