Mark Tuan has dropped the music video for lead single ‘far away’ off his debut solo studio album ‘The Other Side’.The Taiwanese-American singer, who is also a member of K-pop boyband GOT7, unveiled both the music video and the album today (August 26).In the visual, Tuan bitterly reminisces on a relationship that has come to an end as he sits on the floor of his bedroom, surrounded by photos and other trinkets from that romance.

The clips of present-day Tuan are interspersed with flashbacks of him and his former beau, until he chooses to move on by burning a treasured polaroid photo of them together.“I gave you one last chance and you fucked it up / Now you’re far away and I hope that you know / That it’s where you’ll stay,” he croons in the chorus.‘The Other Side’ was first announced early last month, and features a total of 20 tracks including standalone singles he’s released in the past year.

They include ‘imysm’,  ‘lonely’, ‘save me’, ‘my life’ and ‘Last Breath’. Notably, Tuan co-wrote all 20 songs on ‘The Other Side’ himself.“This album holds a bit of myself in there,” Tuan wrote in a tweet upon its release. “Don’t know what to say… but I really hope everyone enjoys it.”"the other side" is now out in the world.
