The new EP got a digital release on June 23 with the CD release following on June 28. The digital single 소년시대, featuring Leo Bang (of U&Me Blue) is of course included, and first and foremost being a guitarist Shin Yoon Chul has worked with a number of different vocalist for the other songs. There is soul songstress Jung In, Goonamguayeoridingstella‘s Cho Woong, Kim Bada (누구나), and new name Jang Jae Won (꿈같던 하루들).
The first edition of the Hug Live concert was all about female artists, and the second concert which took place June 24 had all male groups – Gogoboys, Handsome People, Bye Bye Sea, and Glen Check. Just like last time, a digital single was released prior to the event, June 23, and Hug Vol.2 sees new Gogoboys song 황홀경 as its only track.
Cozy Café is the brain product of bassist and producer Kwak Young Jun, who has a history working with artists such as Wheesung, Big Mama, Jang Nara, and Baby V.O.X, and vocalist Park Che Won, aka Bandi. Together they have created a latin inspired sound based on bossa nova and samba. First mini album Getaway got a release on June 24.
