Background

Kyuhyun established himself as the crown prince of ballads through his first solo album At Gwanghwamun, which swept music, album and music video charts, as well as music programs, when it was released in November 2014. Crowned the vocalist of fall with "At Gwanghwamun", Kyuhyun's second solo album Fall, Once Again garnered interest as one of the most-anticipated albums of the season.[3]

Fall, Once Again was released at midnight on 15 October 2015, and was expected "to blow through the fall season like a gust of wind once again."[3]
