JONGHO said, “There are parts where I sing parts that are so different that the ATINY (fans’ name) who listened to ‘Birthday’ were probably surprised, but this is the first time I’ve ever sung such a part. So I had a lot of fun recording it.”

Also, in reference to the title “Birthday,” when asked about the “moment that made me feel glad to have been born,” HONGJOONG answered, “The moment I was in ATEEZ,” while WOOYOUNG expressed his love for the group, “The moment I met the members for the first time.” I’m saying it.

So please look forward to it. And I will always love you,” he said, expressing his gratitude to the fans who support him on a daily basis.
