Description (Translated):
'Jang Min-ho' 1st mini album [Essay ep.1]“The beginning of an episode with no ending”
Jang Min-ho, who wrote a luxury 'drama' last year, released his first mini-album [Essay ep.1] to open in 2022.
[Essay ep.1] is the first mini-album of Jang Min-ho, so it is composed of various genres so that you can feel the new charm that has not been shown before. You can see the commentary of the b-side songs.
From "Thank you and I'm sorry to my person" in the form of a letter expressing gratitude and apologies to the person you love, to "blunt", which captures the heart of a man who leaves in a cold-hearted manner, fearing that the woman he loved will not forget him. 'There is no correct answer', which tells us not to be intimidated by others' words while living in the world, and 'Cheer up', which contains the joys and sorrows of life's long journey. Finally, 'Only Once in a Miracle' depicting a meeting with a beautiful relationship in life. An essay written by Jang Min-ho through this album will be a story that anyone can relate to as they go through life.
In addition, [Essay ep.1] is an album that stands out in collaboration with famous producers. The first track 'Thank you and sorry for my person' was not only produced by composer Cho Young-soo, a hit maker, but also a leader in retro music with 'There is no correct answer'. Muse took charge of producing and tried a new sound by combining the euro dance genre of the 80s with trot. As it turns out, 'Mutuktuk', which sounds like watching a musical, and 'Cheer', a Korean traditional music ballad trot, are also active as addictive hits. The best drama OST music director Kim Sun-min composer and R&B genre Park Hyo-shin and Park Hwayobi's songs to dance genre talented composer Choi Jae-eun, who has a diverse musical spectrum, made this album even richer by producing it.

'장민호' 첫 번째 미니 앨범 [에세이 ep.1]“결말이 정해지지 않은 에피소드의 시작”
지난 한 해 명품 '드라마'를 써 내려간 장민호가 2022년 포문을 여는 첫 번째 미니 앨범 [에세이 ep.1]를 발매했다.
[에세이 ep.1] 은 장민호가 처음으로 선보이는 미니 앨범인 만큼 이전에 보여주지 않은 새로운 매력을 느낄 수 있도록 다채로운 장르로 구성되었으며, 앨범 속 화보집에는 새로운 이미지의 컨셉 포토와 함께 장민호가 직접 손글씨로 작성한 수록곡 코멘터리를 만나 볼 수 있다.
사랑하는 사람에게 전하는 고마움과 미안함을 편지 형식으로 말하는 '고맙고 미안한 내사람'부터, 사랑했던 여자가 자신을 잊지 못할까 봐 냉정한 모습으로 떠나는 남자의 마음을 담아낸 '무뚝뚝'. 세상을 살아가는데 결코 남들의 말에 주눅 들지 말라는 '정답은 없다' 와 인생의 긴 여정 속 희로애락이 담긴 '저어라'. 마지막으로 한 번뿐인 인생의 아름다운 인연과의 만남을 그린 '한 번뿐인 기적'까지. 장민호가 이번 앨범을 통해 써 내려간 한 편의 에세이는 누구나 인생을 살아오며 공감할 수 있는 이야기일 것이다.
또한 [에세이 ep.1] 은 유명 프로듀서들과의 콜라보가 돋보이는 앨범으로 첫 번째 트랙 '고맙고 미안한 내사람' 은 히트곡 메이커 조영수 작곡가가 프로듀싱했을 뿐 아니라, '정답은 없다'는 레트로 뮤직의 선두주자 뮤지가 프로듀싱을 맡아 80년대 유로 댄스 장르를 트로트와 결합해 새로운 사운드를 시도했다. 한 편의 뮤지컬을 보는 듯한 사운드의 '무뚝뚝' 과 국악 발라드 트롯 '저어라' 역시 중독성 강한 히트곡들로 활약하고 있는 알고보니 혼수상태의 프로듀싱으로 참여했으며, 이번 앨범의 마지막 트랙 '한 번뿐인 기적' 은 최고의 드라마 OST 음악 감독 김선민 작곡가와 R&B 장르 박효신과 박화요비의 곡부터 댄스 장르까지 다양한 음악적 스페트럼을 가진 실력파 작곡가 최재은이 프로듀싱에 나서 이번 앨범을 더욱 풍성하게 만들었다.
