On October 12th at 6 p.m. KST, Baekho made his first step into a new chapter with the release of his solo debut EP and the music video for his title track, “No Rules.”
Co-written and co-composed by Baekho himself, the song makes use of a distinctive bass line and rock sounds to set the mood as it sings about drowning out the noise as they share a special moment with someone in the middle of a bustling city. BUMZU, Isran, Krysta Marie Youngs, and Howard Fleetwood also penned the lyrics of the track and composed the melody.
Absolute Zero has a six-track playlist and the singer helped write and compose five of the songs. The album was described to represent Baekho’s readiness to create his unrestrained own path in music as a soloist.
Baekho debuted with NU’EST in 2012 and competed in the idol survival program “Produce 101 Season 2” alongside fellow members JR, Minhyun, and Ren in 2017. In February 2022, Pledis Entertainment announced that the group’s contract with the agency was ending. The following month, Aron, JR, and Ren decided to leave while Baekho and Minhyun remained with the company.
