The group YOUNG POSSE (Jung Sun-hye, Wi Yeon-jeong, Jiana, Do-eun, Han Ji-eun) will be releasing their first winter season song since their debut, ‘ㄱㅓ리에서… (With John Park)’.
‘ㄱㅓ리에서… (With John Park)’ is a song where you can encounter the melody and sound of the Motown era that took the American pop scene by storm, including Boyz II Men and Jodeci. Young POSSE, who mainly showed off strong rapping in authentic hip-hop-based songs, perfectly absorbs the deep R&B color through this season song, showing off their sponge-like charm.
Singer John Park provided support, further enhancing the perfection. John Park added depth with his heavy narration and soulful chorus that double the mood of the song. The unexpected meeting of two artists is expected to create unpredictable synergy.
Since his debut in October of last year, Youngpa, who has been nicknamed the ‘K-pop scene frog’ with his bold and eccentric musical attempts, intentionally separated the consonants and vowels of ‘거’ in the song title. It is used as a device to arouse the listener‘s interest while further emphasizing the sincerity of the speaker towards ‘너’, adding to the fun of listening.
‘ㄱㅓ리에서… (With John Park)’ is Youngpa’s first seasonal song since his debut. Having released two EPs this year, as well as holding a tour in the Americas and a fan concert, Youngpa is continuing his unstoppable pace in various ways until the end of the year and communicating closely with his fans.
Youngpa will release the digital single ‘ㄱㅓ리에서… (With John Park)’ through various music sites at 6 PM today (the 13th). Youngpa will wrap up the year-end with his fans by holding an encore fan concert ‘YOUNG POSSE WINTER FAN CONCERT ’HOMECOMING POSSE‘’) at Yes24 Wonderlock Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul the following day on the 14th.
