A culmination of the journey he’s been on in his twenties, Namjoon explores the depths of uncertainty the future tends to hold and expresses his own insecurities at the thought of change and growth. Since his debut, he’s been known for his openness and willingness to share his vulnerability with his fans, and this album is no different.
