Boi group god member Son Ho-young shared his reflections on reaching the 20th anniversary of his solo debut and behind-the-scenes details about working on his new song.

Recently, Son held a roundtable interview to mark the release of his new digital single 'Go Around,' commemorating the 20th anniversary of his solo debut, at Jemstone E&M's headquarters in Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

On this day, reflecting on reaching the 20th anniversary of his solo debut, Son said, "Don't you have to imagine a truly long stretch of 20 years? But rather than feeling that way, perhaps because I communicate with my fans, we joke around saying, 'I'm just turning 20 and entering university,' so it doesn't feel like a huge span of time or that I've been active for as long as 20 years."

He also candidly revealed the reason why it took a long five years for his solo album to come out. Son stated, "There isn't a clear reason. I am cautious and fearful. But I am also ambitious, sensitive, and have a slight tendency toward perfectionism," adding, "People with these traits either do things or don't at all. As a result, time passed by. It wasn't intentional."

He continued, "I am also very nervous when releasing an album. The passage of 20 years makes one fearful. So I came back without even realizing it," while emphasizing, "However, I felt that I absolutely must not avoid the 20th anniversary." Regarding the preparation period for this album, he added, "I definitely decided to release it within this year, and I clearly began preparations this year."

Describing himself as strict with himself, he also mentioned the difficulties of balancing group and solo activities. Son confessed, "Even when I was a member, I wasn't without this strictness. That's why my personality is effort-based. It's 'make it work if it doesn't.' When doing team activities, I only needed to do 20%, and that could be filled with effort. But in solo work, the amount of deficiency is too large to fill with effort alone. When doing solo work, I realized that coldness and felt stressed, but I pushed through on stubbornness."

Given that this was his first solo comeback in a long time, it seems god members' support would have been especially significant. However, Son replied, "I haven't shown them yet. I will show them last," drawing attention. He said, "It's my unchanging personality: 'Let's save the cursing for later.' My members are a playful family and brothers, so it is not easy. I plan to finish making everything I want to do and then hear their opinions."

When asked about the members' expected reactions, Son said, "They will curse even if they like it. The famous cussers will curse even if they like it," adding with a joke, "The reaction is predictable. There might be someone who doesn't listen to the end properly," showcasing their cheerful, genuine family chemistry.

'Go Around' is a track in which Son participated directly in lyric writing, containing messages of comfort and encouragement. It conveys the trajectory of life he has experienced while continuing his independence over the past 20 years and his current mindset through hopeful lyrics and a sincere voice.

On the 31st and November 1, he will hold a solo concert titled 'HORIZON' to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his solo debut at KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, sharing a meaningful encounter with fans.
