Just off the back of his new solo comeback album 'Lucky Man' and its whirlwind success, South Korean rapper Bobby is letting fans dive further into its content with a new promo film. Bobby, who is commonly known as a member of K-pop boy group iKon, dropped a new video on January 28, dubbed as a 'Jacket Making Film' in an announcement by his label YG Entertainment.

What is jacket-making?

For those who don't know what the title of the video means, here's a brief explanation. A jacket is all the artwork and imagery of an album that encases the CD. Therefore, "jacket-making" refers to the shooting process for the photos that are incorporated into said artwork, photobook or other content.
