May 15, 2025

K-pop sensation Jae Chan of DKZ is making waves with his return as a solo artist through his second mini-album JCFACTORY vol.2, released on June 16 at 6 PM KST. This latest project reflects Jae Chan’s transformation as an artist, aiming to leave a lasting impression with his distinct musical identity.

The title track, ‘Poster Boy’, marks Jae Chan’s first foray into chill R&B. Blending emotional expression with dynamic sound, the track showcases his trendy vocal tone alongside a powerful message of courage and self-belief—highlighting that anyone can shine on their personal stage.

The accompanying music video further amplifies Jae Chan’s image as a generational icon, transitioning into the symbolic ‘Poster Boy’ character that resonates with Gen Z fans. This visual component reinforces his philosophy of breaking free from standards and carving out a unique path.

JCFACTORY vol.2 consists of five tracks, each portraying different shades of emotion and musical styles. These include:

‘Paradise’ – A gentle melody depicting the sense of completeness when with someone special.
‘The Light’ – A ballad capturing the heart-fluttering moments at the start of love.
‘Step to you’ – A confident and stylish interpretation of a love confession.
‘Y.O.U (solo ver.)’ – A fresh solo rendition of a previous unit track, merging innocence and maturity through vocals.

This album follows his well-received debut mini-album, JCFACTORY, released in September 2023. Nearly 20 months later, Jae Chan returns not just with new music but also new insights and artistic direction.

In both JCFACTORY and JCFACTORY vol.2, Jae Chan has actively participated in songwriting and overall production, solidifying his role not just as a performer but also as a genuine creator. His consistent involvement proves his musical evolution and commitment to growth, earning him the apt title of the ‘factory manager’ behind his own sound.

As JCFACTORY vol.2 becomes available on major streaming platforms, fans worldwide are eager to witness the next chapter in Jae Chan’s artistic journey.
