Group KINGDOM’s Arthur captivated fans with his homme fatale charm.

Kingdom (Hwon, Jahan, Dan, Arthur, Mujin, Louis, Ivan) released their 7th mini album ‘History Of Kingdom: Part Ⅶ.’ through their official SNS at midnight on the 5th. JAHAN (History of Kingdom: Part 7. Jahan)’ Arthur’s personal concept photo was released.

In the published photo, Arthur is wearing a khaki-colored outfit and showing off his unique aura. The way she looks at the camera creates a strange sense of tension. In another photo, Arthur is wearing a white outfit and striking a dynamic pose. In particular, Arthur aroused the admiration of those who saw her unique hairstyle perfectly.

‘History of Kingdom’, which consists of 7 parts, is an epic story of a king trying to awaken as a true king and six kings from different timelines who help him. This album is the last episode of Season 1, which Kingdom has been running for about three years, and will cover the story of Jahan from the ‘Kingdom of the Sun’.

Accordingly, Kingdom member Arthur gave a Q&A through his agency GF Entertainment prior to the release of his new album.

The following is Kingdom Arthur Q&A.

━

-This is a comeback after 7 months. How do you feel?

▶I’m excited because it’s my comeback after a long time. This time, there are a lot of new features that are different from the previous work, and I feel good about showing them to Kingmaker (fandom name).

-How do you feel about completing your first North and South American tour since your recent debut, and is there a stage or performance you would like to perform in the future?

▶Personally, I would like to tour one more time. I was touched that more fans came than I expected and that they memorized every cheering method.

– Concluding the 7th episode of ‘History Of Kingdom’, which part is most memorable?

▶I think it might be ‘Excalibur,’ where I was the main character. It was also my first album, and I filmed my first music video, and I can’t forget the excitement and nervousness I felt at that time.

-What did you gain the most from the 7 episodes that ran over the past 3 years?

▶It seems like we have gained a lot of kingmakers both domestically and overseas. We realized that many people love us. I really want to work harder and hold concerts in the future.

-How do you feel about finishing the 7-part series, which had a vast worldview?

▶I think ‘refreshing and sad’ is the correct expression. It’s sad that the album that I was wondering ‘when will it end’ until the beginning and middle of the album is coming to an end right before my eyes, but there’s also another excitement about being able to start anew.

-Is there a point to watch for this album?

▶The choreography is addictive. The chorus part of the song is a hook song that any member of the public can sing along to. I think it’s probably the most popular of our albums.

-Who is the role model that made you dream of becoming a singer?

▶My role models are BTS Jimin senior and Park Minhyuk senior. My dream of becoming a singer grew while watching senior Jimin. Also, it is no exaggeration to say that during her career, she steadily improved her dancing skills by watching senior Park Min-hyuk.

-Are there any domestic or foreign artists you would like to collaborate with?

▶This is senior Park Minhyuk. He has a dance line that I really like, and he sings and raps very well. I really want to collaborate with you because you have many of the essential requirements that an idol must have.

-It’s been 3 years since debut. Is there a fan who impressed you the most?

▶I think the fans who come often are what I remember the most.

-Do you have any future goals or dreams?

▶Hold a concert with Kingmaker.

-Lastly, please say a word to Kingmaker.

▶Kingmaker We have come back even better, so don’t go anywhere and stay by our side. I may not always be someone who likes Kingmaker well, but I will become someone who enjoys my job. Thank you so much for the past 3 years and I hope to see you again in the future. I love you.

Meanwhile, Kingdom’s 7th mini album ‘History Of Kingdom: Part Ⅶ.’ will be released at noon on the 18th. JAHAN’ will be released simultaneously worldwide.
