Later on, B2M announced on September 18 that Heo might have his first concert in Korea on October 26. Seven days later, it was announced that Heo will release his new album next month, October, and will join the army the following month after his said concert. Further details were released after nine days saying that Heo's concert is confirmed and hinting his enlistment date as well, saying that the exact enlist date and recruit training center have not been confirmed yet.

On October 3, B2M officially announced Heo's enlistment details through his official website. They confirmed that he will be enlisted on October 31 at 2pm at Nonsan Korean Army Training Center. He is to be enlisted as a conscripted policeman after passing in late July. It is also said that he has been preparing for the military after receiving the draft notice.

A week after, B2M released a 36-second teaser for his title track, "몸이 약한 아이" (Weak Child) featuring Japanese actress Fujii Mina through YouTube. The teaser evokes strong emotions as Heo Young-saeng delivers a soulful song while showing scenes of his past love. Finally at exactly 12 midnight of October 16, B2M released the full music video of it through its official YouTube account.
