Story is the debut Japanese studio album by South Korean singer Yesung, it was released on February 13, 2019, under Avex Trax. The album contains 11 tracks — three previously released songs and eight new material.
The pre-distribution of the album commenced on February 6, where it won first place in the iTunes K-pop ranking in Japan and other 10 countries and regions around the world.[1] A week later, Yesung's management agency confirmed the singer would have a Japanese comeback through a full-length album on February 20 marking his Japanese comeback since the release of "Splash" in 2017. The album is supported by the release of "Because I Love You" as its lead track on February 9. The music video for the song was recorded in Prague, Czech Republic.[2] On that same day, Yesung released the music video for "If You" as a Valentine's Day gift for the fans.[3]
Yesung participated in the production of several songs and the album featured an appearance by bandmates Donghae and Eunhyuk through their sub-unit Super Junior-D&E for the "For Dream" track.[1]
On November 11, 2018, three months before the album's release, SM Entertainment Japan announced Yesung would embark on a nationwide tour across Japan in a series of concerts called SUPER JUNIOR-YESUNG Special Live "Y’s STORY". The concert became Yesung's third solo Japanese tour. Shortly after the album's release Yesung promoted Story from February 20 until March 14.[4]
