I debuted after five years of being a trainee, but as a singer, my activities in the first album of Black Beat were almost all, and the second album did not come out in the end. I was active in my 1st album for about a year and eight months and I kept preparing for my 2nd album, but the 2nd album couldn’t come out due to various practical problems.” Black Beat was a group released by SM Entertainment under the title of the second H.O.T, but it was disbanded without sound rumors after the first album activity.

Then, Jang Jin-young was also asked about Black Beat which was given the title as a group that lacked luck because they didn’t last long while promoting as a whole group. Regarding the disbandment issue, Jang Jin-young answered, “In the past, I was upset and disliked the way people see it. I’m living well, and why everyone thought that way. Until I appeared on SBS’s K-Pop Star Season 1 as a vocal trainer from SM Entertainment, I was aware of that. But after I appeared on the show for a short time, I got a lot of contacts after I went out. At that time, it was like this in the end, in the eyes of other people. I’m not going to control it.” Jang Jin-young, who debuted as the lead vocalist of Black Beat and turned to a vocal trainer, has reached his second heyday. Appearing as a trainer in various audition entertainment shows, showing hidden entertainment and charm.
