Jooheon announces a new start as a solo artist. He will release his mini album '光 (INSANITY)' on January 5, showcasing a product that further develops his musical capabilities. This album is a culmination of Jooheon's musical spectrum, previewed through the pre-release track 'Push (Feat. Rei of IVE)' last December. Based on over 10 years of experience and abilities as a solo artist 'JOOHONEY', he expresses an independent worldview.

The title track 'STING (Feat. Muhammad Ali)' is the core track of this album, revealing Jooheon's musical identity. He takes charge of the lyrics, composition, and production of the album, demonstrating his capabilities as a complete artist that encompasses rap, vocals, and performance. 'STING' utilizes the image of a 'Bee', which is Jooheon's symbol, to express his artistic instincts. This track, based on Muhammad Ali's famous quote "I will float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," radiates intense energy over a sound that Jooheon created himself, providing catharsis to listeners. The highlight revealed in the music video teaser hints at an overwhelming sense of beat, increasing anticipation for the new song.

Visuals are also an important element of this album. Jooheon has sensibly expressed the duality of the album title '光 (INSANITY)' through various concept photos and teasers released ahead of his comeback. He shows the pure determination of a young man immersed in music and presents the rough mood of a 'boxer' through wounds and taping in the ring. Additionally, he captures the image of an 'artist' radiating an overwhelming aura, creating various atmospheres. This is the result of visualizing the narrative where the impulses of a young man who first started music collide with the weight of an artist on stage, merging into a single light.

Jooheon's mini album has become richer through collaborations with various artists. The title track 'STING' features the voice of Muhammad Ali, and the album also includes contributions from Tiger JK and IVE (Rei of IVE). Such cross-genre and cross-generational collaborations were made possible by Jooheon's musical flexibility and confidence. This album, which harmonizes sophisticated sounds and unique collaborations, is drawing attention as a masterpiece that coexists with Jooheon's experience after 11 years since debut and his newness as a solo artist.

Jooheon will officially start his activities by releasing his mini album '光 (INSANITY)' on January 5 at 6 PM (KST) through various online music sites. This album will serve as an important milestone showcasing his accumulated musical experience and growth.
