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 "It is great that juniors such as Yuta of NCT, Stray Kids, etc. challenge and worry about rock."Thank you to Kim Bada."
This new report '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' conveys a hot message that if you go to a song full of intense sound and free energy, even the imperfections hidden behind you can be yourself, and that you can become a brighter 'Rock Star' with someone.
As the genre is 'rock', Kim Jae-joong, a former idol, drew attention by discussing 'rock genre' in the K-pop scene. Kim Jae-joong is making various attempts on K-pop in the entertainment industry. Only the genre of rock seems to be a little reluctant to challenge idols. One member in one group did dance music, and it can be digested within the existing configuration, and one friend has to reset and organize the band to do rock. From the company's point of view, it's very heavy. This is about real and physical risks.'
At the same time, "But I think my friends are open." I heard that Stray Kids thought a lot about my performance. They said they thought a lot about what kind of path they should take when they become solo. I think it's right to think a lot. Being dragged as told is not dealing with the future, but it seems so great that idol friends grow up in music and worry about the starting point."
Also "NCT Yuta is also doing a solo career as a rock artist. It's so nice. I feel excited and want to go to the performance. Even if these attempts are not increasingly in the genre of rock, but rather in the music that sells well and sounds a lot, it seems to be appreciated to challenge them while considering risks. I also want to applaud my juniors for what I do.
Unlike in past entertainment programs, 'Rock disease has been cured', he returns to rock and attracts attention. Kim Jae-joong said "Rok's disease seems to have been cured. I tried to make it recur, but it was very hard. I think it was a disease like the 8th grade syndrome at the time. I will try to show that feeling as much as I can. I'm careful to say that the genre of rock is I love rock, rock is my life. There are so many people who can't do rock. I like it personally. It is also a genre that makes me feel free. No matter what sound or action you wear, your freedom does not change. While working as a solo artist, he expressed his affection for rock music, saying, "It's music that makes me work hard on the mission of challenging myself."
Then "It's a fun behind-the-scenes story, but Kim Bada wrote my first solo song and watched the directing." I heard that I want a friend like you to challenge the rock genre a lot. I want to support and help you with solo music. Wasn't it hard for some of your seniors to try rock. He said he wanted you to do it right first. I didn't know how to constantly challenge it for decades. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Kim Bada. How fun and happy it is to be able to be excited and challenge something new, and there are times when I want to be a boy, not an adult, but thankfully, music seems to make me that way. Thank you so much for making me nervous." He also expressed his respect for Kim Bada.
Kim Jae-joong's new EP 'Beauty in Chaos' will be released on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 19th.
