Singer Kim Sung-joong, formerly of ‘Peak Time’, has released his first solo debut album.

Kim Sung-joong released ‘DNDN(Day n Day n Night)’ at noon on the 8th and began full-scale activities.
Since debuting as a member of the boy group ARGON in 2019, they advanced to the finals as a member of ‘Team 24’ on JTBC survival program ‘Peak Time’, garnering attention from fans for their stable skills and genuine performances.

Recently, Kim Sung-joong signed an exclusive contract with FUTORE and took his first step as a solo artist by releasing the winter special single ‘It’ s Winter ‘with fellow team member Yoo Hee-do.

This album,’ DNDN ‘, is the starting point of the’ Antares series ‘that heralds Kim Sung-joong’ s new identity and unique musical world. With the theme of an emotional journey expanding from the Earth to space, the flow of everyday life called ‘day and night’ is expressed through music.

The title song of the same name, ‘DNDN’, sings of the light of love that exists in every moment of the day. The sweet synth sound, sensual guitar, dreamy melody, and Kim Sung-joong’s deeper vocals come together in harmony, and the lyrical lyrics and dramatic composition brilliantly capture the emotion of love.

In particular, this album includes a band arrangement version in addition to the original song, providing a special experience of enjoying one song in two ways. The band sound implemented with intense distortion guitars further enriches Kim Sung-joong’s vocals, and hints at the sensory world of the ‘Antares series’ that will follow.

This album was completed with the participation of producer and CEO of Putor, TRACK3R(real name Kim Min-hyeok), along with composers Honeybear and noovv, and for the band version, band-based artists such as Jeong Jin-hwa, Lee Jun-ho, and Park Ye-chan participated in the arrangement and performance to create a variety of sounds.

The music video, which is about to be released, also connects with the worldview. It reinterprets the ordinary ‘day and night’ that exists on Earth as the starting point of a journey into space, and expresses a cheerful and delicate worldview through the curious ‘nerd guy’ character in the jacket image.

Meanwhile, Kim Sung-joong will sequentially release various contents such as lyric videos and live clips along with the release of the album, and will hold busking performances at Nanji Hangang Park and Ttukseom Hangang Park in Seoul on the 17th and 18th, respectively.
