Hoya holds first live streaming since leaving INFINITE to talk about his new label, album, name, and more

On October 3, Hoya greeted fans via Naver 'V' Live for the first time since leaving the group INFINITE. He started the live stream with,�"It's been a long time, I apologize�for the bare face. But my skin has gotten better compared to back then so I feel confident now."

He added, "I'm currently in a practice room that my agency provided for me. It's a good fit for me."�Hoya went on to talk about his new home, Glorious Entertainment.� "My agency is very generous towards me. The label doesn't actually have its own practice room. I didn't really expect much since it was geared more towards actors but they offered me a pretty good practice room.� It's the biggest I've ever seen. I am dancing happily right now."

He also hinted at his new song release.� "My song is coming out soon. I am looking forward to meeting everyone with my new music. I've been working extremely hard, not even resting on Chuseok holiday hoping to get it released within this year."� He commented, "Honestly, I'm not quite sure when it'll be released.� I'm constantly preparing for it, though there are some things I have to finalize."

The idol singer described his rigorous work process.�"Today, I will be practicing the choreography with my dance team and will be recording my album tomorrow. I've been going back and forth between my home and studio for the past 3 months. I haven't been out much, so no one was able to spot me or anything. I've been hiding at home. Preparations are going quite well, though there's still much to do."

Hoya also stated that he will be starring in musical 'Sandglass' and MBC drama 'Two Cops'.� "I am also preparing to star in a drama. I unexpectedly became a part of the production. I thought it would be right for me to greet everyone with music first so I was getting ready for it but then I was given a musical offer. As for the drama, my part was decided just two days before script reading.� I am eagerly analyzing my character and practicing my lines."

Lastly, he shared his plans to promote using his legal name, Lee Ho Won, but also told fans they can still call him Hoya. He said,�"Of course, you can still call me Hoya. Hoya is my nickname so you can call me by my�nickname. There's no reason why I can't use it."
