Singer Kim Jae-joong expressed his feelings about challenging the rock genre from an idol group.

Kim Jae-joong held a meeting of the new EP 'Beauty in Chaos' at the Golden Mouse Hall of the MBC building in Sangam, Seoul on the 19th and said "Why is it bad for idols to be locked?" "Hee-joon opened the door with difficulty for the first generation."

Kim Jae-joong's Sinbo 'Beauty in Chaos' captures a new beginning from the center of chaos. A total of five tracks, which depict one emotional aspect like a sculpture, go beyond simple genre division and combine various genres such as intense rock sound, dreamy electronic, and soft rock ballads to enjoy Kim Jae-joong's colorful musical spectrum.




The title song 'ROCK STAR' is a song full of intense sound and free energy, and it conveys a hot message that even the imperfections hidden behind it can be truly me, and that with someone, I can become even more brilliant 'Rock Star'.

Kim Jae-joong is a song that expresses the desire for freedom. Originally, I tried to write lyrics, but I liked the lyrics written by the writer so much that I decided to go with the existing one. In Korea, I think the genre of rock has been prejudiced for a long time. I think there is a preconceived notion of looking at any genre even if it is not rock. I thought everyone would have a craving and thirst for expression. I wanted to convey a message to relieve thirst through music."

The fact that former idols challenge the rock genre "I think the group directs the music to some extent at work, and the soloists have their own music and take a journey to find their way. I think it will be easy for juniors if the senior opens the way that is difficult to open first, but I don't think it's been long since Rock heard it in the public."




Then "Coldplay and these bands fused the genre of rock into various ways, and the ears seemed to be familiar and open to music. When it comes to the first generation, I think Heejun opened it for me Why is it bad that idols do rock. There are rappers in idol music, and there are various positions. In the past, 'idol, do you know hip-hop?' There was a time like this. Now that the public also treats music with an open mind, I want to try and work hard on various genres a little more freely and give good music to them."

Kim Jae-joong's new EP 'Beauty in Chaos' will be released on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 19th.
