Consisting of a total of 12 tracks, he fully demonstrated his capabilities as a singer-songwriter and producer by writing and composing every song. He poured sincerity and devotion into each track to depict his past days, which have come to hold a "story" as time passed, and to sketch out another [PAGE] that solo artist Kang Seung Yoon will unfold in the future. From the title track "IYAH" to collaborations with rappers of distinct presence in "BETTER (with MINO)," "OBVIOUS (Feat. Simon Dominic)," and "SKIP (Feat.
