The ‘collaboration’ between NCT member Doyoung and Jaurim’s Kim Yoon-ah is a hot topic.

Doyoung sings about the contradictory feelings between dreams and reality in the song ‘Luminous’ from his second album ‘Soar’, which will be released on the 9th.

‘Dong-gyeong’ is a ballad song that expresses the depth of emotions through a composition that is heightened by the magnificent string sound on the delicate and heavy keyboard.Kim Yoon-ah of Jaurim took charge of the lyrics, composition, and arrangement, completing a unique sensibility.

The lyrics honestly express the inner contradictory feelings of longing for freedom while also wanting to turn away from it, and Doyoung’s vocals, which resonate calmly, create a sorrowful resonance.

The new album consists of a total of 10 songs, including ‘Dong-gyeong’ and the title song ‘Hello, Universe’ (Memory), and you can experience Doyoung’s sincerity in conveying the ‘power to dream’ through music.

The recording behind-the-scenes video ‘Soar Diary - page.2’, which was released on NCT YouTube channel on the 31st of last month before the release of the new album, contains Doyoung and Kim Yoon-ah’s working process and interviews, increasing immersion into the song and receiving good responses.

Kim Yoon-ah said about “Dong-gyeong,” “It’s a song I made while thinking about, ‘What is the dream of those of us who are living in the present?’” and introduced it by saying, “When I sent the demo to Do-young, he really liked it because it was a story he could understand and relate to.I think the listener will be even more touched if they listen to the music while imagining Do-young’s longing and dreams.”
