The Collection: Story Op.1 was Jonghyun's first compilation album which was released on September 17, 2015. The songs were first released on his radio show Blue Night Radio and were inspired by listener stories. Also, many of the songs are Chapters in Jonghyun's novel Skeleton Flower: Things That Have Been Released and Set Free. On this podcast episode we go down deep with each song and discuss the inspiration and background. We talk about the lyrics and his novel's influence on the songs.
