Until recently, RP and AOE had been putting all efforts in recording and planning for the upcoming come back with the new album. Many confirmed concerts and events had to be cancelled and album progress is being postponed.

James’ recovery has been and is our first priority and AOE will continue to be focused on his medical treatment as well as supporting Moon and Soo Yoon during this difficult time.

Nonetheless, both RP and AOE staff are now back on track and pushing forth to make this time a milestone of RP’s history and trying to make RP’s come back as soon as possible.

AOE is fully aware that all RP’s fans have been waiting for RP’s new album with patience and were expecting RP’s active come back through various appearances on media, press and stages. 
We sincerely apologize to let you down and worry you. More so, we apologize and ask for your understanding for not being able to share further detailed of the accident and James injury due to internal circumstances. AOE will do our best to update James’ healing process and information regarding next album plans continuously.

We took courage in bringing this matter up to our fans because your encouragement and support will be the greatest strength and comfort to James and all Royal Pirates.

Once again, we ask for all your understanding, love and support.

You are all appreciated highly.

Sincerely,

Apple of the Eye"
