NOW isn't just an album title; it's a powerful message. Samuel wants listeners to cherish the present moment, the fleeting beauty of ‘now.’ This six-track album promises to be a deeply personal exploration of Samuel's true inner self. Fans can expect a unique blend of hip-hop and R&B, all infused with Samuel's signature style. The dedication and hard work Samuel poured into NOW is evident. He actively participated in the production of all six tracks, with a particular focus on the lead single, ‘YEH! YEH!’

At the tender age of 13, Samuel burst onto the scene. However, the young artist admits to feeling a sense of uncertainty about his artistic identity. NOW represents a powerful break from the past. Samuel is no longer the unsure teenager; he's a confident artist ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and musical exploration.

In a heartfelt message to his fans, Samuel acknowledges the challenges of the hiatus. He said, “It was very difficult for me to return after a hiatus of 5 years. Without the Garnets who have supported me, I may be living a completely different life. Thanks to fans who have stayed with me and encouraged me, I was able to endure all the difficult times. I want to repay Garnets by continuing to grow into a great artist. I am excited and proud more than ever. Sending love to my dad, and Garnets.”

Samuel's journey began on the globally recognized MNET program PRODUCE 101, where he garnered a massive international following. He then embarked on a successful solo career, releasing a single album, ‘ONE,’ and a full-length album, TEENAGER, in 2018. Now, under the umbrella of Samuel Management & Entertainment Music Group, Samuel seems poised to take his career to even greater heights.
