‘Weitan’ Winner Baek Chung-kang‘s Current Status, New Challenge after 6 Years and 4 Months

Singer Baek Chung-kang has returned after 6 years and 4 months.

Baek Chung-kang will release his new single ‘Geumjeomjeom’ through various music sites at noon today (the 5th). On the 6th, he will begin full-fledged promotions by revealing the new song stage for the first time through SBS ‘Inkigayo’.

‘Geumjeomjeom’ is Baek Chung-kang’s first song in 6 years and 4 months since ‘At the End’ released in November 2018. He captured the lingering emotions and attraction that cannot be expressed in words in the symbolic title ‘Geumjeomjeom’. Baek Chung-kang‘s unique, delicate and appealing vocals stand out over a sensual dance beat. The sound that heightens the sense of immersion from the introduction and the repeated chorus of ‘closer and closer’ give the entire song a strong addictiveness. It is a song that shows a new musical color beyond Baek Chung-kang’s existing ballad image.

JNR Entertainment, his agency, said, “This song is one that Baek Chung-kang completed by immersing himself deeply in the emotions, and he plans to showcase a more mature performance and stage manner,” and explained, “Through ’Geumjeomjeom’, he will leave a strong impression on not only existing fans, but also new music fans.”

Since winning MBC‘s ‘Great Birth’ in 2011, Baek Chung-kang has received much love for his explosive singing ability and genuine stage presence. In particular, this activity is their first comeback in 6 years and 4 months and their first dance song challenge since their debut, so fans’ expectations for this activity are growing even higher.
