Following the ‘Cherry Blossom Pension Song’ ‘Carol Pension Song’, here comes the ‘In-between-season Pension Song’. Hip-hop girl group YOUNG POSSE has released a new song, ‘COLD’, which is perfect for the extreme temperature differences between the two seasons, and has kicked off a surge in popularity.

The title song of their special album, ‘COLD’, released on the 2nd, ‘COLD’, catches the eye as it reveals a new, more emotional side of YOUNG POSSE, who has previously presented intense hip-hop songs. The melody, which highlights the hazy guitar riff and lonely emotions, and the lyrics that compare the moments of love and separation to temperature differences have combined to create a unique, retro hip-hop ballad.

In particular, the song‘s splendid ‘Support Fire’ lineup draws attention. Singer 10CM participated as a featured artist, and the music video, which was filmed entirely on location in Taiwan, features famous local actress Zeng Jinghua (Zeng Jinghua), members Do Eun and Wei Yanzheng, and depicts the story of siblings abandoned by their father preparing for revenge with different emotions, as if it were a short film.

At a commemorative showcase held at Yes24 Wonderlock Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 4th, the members said, “After completing the ‘Food Trilogy’, we wanted to break the mold, so we chose the hip-hop ballad genre. We were afraid to jump into a new change, but we’re proud and excited to have proven that we can handle another challenge through ‘Cold’.”

The collaboration with 10cm became a new ‘turning point’ for them. Leader Jung Sun-hye said, “After hearing the demo version of ‘Cold’, which we‘ve been working on since our debut, 10cm readily accepted the featuring offer he received through our company. He was delighted, saying he already knew our previous work, ‘XXL’,” and added, “Thanks to his voice, our first hip-hop ballad challenge was completed brilliantly.”

Members Do-eun and Wi Yeon-jeong took on the lead roles in their first ‘Drama Tize’ music video while seriously expressing various emotions with Jung Kyung-hwa. Do-eun expressed her gratitude, saying, “It was my first time acting seriously, but actress Jung Kyung-hwa helped me a lot by translating her lines into Korean and personally explaining the acting to me.”

Although the title song has a soft sensibility, Youngpa’s charm, which is centered around the authentic hip-hop genre, is contained in the six other tracks, including ‘Blue Dot’. Having already placed ‘Cold’ on the popularity charts of various music sites such as Melon and Bugs, they expressed their determination, saying, “We will continue to take on various challenges in line with the modifiers ‘Korean hip-hop daughter’‘K-pop‘s frog’.”
