‘RE:FLECT’ is poised to be a deeply introspective project, exploring the process of confronting past experiences and lingering emotions, ultimately reflecting on one’s present self. This release marks Park Jihoon’s return to music nearly a year after his critically acclaimed 2023 album, ‘Blank or Black,’ promising to showcase his further matured musical sensibility and earnest lyrical messages.
