YEONJUN Brings ‘NO LABELS’ to Life at Billboard Live: Photos From Inside TOMORROW X TOGETHER Singer’s West Hollywood Concert & Sit-Down Chat

For YEONJUN, breaking free from expectations has become more than a theme.

It’s the core of his latest solo albums.

The K-pop star brought that spirit to an exclusive Billboard Live event at West Hollywood’s Troubadour, where he sat down for an intimate Q&A with Billboard News’ Tetris Kelly before taking the stage for an electrifying performance featuring songs from his solo work.

Amidst the conversation, YEONJUN shared the creative process behind NO LABELS Pt.

1 and NO LABELS Pt.

2 , the pressure he’s learned to let go of, and how he continues to discover new sides of himself as an artist.

“ NO LABELS is all about showing the different sides of me,” YEONJUN explained during the conversation, describing the second project as more “natural and unfiltered” than its predecessor.

While NO LABELS Pt.

1 introduced fans to a new dimension of YEONJUN outside of TOMORROW X TOGETHER , he said the two albums represent different sounds and visuals while remaining equally true to who he is.

This meant challenging his perfectionism, however.

YEONJUN admitted that he puts pressure on himself to do everything perfectly, but is now trying to approach his music with a lighter mind-set, which is a perspective that carried into the making of NO LABELS Pt.

The shift seems to be paying off: After the first album’s top 10 debut on the Billboard 200 , Yeonjun said he actually felt more comfortable preparing his follow-up because he had learned to enjoy the creative process.

The event also offered a select group of fans the chance to experience YEONJUN’s solo work in an intimate setting.
