Composer Cho Yong-s and POCKETDOL STUDIO's representative Kim Gwans team up. POCKETDOL STUDIO revealed on the 14th that Kim Gwans and Cho Yong-s will collaborate to release a medium-tempo song. This is the first medium-tempo song to be performed since SG WANNABE, See Ya, and Davichi about 13 years ago. The song is said to evoke memories of SG WANNABE's "Midsummer Day's Dream" released in 2007. BAE173's Jaemin and Yongso, CLASS:y's Won Jimin and Park Bowon, and FANTASY BOYS' Lynch will participate in the singing. Cho Yong-s' composition "Midsummer Day's Dream" was a medium-tempo song full of exotic atmosphere and was loved by many people when it was released. Following this song, which delivered healing with lyrical lyrics and warm melodies, BAE173, CLASS:y, and FANTASY BOYS are highly anticipated to deliver a new kind of healing with their new songs. Representative Kim Gwans has produced numerous stars such as SG WANNABE, See Ya, Davichi, and T-ARA. Known as the "Midas' hand of the entertainment industry," Representative Kim Gwans made a strong impact on the music industry by producing Soprano singer Sumi Jo's "If I Leave." Recently, he was appointed as the head of the entertainment division of Hallyu Holdings and announced a new project "Hope is a waking dream." Composer Cho Yong-s has composed various hit songs such as SG WANNABE's "Lalala," "Arirang," "My Person," "Like the Beginning," and "Madness," See Ya's "Shall We Marry," "Crazy Love Song," and "I Hate You," Kim Jong-kook's "Footsteps," Davichi's "Love and War," T-ARA's "Lie," and "Women's Generation" and "Wonder Women." Cho Yong-s also released the "All STAR" project under his own name, which became a hot topic with the participation of co-producer Representative Kim Gwans. The two have teamed up on songs by SG WANNABE, See Ya, Davichi, and have rewritten the history of medium-tempo music in Korea. In particular, the unit KayaG, formed through the MBC variety show "What Do You Do If You Play?" performed medium-tempo songs, evoking nostalgia in the public and increasing interest in the medium-tempo genre. Last year, Cho Yong-s produced KayaG's new song "To You," which expressed the importance and excitement of finding love in a poignant song that became popular. As the composer who has led the medium-tempo boom to this day, Cho Yong-s and Representative Kim Gwans, the instigators of the medium-tempo boom, are attracting attention for what kind of music they will perform this time, and the beautiful harmony of BAE173, CLASS:y, and FANTASY BOYS will be another point of appreciation.
