Jang Geun Suk's CHIMIRO VOL.2, which was released on March 3, is an album that focuses on retro sounds. The concept of the album is a disco style that is flavored with the era from the 60s to the 80s, and it contains CHIMIRO's desire to express their music in a more colorful way by releasing a light acoustic sound. The band's second album (CHIMIRO VOL.2) contains a total of nine songs, including "Merry Go Round" and "Pause," which reflect the band's taste.
