MINHO released his SM STATION single, "I'm Home" on March 28, 2019, marking his first music release as a soloist. The single was released after MINHO previewed it on his first fan meeting tour Best Choi's MINHO, visiting 4 different cities throughout 5 dates, spreading through February and March of 2019.
After completing his mandatory military service in November 2020, MINHO resumed his activities as a soloist and member of SHINee in 2021, releasing his debut solo digital single "Heartbreak" on December 21, the same day as his second fan meeting concert Best Choi's MINHO 2021, which was broadcasted online. MINHO performed the song at the SMTOWN LIVE 2022 : SMCU EXPRESS @KWANGYA New Year's Eve online concert, as well as a special stage on MCountdown on January 13, 2022. The song was later featured on his first mini album CHASE.
In May 2022, MINHO held the SHINee World J Presents "Best Choi's MINHO" 2022 fan meeting tour with 2 dates in Japan, performing his upcoming debut Japanese singles "Romeo and Juliet" and "Falling Free". They were subsequently released on August 24.
On December 6, 2022, MINHO released his debut solo mini album titled CHASE, coming nearly 15 years after his debut with SHINee. The music video for the title track "Chase" and the physical album were later released on December 12. The album features guest appearances from GEMINI and Lim Kim. Described as "the last piece of the puzzle", the album concludes the famous SHINee "plagiarism series", started by TAEMIN's ACE, continued by JONGHYUN's BASE, KEY's FACE, ONEW's VOICE, and now finalized by MINHO's very own CHASE. He made the debut performance of the title track, as well as some songs from the album, on his fourth fan meeting concert 2022 Best Choi's MINHO - Lucky Choi's that was held on December 7 and 8.
I'm Home
민호 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
혼자 있기 싫은 그런 밤
흥얼거린 멜로디 네가 좋아한 노래
별 의미 없이 불러보다
요즘 넌 뭐 해 어떻게 지내
밝은 조명 시끄러운 음악 화려한 옷 비싼 술
집에 돌아오니 모두 꿈같아
Oh baby I don't know what's on my mind
내가 혼자여서 그래
너무 지쳐있어 그래
딱히 네가 보고 싶은 건 아냐 (아냐)
좁은 감정 문틈 사이로
갇혀있던 어린 마음이
그냥 위로받고 싶어서 그래
(Baby I'm home)
(Baby I'm home)
(Baby I'm home alone)
아무것도 생각나지 않는 지금
기다려 달란 말이 생각이 나 이렇게 나 조급
해진 맘은 정처 없이 떠돌다
후회라는 수면 위로 끝도 없이 떠올라
널 떠올리면 붕 떠버리는 것 같아
매일 지나치려 해도 자꾸 똑같아
그냥 흘러가는 대로 따라가
거리로 흘러 정적만이 나를 반겨주네
밝은 조명 시끄러운 음악 화려한 옷 비싼 술
집에 돌아오니 모두 꿈같아
내가 혼자여서 그래
너무 지쳐있어 그래
딱히 네가 보고 싶은 건 아냐 (아냐)
좁은 감정 문틈 사이로
갇혀있던 어린 마음이
그냥 위로받고 싶어서 그래
이 방은 너무 어두워
아무도 내 편은 아닌 것만 같아
푹 꺼진 소파 위에 누워
생각이 너무 많아 잠 못 드는 밤 whoo-uh
사람들이 모두 말해
마음이란 게 원래 그래
어떤 말이라도 위로가 안돼
홀로 텅 빈 방구석에
웅크리고 앉아 기대
의미 없는 하루 또 지나 가네
(Baby I'm home)
(Baby I'm home)
(Baby I'm home alone)
The song "I'm Home" by 민호 (Minho) conveys the feeling of loneliness and emptiness that an individual experiences after coming back home from a lively night out. The lyrics describe the need for comfort and solace, seeking some respite from the feeling of being burdened and overwhelmed. The verses talk about the emptiness of the flashing lights, loud music, and expensive drinks that the persona indulged in earlier. Minho asks the listener if they have ever experienced such emotions where they do not know what is going on in their minds.
The chorus of the song revolves around the phrase, "Baby I'm home," portraying the sense of relief and comfort that the persona gets on returning home. The persona is alone in their thoughts, feeling exhausted and not particularly wanting to meet anyone. However, they seek solace from their young mind's trapped emotions and desire to receive some comforting words. The room feels too dark, and the persona can barely sleep as they struggle with their thoughts.

집에 돌아오니 모두 꿈같아
But when you come back home, it all seems like a dream
지금 느끼는 쓸쓸함이 너 때문인지 기분 탓인지
Not sure if the loneliness is because of you or just a mood
Oh baby I don't know what's on my mind

It's not like I particularly miss you (no)

I just want to receive comfort

아무것도 생각나지 않는 지금
Right now, nothing is coming to my mind
기다려 달란 말이 생각이 나 이렇게 나 조급
I'm getting anxious thinking about waiting for you
해진 맘은 정처 없이 떠돌다
My faded heart is wandering aimlessly
후회라는 수면 위로 끝도 없이 떠올라
Endlessly thinking about regrets like a surface of water
널 떠올리면 붕 떠버리는 것 같아
Whenever I think of you, I feel like floating away
매일 지나치려 해도 자꾸 똑같아
Even though I try to let the days pass by, it's always the same
그냥 흘러가는 대로 따라가
Just going along with the flow
거리로 흘러 정적만이 나를 반겨주네
Flowing down the street, only silence greets me
이 방은 너무 어두워
This room is too dark
아무도 내 편은 아닌 것만 같아
It feels like nobody is on my side
푹 꺼진 소파 위에 누워
Lying down on a completely turned off sofa
생각이 너무 많아 잠 못 드는 밤 whoo-uh
With too many thoughts, it's a sleepless night whoo-uh
사람들이 모두 말해
Everyone says
마음이란 게 원래 그래
That hearts are like that in the first place
어떤 말이라도 위로가 안돼
No words can give comfort
홀로 텅 빈 방구석에
In a completely empty corner of the room
웅크리고 앉아 기대
Sitting and leaning down
의미 없는 하루 또 지나 가네
Another meaningless day passes by
