“The name ‘Xia’ is the only word that can fully represent my mixed identity. My circumstances have changed, but I was always the same. I was never really concerned about the way I was called. That’s why I didn’t really change my autograph, either,” Junsu said at a press conference held on May 16 to announce his new solo album.
“The reason I used my real name wasn’t because I hated the name ‘Xia.’ I just needed a name that fit my personality as a musical star. I’m actually surprised that people are making an issue for using the name, ‘Xia,’” he said.
Junsu released his first solo album, “Xia-Tarantallegra,” on May 15, putting his old stage name in the forefront of his promotion. From the 12 total tracks, eight of them are written by Junsu himself. The album features a variety of genres ranging from dance and ballad to R&B and hip hop.
Meanwhile, Junsu will hold his first solo concert for two days on May 19 and 20 in Seoul, before embarking on a seven city Asian Tour.
