What kind of album is it. He also participated in the production himself.

A. The name of the album got a hint from the title song 'It's My Style'. The intuitive and simple image given by the word MY TYPE has many aspects that touch my personality, so I thought I could express it well. As the album keyword was decided, the direction became clearer. As it was an album that talked about my taste, I had a strong desire to produce it myself. It's my first solo album that fully contains me.

Q. What did you focus on the most while working.

A. I thought it was more important than anything else to get sympathy from the public and to sing sincerely and in a fun way. My weapon is honesty, and I wanted to build a consensus with the public by telling the story of `human Lee Seung-hoon' rather than `artist Lee Seung-hoon````````````````. 'This is about me?!' contains a story that everyone can relate to in the song. The album jacket was also filmed in my daily living space, not on the set, to capture the most me-like 'Natural Lee Seung-hoon'.

Q. What kind of song is the title song 'It's My Style'. Musical confidence is seen in the promotion of pre-release of story films a day before their release.

A. I'm attached to all the songs in the album, but this song is special to me. The power of the story given by the title 'Just My Style' was good, and the witty and intuitive title projected me to express myself sincerely and give me the confidence and confidence to enjoy the stage. As it was selected as the title song, I constantly thought about it and re-recorded it several times. In addition, (Song) Min-ho's thought and advice together produced satisfactory results.

Q. Four colorful tracks were featured. Please introduce other songs in addition to the title song.

A. If the title song is a fastball, the songs in the album are breaking balls. 'Thinkin'Bad Things' is the song that pays the most attention to the vocal part that can show a wide range in various tones, and 'Do Re Mi Fa Sol' has a cute feeling with a bouncy melody line and lyrics, so I think young people will like it a lot. 'BROTHER & SISTER' is a song that contains my energy that I showed at concerts and festivals. As we prepared for a long time, there were about 40 demo songs. Among them, I selected songs that have strengths that can show you singing, rapping, and dancing as a solo artist. I tried a lot of different concepts and music genres.

Q. Lee Seung-hoon has performed countless times as the main dancer of WINNER. I have high expectations for the performance that I will show with my first solo album.

A. As I had the opportunity to show artist Lee Seung-hoon, I paid attention to the details of the performance to show the stage composition that did not exist. It incorporated old school funk that was influenced when I was young. In addition to a pattern that can be monotonous, Lee Seung-hoon's seasoning has also been added. You can look forward to it because you paid a lot of attention to the dance break time in the middle with the dancers so that it can be refreshing. There are many powerful movements, but there are also point dances that are easy to follow. By adding the YG dance must-win strategy 'Pistol Dance' (laughs), the chorus 'It's my style' was highlighted.

Q. What kind of support did WINNER members give.

A. I wished and cheered for my solo album more than anyone else. Since they are members who have watched the growth change, they know the musical direction I want the most, so they monitored me in their spare time and considered and advised me on my concerns.

Q. Friendship appearances such as Gian 84, Lee Si-eon, and Pani Bottle also stand out in the story film of 'Just My Style.'

A. They met through a broadcast program and got closer to each other. Thanks to listening to my demo song, suggesting ideas first, and helping a lot of people appear in story films, interesting results came out. I had a lot of worries about the promotion strategy, but I thought it would be good for many people to come easily and have fun. I was very serious when I made music, but I tried to make the delivery method a little more friendly.

Q. What was your new attempt and challenge as producer Lee Seung-hoon. Is there any achievement or goal you want to achieve through this album.

A. As if I was going to the office every day, I participated in the entire album, not only music but also planning, idea, editing, visual, styling, and casting. It was very rewarding. I think there are so many things to learn and gain from making this album. It's good to shine on stage, but I want to refine producer Lee Seung-hoon's good sense and sharpness. There is also the ultimate goal of wanting to be a person who can have a good influence on many artists.

Q. A word to the fans who always support you.

A. We worked hard to make an unforgettable gift to the fans who waited for us for a long time, so please show us a lot of love. For WINNER's activities next year, I will shoot the starting signal well.
