Concept

BLOO released several concept photos and video teasers for the album. The concept images look like they are from a high school yearbook. Calling his student persona Daniel Kim, which is also his English name, his yearbook quote says “I love you to the moon and back.” He is also seen channeling his inner bad boy as he sucks on a lollipop and poses with his pet dog for the camera.
