Sunwoo told Star News during his interview on the 22nd, "I changed my name about a month ago... My parents are the type to frequently go get their fortune told, and they suggested that I change my name."

When asked, "How does it feel to have your name changed?", Sunwoo shared, "It still feels awkward... When someone calls me Sunwoo, I find it hard to look up at them... It feels like I'm starting anew... I will show a new image through this album."

Boys Republic will make their comeback with "Dress Up" on the 25th!
