Woo Hyun is Nostalgic in “If Only You Are Fine”

Nam Woohyun is finally back since his first solo album two years ago! He continues to show off his vocal skills through his second album, “Second Write..”. He was also able to display his composition skills by writing multiple songs on the album. The album also features many special guests, including TraxX’s Kim Jungmo and Dongwoo from his own group, INFINITE.

The title track, “너만 괜찮다면 (If Only You Are Fine),” is a sad ballad that brings listeners back to those happy memories they had in the past with someone they loved. The song is about realizing that their relationship turned toxic over time and wanting to end the relationship, but having a hard time due to lingering feelings and memories. The music video ends with the strong couple deciding to part ways due to their disagreements, leaving their many happy memories to fade away.

“Second Write..” is the first song on the album, starting listeners off with a beautiful orchestra instrumental introduction that catches the listener’s attention and brings them into the right mood. “You’re My Lady” tells the story of a happy couple through its chorus. The song is a confession ballad that makes your heart race with its sweet lyrics. “I Swear” features Woohyun’s groupmate, Dongwoo, and has an extremely sexy atmosphere due to Dongwoo’s  soft, raspy voice. The song is a jazz pop song that is on the upbeat side of the album and captivates the listener.

“Smile” is a fun pop song that features TraxX’s Kim Jungmo and is about overcoming the past memories with your loved one. You will definitely smile after listening to this song because of Woohyun’s sweet voice and the emotions throughout the song, especially during the chorus. “같은자리 (The Same Place)” brings the album back to ballads with its soft, instrumental introduction. The song brings sad emotions of being in a relationship and the hardships you have to deal with while continuing to love them. “사랑해 (I Love You)” ends the album on a sweet note with a cute, acoustic song about a love that is so unbelievable that it feels like you are in a drama or fairytale. I definitely smiled and felt butterflies in my stomach when I listened to this song, what about you?

Nam Woohyun has released his second album with a variety of songs for all listeners to enjoy. He was able to show different sides of himself, from emotional to sexy, which definitely surprised many of his fans. Please support and love Woohyun as well as INFINITE as he continues his current and future promotions!
