Singer Jang Kiha's first solo studio album, "Shattered," will be unveiled for the first time in the form of a short film at the 27th Jeonju International Film Festival, his agency Durudu Artist Company announced on April 17.

"Shattered" will be screened once a day at the Jeonju Film Festival from May 1 to May 3. On May 1 and 2, Jang Kiha will attend and hold a Q&A session with the audience (GV) to discuss the album production process.

Jang Kiha debuted in 2008 as part of the band "Jang Kiha and the Faces" and released five studio albums over the course of about ten years. After ending his band activities and transitioning to a solo musician, he has prepared this project ahead of the release of his first solo studio album scheduled for this September.

This album follows a creative process that begins with poetry, continues with a silent film, and culminates in music. At a recent performance, Jang Kiha said, "After looking inward, I wrote poems and produced a silent film with director Mo Geosu," adding, "It took about two years to complete music that matches the length of the film."

Moon Seok, programmer at the Jeonju International Film Festival, described the work as "a bizarre and experimental result," stating that "it is difficult to define in a single category."
