Secret Asian Men reflects the changes that naturally emerged from meeting audiences during performances after releasing their debut album, which seemed to be made secretly by young people who grew up in the 90s, and the EP [Contrast] and the ambient single [Sleep Tight].\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs time has passed, the second full album [Ghost] contains traces of various changes of Secret Asian Men. There is also a reason why they had to stay in the room for a long time. Secret Asian Men slowly and quietly plays songs that comfort the world and themselves, longing for those who exist in the world but do not exist by their side. While it has the basic formation of a rock band, synths and programming actively intervene to create the mood. Secret Asian Men's [Ghost] includes 8 songs that reflect the emotions of those spending isolated time in their rooms on winter nights.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSecret Asian Men was formed in 2012 while studying in Japan. They began serious activities after recruiting Kim Yeon Jong in 2015 while rarely performing between Japan and Korea. They released two digital singles [Money] and [Sway Away] in 2015, and after about a year of preparation, they released their debut album [Secrets Beyond The Room] with 9 tracks in 2016. The debut album was nominated for the Modern Rock Album category at the 2017 Korean Music Awards. They then released an EP [Contrast] with 5 tracks in 2017 and a digital single [Sleep Tight] in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt feels like there are still people in the world who exist but do not exist by my side, which is why I titled the album ‘Ghost’.
