Jang Wooyoung Makes Long-Awaited Solo Comeback
Jang Wooyoung of K-pop group 2PM has officially returned to the music scene as a solo artist. On June 23, he released his new digital single ‘Simple Dance’, marking his first solo comeback in over seven years since his 2018 mini album, When We Part.
Self-Composed and Full of Artistic Color
‘Simple Dance’ is a track that showcases Wooyoung’s talents not just as an idol but as a seasoned singer-songwriter. Having penned and composed the track himself, he continues a creative streak that includes 2PM’s comeback song ‘Make It’ and previous solo hits like ‘R.O.S.E’ and ‘Off the Record’.
Meaningful Lyrics and Stylish Sound
The track compares rekindled emotions to sparks ignited by dance, expressing the desire to glow brightly together again after a cold spell. With its synth-pop base, the song is clean yet energetic—with rich synthesizer sounds, dynamic drum beats, and intricate guitar riffs amplifying Wooyoung’s expressive vocal performance.
‘Simple Dance’ Lives Up to Its Name—with a Twist
Often praised as a ‘natural-born dancer’ and ‘performance master’, Jang Wooyoung breathes life into the song’s concept. The recently released music video teaser captures sweat-drenched dancers deeply immersed in movement, with Wooyoung’s intensity drawing viewers into the rhythm and mood of ‘Simple Dance’.
Multi-Talented Entertainer Back in the Spotlight
While Wooyoung has recently displayed his humor and spontaneity on the Netflix variety special Drive: In Search of the Lost Handle, this musical project reaffirms his core identity as a performer. With this comeback, he’s proving himself once again as an ‘all-around artist’ this summer.
Live Comeback Event to Connect with Fans
Fans won’t have to wait long to interact with the star. Wooyoung’s comeback single officially dropped at 6 PM on June 23, followed by a special live event on 2PM’s official YouTube channel at 7 PM to celebrate with fans in real time.
