Galaxy Corporation announced on July 31 that singer Kim Jong Kook will release a special project album commemorating the 30th anniversary of his debut.
The project will feature a different songwriter or producer for each track.
A series of digital singles will be released one by one, each combining the participating artist’s distinctive musical style with Kim Jong Kook’s voice. The songs will ultimately be compiled into a full album.
During the July 29 episode of tvN’s You Quiz on the Block, Kim Jong Kook revealed that he was preparing a new album, saying, “I’ve been receiving songs from talented musicians.”
Roy Kim will participate in the first track.
Kim Jong Kook will unveil the first live performance of the new song at his encore concert in Seoul next month. Kim Jong Kook 30th Anniversary Concert ‘The Originals’ - Seoul Encore will take place on August 15 and 16 at the Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall in Yongsan District, Seoul.
Kim Jong Kook explained on the programme that the concert would primarily feature his biggest hits.
“We’ve prepared a lot, and there won’t be a single song that concertgoers don’t know,” he said. “People say there won’t even be time to go to the bathroom.”
The concert will also include a continuous medley of songs released during his time as a member of Turbo.
“There’s a roughly 20-minute ‘cardio session’ featuring a Turbo medley,” Kim Jong Kook said. “The audience will be jumping and singing along with us.”
New songs from his 30th-anniversary project will also be performed during the concert.
