소란's Ko Young-bae drops mini-album 'Layer' as a one-man band

Solo now, but still 소란

소란's Ko Young-bae released the mini-album Layer (레이어) on September 18. That same day, he held a showcase at MPMG headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul to introduce the new tracks.

It was his first major public appearance since 소란 became a one-man operation. Ko didn't shy away from the transition. "After moving to solo activities, I worried members would feel the absence," he said.

(Running a full band's identity on one person is a different kind of pressure — Ko seems aware of that.)

The concern was significant, he explained, but he plans to stay more active going forward. No further details about the album's track listing or the circumstances behind the lineup change were confirmed.
