Singer Park Ji-hoon, a former member of project group Wanna One, will release his first full-length album “MESSAGE” Wednesday.
It is his second project this year after releasing a third mini-album in May.
Park's latest album is written by producer Tenzo, who has worked with popular K-pop stars such as IZ*ONE and Momoland. The tracks feature several singers, including Punchnello and PENOMECO.
“The singer will show his talent across different genres of music ― from hip-hop to indie ― through this album,” his agency Maroo Entertainment said.
The album will hit streaming sites at 6 p.m.
Park was thrust into the spotlight after competing in Mnet's popular audition show "Produce 101" in 2017. He debuted as a member of the disbanded group Wanna One after winning the show as a top 11 finalist.
Park began acting with a lead role in tvN's romantic comedy series “Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency” last year. He is now starring in the web series “Love Revolution.”
