2023.11.10 K-Pop Newsletter (Vol.30)

– Hi!

Singer-songwriter WOO JEE WON has finally dropped her first studio album [Homeground], consisting of 10 folk songs with ambient music elements. The new album was all recorded in a converted attic. Click here to listen to the full album!

Not many would have expected this kind of album coming from WOO JEE WON, since her former music was more pop-like, for example, ‘5 in the morning’. However she was the member of acoustic duo ‘HAIL’, so it wasn’t that random. Thus, you can say [Homeground] is the result of WOO’s whole music career.

The title song ‘I said I love you’ starts with a car door opening sound and all kinds of car sounds – gear shifting and turn signal sounds – are used throughout the song till the end. As the MV shows, it feels like you’re on a car with WOO JEE WON.
