Singer Lee O-wook, the winner of JTBC’s music audition program Sing Again 4, is releasing the single “Everything About You” (너에 대한 모든 것) on Oct. 7, his agency Music Farm Entertainment said. Asia Economy reported that the release is set for 6 p.m. that day. [ 1 , 3 ]
The release carries two songs, according to both Yonhap and Asia Economy. The title track is a remake of a song of the same name by the producing team Rocoberry, reworked for Lee’s voice, and “Shooting Star” (별똥별) is written and composed by Lee himself. Asia Economy said Rocoberry served as chief producer of the record, with guitarist Park Shin-won, who works as bandmaster for BTS’s Suga, and composer Lee Yu-jin, who arranged Jo Jazz’s “모르시나요,” also taking part. Yonhap described the title track as keeping the calm, storytelling feel of the original while adding Lee’s “explosive” singing. [ 1 , 3 ]
Lee said of “Shooting Star” that “going toward a dream is a series of frustration, failure and endurance, but even so it seems to be a repetition of moving forward,” adding that the song holds “the faint but unextinguished wish” of his twenties. [ 3 ]
Lee appeared on Sing Again 4 as contestant No. 65 and took the top prize. After the broadcast he signed an exclusive contract with Music Farm Entertainment, whose roster includes Kim Dong-ryul, Lee Juck and John Park, and joined the show’s national tour in six cities. He is a vocalist and guitarist in the band LOW and has appeared at the Beautiful Mint Life, Dongducheon Rock Festival and Asia Top Artist Festival events. [ 1 , 3 ]
Music Farm Entertainment said that Lee, “who conveyed deep resonance on every stage with a rough yet delicate voice and a strong narrative,” will establish himself as a solo artist through this record. [ 1 ]
Why it matters
The release is the first solo record for Lee since he won the televised audition and signed with Music Farm Entertainment, an agency whose roster includes Kim Dong-ryul, Lee Juck and John Park. Its outcome will indicate whether the show’s audience follows him into a solo career, which is what his agency says it expects.
