On April 11, 2018, Nam released his third EP, Honestly. Led by singles "Honestly" and "Potion", the latter of which featured rapper Woodie GoChild and was released ahead of the album on April 9.

The show reached number one on the Music Podcast Charts in over 25 countries, including the US, UK, and South Korea.
