Singer Jo Kwon will release his first new solo music in eight years, his agency Archive Achim said on Wednesday.

The upcoming single, “Like I Do,” will be released on March 27 and show “the authentic side of the artist under the glamorous layer he has presented himself in so far,” said the agency.


Music producers Mathilde Nyegaard and Noak Hellsing also took part in the making of the single, according to Archive Achim.
