MANILA — South Korean singer Jay B offers an encouraging message for his listeners through his sophomore extended play (EP).

The 28-year-old artist, best known as the leader of popular boy band GOT7, dropped the EP "Be Yourself" last Sept. 21.

"It's an album about living a little more like yourself," he said Thursday in a short video message to ABS-CBN News, where he also invited Filipinos to check out the release.
