AM302 is the debut Japanese-language studio album from South Korean singer Lee Hong-gi, the main singer of the band F.T. Island. It was released on December 9, 2015, by Warner Music Japan. [1] The album is the Japanese version of Lee Hong-gi's previous Korean-language album FM302, and it includes Japanese versions of five songs from that album in addition to three new Japanese songs. [2] The album features the lead single "モノローグ (Monologue)". [2]
The album was announced on November 12, 2015. [3] A release date of December 9, 2015, was later confirmed by FNC Entertainment. [2] The name AM302 is a combination of the AM radio frequency and Lee Hong-gi's birthday, which is March 2. [2] [4] [5] The radio concept is supposed to reflect the idea that the album contains various genres of music that people can listen to at any time, much like a radio. [4] [5]
The lead single "モノローグ (Monologue)" was arranged by Lee Hong-gi himself, who also considered doing the song with the full F.T. Island band. [4] The theme of the song is parting with a lover, [4] [3] and Billboard Japan characterized the song as painful, sad, or heartbreaking (切ない). [4] KpopStarz described the song as a "sad ballad". [3] The music video for "モノローグ (Monologue)" was released on November 12, 2015 ( JST). [3]
To promote the album, Lee Hong-gi held the LEE HONG GI 1st Solo Concert「Merry 302 MHz」 at Pacifico Yokohama in Yokohama from December 16–17 and at Grand Cube Osaka in Osaka from December 24–25. [2] [5] [6]
