With Jinwoon’s rise as an actor through KBS‘s ‘Dream High 2‘, he will make a 180 degree transformation from the clumsy troublemaker he portrays in the drama.

6 Mar:

2AM is making an unusual move with their recent comeback as it is planned they will launch their upcoming mini album, ‘Fitzgerald’s Love Story’ as a LP record, in addition to the regular CD format.

Since there are no LP producing factories left in Korea, the producers have placed orders in the US. LPs are five times more expensive to produce than CDs, and have a production period of around 8-9 weeks.

Despite the cost and time, the boys hope to showcase their ballads through the analog version.

The LPs can be per-ordered online beginning March 7th and will then be passed on to fans two months after, on May 15th.

In addition, 2AM is receiving pre-orders for their album through Naver, and will hold an “Unplugged Fan Meeting” for 60 lucky buyers. ‘Fitzgerald’s Love Story’ will drop on March 12th.

Jo Kwon: “I want to…”

Junho: “What do you want to do?”

Jo Kwon: The many things that I had no choice but to give up. You?

I guess I didn’t give them up, I postponed them. I can do them when I’m older. Don’t give them up. But looks like I won’t be able to experience campus life. I’ve been going to school diligently lately. Right? I just postponed it right? I have hope thanks to Lee Junho. I’m sure I’ll be able to do it when I’m older. Do all the things you want to do as well.

Junho: Ah, only I haven’t been able to. Time to work hard. Let’s do well to be our juniors’ driving force. That’s if we have juniors.

Jo Kwon: You definitely can [do what you want to do too]! I’m just a returning student who goes to lectures diligently. Since our company has many ‘dream trees’, let’s be cool seniors.

Fans commented, “I thought Jo Kwon was a joker, but he’s really a young man with thoughts“, “Nice to see how close they are“, and “The two of you sure have deep thoughts”
