Singer Jeong Dong-won will release his second full-length album, ‘Gift of Long Legs’, at 6 PM on the 13th.

‘Gift of Long Legs’ is his first full-length album in about 3 years since ‘Longing, The Giving Tree’, released in November 2021. While ‘Longing, The Giving Tree’ contained gratitude and longing for his grandfather who allowed him to start music, this album contains a special message to his fans.

Inspired by the novel ‘Daddy-Long-Legs’, it was produced to mean the warm comfort and support that fans and Jung Dong-won give each other as ‘Daddy-Long-Legs’, like ‘Daddy-Long-Legs’, who silently cheers from an invisible place and conveys love and hope.

This album contains a total of 14 tracks, including the double title tracks ‘흥!’ and ‘꽃등’, as well as instrumental tracks. It contains songs of various genres, from trot to sweet ballads and dance tracks with exciting rhythms, allowing one to see Jung Dong-won‘s widening musical spectrum.

In particular, the special production staff including singers Seol Woon-do, Yoon Myung-sun, Algo Boni Honsu Sangtae, and X-Child participated in increasing the level of perfection. Each song contains a different emotion, presenting a variety of charms, and expressing the feelings that Jung Dong-won wanted to convey with a variety of musical colors.

The title song ‘흥!’ is a Jung Dong-won-style song that combines trot, hip-hop, and EDM dance. It is an exciting song that expresses the wish to make the person you like happy with an upbeat dance and song after seeing them looking tired and worn out. Rapper Kim Ha-on (HAON) participated as a featured artist, creating a unique collaboration between a trot singer and a rapper.

The music video that was released simultaneously with the release not only shows a dynamic dance performance, but also a glimpse into a story that matches the song. Jung Dong-won will appear in person and show off his witty acting, radiating a different charm.

Another title song, ‘Kkotdeung’, is a song with a contrasting charm to ‘흥!’, and is characterized by delicate vocals and lyrical sensibility. The pure and consistent heart of living while holding one’s first love in one‘s heart and waiting for it is beautifully expressed through Jung Dong-won’s voice.

The first track, ‘Gift’, which runs through the overall concept of the album, presents warm lyrics and a sweet melody, as if it were a letter to Daddy-Long-Legs. This song sings about how comforting it is to have someone who silently cheers you on when times are tough, and it generously expresses gratitude and love for fans.

In addition, there are songs with various emotions and messages, such as ‘Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa’, which sings about memories of love that linger for a long time, ‘Show Up’, which is a gorgeous newtro song that mashes up jazz swing and trot like a Broadway show, ‘The Age to Confess Your Love’, which tells the story of a man who begins to open his eyes to love just before becoming an adult, ‘Again 1,2,3,4’, a rock genre that depicts the passion of youth, ‘Four Leaf Clover’, which expresses the precious memories of first love as eternal luck, ‘No matter what wind blows, no matter what season comes again’, which will be a small comfort when life is difficult, and ‘Us in the distant future’, which sings about the precious people who left my side without any warning.

Jung Dong-won‘s second full-length album, ‘Gift of Long Legs’, will be released today (the 13th) at 6 PM through various music streaming sites.
