Singer Lee Han-gyeol looked back on the past nine years.

On the 14th, a showcase was held to commemorate the release of Lee Han-gyeol's first solo album, "NOISE," at Red Button Culture Stage in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul Gangnam-gu.

On that day, Lee Han-gyeol explained the reason for his solo debut, stating, "Over the past nine years, I tried many things and faced challenges, but there were many times when it didn't work out. I even had a period of rest while thinking, 'Should I take a break?' During that time, I pondered what I truly wanted to do, and since I still felt a longing for the stage, I decided to challenge myself again."

Previously, Lee Han-gyeol debuted in 2017 as a member of the boy group IM. He has served as a central member of groups including X1, a project group born from Mnet's "Produce X 101," BAE173, and most recently POLARIX, which is based on a global survival program.

Lee Han-gyeol said, "I felt it would be a waste to let go of what I had built up over the years, and I was curious about how people would react if I showed them my work as a solo artist. So I thought, 'Maybe now is the time to show you what I have prepared,' and decided to come out as a soloist."

So, what words would he like to say to his past self? Lee Han-gyeol shared, "I want to tell him, 'The time you have lived through has not been in vain' and 'Although there were many failures, I also gained a lot of experience, so it did not become poison.'"

"NOISE" is released at 6 p.m. on the 14th via various online music platforms.
