While the album contains six songs - Rainy Days, Blue, Love Me Again, Slow Dancing, For Us, and Slow Dancing (Piano Ver.), the 27-year-old artist had already pre-released MVs for his tracks Love Me Again and Rainy Days back in August this year.
While the Slow Dancing MV dropped along with Layover, his latest release is the Blue MV, which came out on September 13 at midnight KST.
Layover also became sensational worldwide - including Japan, where his fanbase is enormous - selling 221,491 units on its release day and landing at number one on Oricon's Daily Album Ranking. Layover previously claimed the title of the fastest album by a soloist in Hanteo history to sell one million copies. Meanwhile, earlier on September 13, the album's title track, Slow Dancing, debuted at number 49 on Billboard Japan Hot 100.
