'Trot Empress' Song Ga-in has started a new challenge.
On the afternoon of the 11th, a showcase was held at Sky Art Hall in Gangseo-gu, Seoul to commemorate the release of Song Ga-in's fourth full-length album 'Gain;Dal'. Song Ga-in's comeback is the first time in two years and 10 months since his third full-length album 'Yeon Ga' released in April 2022.
Song Ga-in won the final title in TV Chosun 'Tomorrow is Mistrot' and stood tall as 'Trot Empress'.
He said "I can't keep up with the fandom of male singers, but I'm trying to work hard in it. I got the issue for the first time at the audition. The modifier 'Trot Empress' is burdensome and weightless. My juniors are only looking at me, and I'm doing my best to lead them together because I'm doing well first."
'Gain;Dal' is an album of various genres, from traditional trot to modern songs, ballads, and medium tempos, with the unique tone of Songain. In particular, this album is meaningful in that it is his first work to announce after signing a management contract with JG Star, who left Pocket Doll Studio and established a one-man agency, G-Dal Entertainment, in September last year.
Song Ga-in joined the new agency and worked on the album himself for the first time. When I tried it myself, it wasn't normal. I felt and realized a lot thinking that the company must have been really hard. It took a long time to receive a lot of songs, but the company took a lot of care and came in with a lot of good songs", he introduced.
The title song 'Asadal' is an authentic trot song inspired by the tragic story of Asadal, a stonemason who built the Seokgatap Tower of Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju.
Song Ga-in "It is about Asadal leaving to build the Seokgatap Tower after being called by the Silla king, but the Asa girl, who was left alone, waited relentlessly and ended her life in the pond. I chose this song because I thought it was this song. When I first heard the song, I was so sad that I was more deeply immersed than any other song and was impressed. At the end, the part that expressed the last breath of an asa girl is the listening point.
The double title song 'I'm tearing up' is the work of Shim Soo-bong. He calmly unraveled his feelings of letting go of his loved one.
Song Ga-in "I went to see a random teacher, and it turned out that my house was a minute away. I was destined to receive the song because I heard that you had written a song. Originally, I was going to give it to Son Tae-jin (grandchild of nephew Shim Soo-bong), but he said he didn't because it didn't suit him. No one asked for this song, but I took courage and became the first junior to receive it. He taught me one-on-one lessons several times. He even produced and sang an impromptu chorus in the recording studio. I was indescribably grateful and honored. I studied with my teacher when I was unknown. I am grateful that the teacher, who is a role model, handed down a luxury song. He was thrilled.
In addition, the album contains nine songs in a variety of genres, including authentic trot 'Farewell ', a song about the sorrowful heart of a young man and a woman in love 'Red Woodcut Flower', a Latin funky genre 'Why Me', a childhood mother's love 'Saekdongjeogori', a drawing of her father's love 'Father's Tears', and a hopeful song 'Going by'.
In particular, Song Ga-in wrote the fan song 'lifetime' and expressed his sincerity toward Again (official fan club).
Song Ga-in was made by thinking about the fans. If I sing this song at the concert, I thought I and the fans would cry. It's a meaningful song, so I think it'll last forever."
Song Ga-in will release 'Gain;Dal' at 6 p.m. on the 11th and start full-fledged comeback activities.
