‘Living Legend’ producer Jinyoung Park released the digital single, ‘Corny Love Song (by YOYOMI)’, on February 10.
Dancing singer Jinyoung Park who emanates explosive energy on stage began a composer project titled ‘Producer Jinyoung Park’. A total of 61 songs that he wrote and composed ranked first place on major domestic and foreign music charts such as major TV music program charts, Korea’s greatest site’s weekly rankings and the Oricon chart. In December, 2019, Park held the nationwide tour, ‘Jinyoung Park Concert NO.1 X 50’ in commemoration of his 50th number one song and boasted the splendor of the all-time legend. This time, he begins a new challenge called ‘Collection of Works’ starting with the digital single, ‘Corny Love Song’, and proves once again that he indeed has the Midas touch.
‘Producer Jinyoung Park’ is a composer project where different singers sing songs that Jinyoung Park writes. He calls the genre of the first song, ‘Corny Love Song’ ‘controt’ which combines American country and Korean trot. The song shares common points of the two genres, namely, pure and emotional melody and lyrics and the accompaniment was recorded only with basic band instruments. Even the sound equipment consisted of vacuum tube microphones and preamps which were used in the 70’s to reproduce the analog sensitivity of the era. Famous session musicians such as Chunho Ham, Yongjun Park and Seokcheol Shin participated to enhance the sensibility of the song.
Rising ‘trot fairy’ YOYOMI was selected as the singer through an open audition. With her captivating voice, the first guest singer of ‘Producer Jinyoung Park’ not only depicted the sad emotions of Korean trot, but also amplified the feelings of American country and folk music to double the charm of ‘Corny Love Song’.
It’s the first challenge of a new genre for Park and YOYOMI, but with great teamwork, they created a color of their own. YOYOMI’s activities centered on trot music, but with participation in the project, she attempted various transformations and added new charm. Park directed the overall production from the song to the jacket photo and music video concept so that it would all connect naturally for musical perfection.
Along with the song, a visual with a strong Korean retro sensitivity was presented to bring back the emotions and nostalgia of those days. With ‘Corny Love Song’, Park stirs up a ‘K-retro’ frenzy and offers special music that all generations can enjoy.
Park, the ‘eternal ttanttara(entertainer)’, conveys a special influence on the music world with endless attempts. Last year, he turned ‘When We Disco (duet with SUNMI)’ and Rain’s ‘Switch to Me (duet with JYP)’ into hit songs to boast a duet synergy on stage. Expectations are high for Park’s ‘Collection of Works’ as he expands territory with his endless passion for music regardless of generation and genre.
