‘90s K-pop Icons Return with New Albums

" Legendary K-pop artist Seo Taiji finished shooting a special 75-minute comeback show at the MBC Dream Center on July 31. Following at his heels is Kim Gun-mo, another legendary K-pop solo artist of the 90s, who will officially return to the k-pop scene on August 2 by making a one-hour guest appearance on ‘Kim Jeong-eun’s Chocolate’, a popular talk show on SBS. Kim’s close friends and popular TV personalities Kim Yong-man, Kim Je-dong, Ji Seok-jin will also appear on the show alongside the artist, whose comeback is being met with high expectations from both music industry personnel and K-pop fans. MBC and SBS, two of Korea’s three major broadcasting companies, will inevitably have to compete with each other in terms of viewer ratings as the two shows will be broadcast on the same day. Both artists are confident that their new songs will be among the biggest K-pop hits of this season. The title track of Seo Taiji’s 8th single album ‘Moai’ has faired well since its debut, nabbing top spots in numerous K-pop charts. For his latest album, Kim has collaborated with composer Kim Chang-hwan for the first time in 13 years. The renowned composer wrote many of Kim’s past hits including one of the singer’s biggest hits ‘Excuses’. "
