Performing alone on stage is still new to 25-year-old vocalist Jung Yong-hwa, who debuted as part of quartet CNBLUE in 2010.

“It feels like my real debut. I feel so nervous,” Jung said in an interview ahead of his performance on KBS’ “Music Bank” on Jan. 23.

“Taking to the stage alone doesn‘t feel real. I have no one to play with, no one to joke with,” he said.

The singer-turned-actor released his debut solo EP “One Fine Day” on Jan. 20. Jung composed and wrote all 10 songs on the album.

“One Fine Day” brings him one step closer to his dream, he said.

“It is like a dream to work with superstars I long admired on TV,” he said.

For his 10-track album, he teamed up with veteran rocker Yoon Do-hyun, rapper Yang Dong-geun and established producer-guitarist Peter Malick.

“I am honored that these top stars are giving me a hand for my performance,” he said. “It is just unbelievable.”

Jung, however, has a long road ahead.

“I feel more burden than joy because people think of me as no more than a member of CNBLUE,” he said.

“To dispel the perception, I will continue to broaden my presence with more solo albums.”
