SEOUL, Feb. 8 (Yonhap) - "I think I'm lucky to introduce you to another album and a song."
Singer Im Chang-jung has returned with a deep ballad song through his third mini album "I’m a fool."
This album is the first song in a year and three months since "Nothing Special with the Day" released in November 2021.
A total of five songs are included in the album, including the title track "I’m a fool.” Im Chang-jung has participated in writing and composing all the songs.
Im Chang-jung has expressed his feelings about returning as a ballad singer after a long time at a showcase in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on Wednesday.
"I've released more than 20 albums so far, and this album has the highest production cost," he said with a laugh.
The title song expresses deep longing and regret for the relationship that has left.
Im Chang-jung has introduced that he prepared a lot for this song.
"In the past, I used to sing it two or three times at most, but this time, I sang it about 11 times," he said. "I repeatedly redid the recording and sang it again because it seemed like I didn't understand the song and couldn't get into the emotion."
About the song "Forgiveness," which expresses the sorrow of not being able to catch the woman who was about to leave, he introduced that it was completed by adapting the wife's first lyrics.
Im Chang-jung has started his career in the entertainment industry in 1990 by starring in the movie "North Korean Partisan in South Korea." He then took his first step in the music industry by releasing his first full-length album "Already to Me" in 1995. This year marks the 28th anniversary of his debut.
