( to: han jihae ) — well ( to: han jihae ) — it’s not really a feeling that you can avoid ( to: han jihae ) — being anxious about something big like this is completely normal  ( to: han jihae ) — i would say just try to relax and take your mind off of it, but i have a feeling you’d just disregard that advice ( to: han jihae ) — try playing a few songs for a family member or friend or group member. if you get positive feedback, let that console you and make you feel better.

( to: successful baritone-hyung ) — ah yes you’re aware that i’m reckless and struggle with well-meaning authority. ( to: successful baritone-hyung ) — that makes things easier ( to: successful baritone-hyung ) — … that sounded sarcastic but it honestly wasn’t meant to be. sorry. ( to: successful baritone-hyung ) — isn’t that cheating though? ( to: successful baritone-hyung ) — also i kind of put my friends and family through all of it already. don’t wanna do it again. ( to: successful baritone-hyung ) — can you really just sit down and tell yourself “ok i’m relaxing now”???

arabella‌.

( to: elias ) — that’s a valid way to begin a conversation  ( to: elias ) — oh a solo, well then should i congratulate you?  ( to: elias ) — a slideshow? you’re not dying, you’re just going to sing a song! ( to: elias ) — well look on the bright side. someone else composed the other half of it.  ( to: elias ) — it might not turn out so bad  ( to: elias ) — it is stupid because you’d look like a cry-baby.  ( to: elias ) — i don’t really get it?  ( to: elias ) — if you’re afraid of doing something, then don’t do it. but if you’re already doing it, then you have no reason to be scared.  ( to: elias ) — look, we all get that feeling from time to time, but dimensions would’ve never allowed you to go solo if you weren’t good.  ( to: elias ) — try thinking of it in that way? also like what’s the worst thing that could happen? even if you flop, you wouldn’t be the first idol to flop. so what’s with all the panic? 

( to: arabella ) — ofc it’s a valid way i’m not a complete idiot 😤 ( to: arabella ) — the 28th last month. ‘ts been a while now but i also didn’t reply in 5ever so that’s my bad ( to: arabella ) — easy for you to say when solo did crazy good, no? ( to: arabella ) — i already put out two portals who didn’t really do much, let alone do well so i feel justified in my worries ( to: arabella ) — also because dignity n stuff. ( to: arabella ) — but nevermind. done is done and i can’t fix stuff even if i wanted to. ( to: arabella ) — thanks for reading all of this. getting it off my chest already helped a bit.

jaeyeol‌.

( …  ⚡️… )

the song was nice, he couldn’t help but bop his head slightly to the music. jaeyeol understood the feeling in a vague sense, not applied to making music or anything, but it wasn’t unfamiliar still. the older shifted slightly so he could look at jihae a bit easier, “never thought i’d see the day you weren’t an entire flop,” he teased firstly, he couldn’t just give him the compliments and praise he was truly of without it. “i like it, i like it a lot. i’d let you sing at…something.”

“You’re mighty certain of that for someone who’s sneaking into my bed in the dead of night like the chastest drunk booty call on earth,” Jihae grumbled and leaned his head lightly against Jaeyeol’s. Were they in broad daylight, it’d be more obvious how their hair colours matched. It was the only bit of “family resemblance” they had but it was, as silly as it sounded, a welcome reminder that Jihae had people who had his back just like he had theirs. Even at ungodly late hours. Even when he made them listen to the almost same song five times in a row out of insecurity.

“I’m not naming the songs, I don’t write lyrics,” he defended himself half-heartedly. Part of him wished he did, it’d probably be fun. And frustrating. But fun. Though it was probably in Dimensions’ best interest not to let Jihae do anything with words. “Hey, rude. I’m kicking you out of bed again,” he threatened at Jaeyeol’s assessment, though they both knew his words held no real threat. It wasn’t like his friend was wrong. SSFW lived in a weird love-hate space and Lemonade Love was still so heavily tarnished by the hard time he and Yuanjun had been going through at that point that it was hard not to see the songs as anything but flops, regardless of how they hadn’t charted.

“Thanks. That’s… reassuring to hear. Seriously.” Jihae relaxed a little, leaned further into Jaeyeol’s hug. “I wrote the first draft when… I think around the time we were promoting Limitless? So it sucked hard when I first dug it up. At least I can say I made progress.” He sighed softly. “Do you ever think about what will happen once… this… is over? Unity, I mean.” Spending most of his spare time composing for the past few months had left Jihae wondering if this could be something other than his stubbornly hold-onto dreams of a future in science that he might be okay with doing for the rest of his life, though the emotional strain that started to set in with every new song he finished still scared him. He had no idea how to process any of it.

“As a kid I wanted so desperately to become a singer. It was all I could think of for… dunno. From the moment I joined choir until–” He paused. When had standing on stage become a way to no longer live his dream but to torture himself over how he was never quite satisfied with himself? “I feel like I missed out on a quintessential part of childhood where everyone dreams of being an astronaut or something. Did you have an astronaut phase? Or is it only one more lie the media feeds us?”

famed fansign meme ( accepting! )

thank you for asking, @fmdtaeyong!

13. what do you consider to be your most charming trait?

He grins broadly and tilts his head to the side a little bit. “I’ve been told a lot that I have a pretty smile.” He wiggles his eyebrows. “Though, honestly, I’m not sure I have much authority to speak on these things. What do you think?”

14. what is your favourite flavour of ice cream?

“Hm. Good one. So…” Jihae drops his voice into a conspiratorial whisper. “Please don’t tell Jaewon-hyung because he’ll tell my mum but I really like green tea ice cream. I shouldn’t have it that often because I’m really lactose intolerant but…” He shrugs, his cheeky expression not giving off the impression of someone who cares. “Some things in life are worth it. What’s yours?”

15. how should i ask out the person i like?

This one nearly takes his breath away for a second and Jihae scrambles to keep his carefree composition. He hums, trying to buy himself some time for an answer that won’t tread into hurt territory. “I think you should find an environment where you both feel safe and then… tell them how you feel.” He shrugs, trying to dismiss his answer. “I know it can be really scary but I think it’s a bit like admitting when you broke something as a child. Maybe the consequences won’t be what you expected but no matter what, it’ll feel better to have it be off your chest.”

famed fansign meme ( accepting! )

thank you for asking, @fmdkami & @fmdjoohwan!

4. if you spent one day with a fan, where would you go and what would you do?

Jihae’s expression grows pensive. “Hm. Good question. I’m kind of a boring person that way, you know? So my ideal anything is hanging out at home.” He laughs, feigning embarrassment. “But I guess we could go to an arcade, what do you say? I feel like there, we’d have a wide range of games we could play. And after that we could go have a coffee. Maybe attend an open mic night! That’d be cool too!” He grins. “I guess in the end, it’d be up to you. After all, as my guest you should have first pick of what we do, wouldn’t you say?”

8. what soloist do you like the most recently?

“I’ve been really getting into BC’s most recent soloist’s music! Roller Coaster is super fun and catchy! I’ve been trying to learn the dance to it too but–” He pauses, chuckles. “Well. I’m not a designated dancer for a reason, right? But her I’d recommend a lot. Also…” He draws out the last vowel. “I don’t know if that really counts since he’s technically also a part of Unity but Jaewon-hyung’s duet with Femme Fatale’s Yoona is also kind of solo work. So, We Don’t Talk Together. Check them out.” He winks.

Jihae releases first solo mini-abum “Dual Citizen #23″

After participating in two Portal releases last year as well as a number of solo soundtracks for dramas such as The Producers and Hotel Del Luna, Unity’s Jihae has made his solo comeback with his first ever solo mini-album! Though Unity is still considered a rising group as they near their fourth debut anniversary, Jihae is the third member of the seven-piece group to make his solo debut, following after members Jaewon and Yul last year.

Released on his birthday, Dual Citizen #23, which hints at both Jihae’s foreign upbringing and his chronological age, consists of six tracks total. Tracks one through five lean heavily into the ballad style with their own defining characteristics: “Like A Star”‘s more layered instrumental, “Balloon”‘s guitar backing, or the hints of jazz in “Goodbye Days”. The last track, “Color”, adds a more urgent touch during the color with a more R&B and trap-inspired sound. Jihae composed tracks one through three and is also listed as one of the composers on “Balloon” (as is CHARM’s Hyunsoo) and “Goodbye Days”. He’s credited as a producer on “Color”.

The first track on the album, “Me After You”, is also the promoted single for the mini-album. A piano ballad, the song emotionally tells of the changes after meeting someone and falling in love. “Me After You” will be promoted for four weeks on music shows and b-side track “Like A Star” will also be staged on music shows for the first week of promotions.

Check out the track list and notable song credits below!
