The Moment: Bounce (stylized as The moment : 美成年, Bounce.) is the second EP by South Korean singer Kim Woojin, released on August 30, 2023 by 10x Entertainment and distributed by Stone Music Entertainment and Genie Music. The EP consists of six tracks, including the pre-released single "Say Something to Me" and lead single "On My Way".

Commercially, the EP peaked at number nineteen on the Circle Album Chart.

Background and release

[edit]

In 2021, Kim released his first EP, The Moment: A Minor.[1] Throughout the following two years, he promoted the EP with the Still Dream World Tour[2] and starred in HBO Max's Brazilian television series Além do Guarda-Roupa.[3] Kim followed up The Moment: A Minor with The Moment: Bounce, which was released on August 30, 2023. The EP was described as an extension of his previous, and presents a brighter sound than its predecessor. Kim once again participated in writing lyrics for songs on the EP.[4]

The Moment: Bounce would become Kim's final release under 10x Entertainment; the label was acquired by SM Entertainment in March 2024 and folded into the company's Kreation Music Rights subsidiary. Kim's future releases, starting with his subsequent EP I Like the Way, would be released under that label.[5]

Promotion

[edit]

To promote the EP, Kim performed on several South Korean music programs. Kim performed "On My Way" on Mnet's M Countdown on August 31,[6] KBS's Music Bank on September 1,[7] SBS M's The Show on September 5[8] and 12,[9] Arirang TV's Simply K-Pop on September 8[10] and 15,[11] and MBC Plus's Show Champion on September 13.[12]

To further promote the EP, Kim also appeared on MBC's It's Live[13] and SBS Power FM's Cultwo Show.[14]

Tour

[edit]

In support of the EP, Kim embarked on his first tour of India in October 2023, entitled The Moment Tour.[15] In early December, a tour of Europe beginning January 2024 was announced, but it was cancelled shortly after due to "unforeseen circumstances".[16]
