New artist Gongwon will make his official debut at Archive Morning, which includes singers Jo Kwon, Hong Isaak, and Kim Je-hyung.
The agency Archive Morning announced on the 19th, "Gongwon will officially release his first mini album '01' through all music streaming sites at 6 p.m. on the 27th," marking his debut.
Prior to this, on the 18th, Gongwon pre-released the music video for the debut album's included song 'Yunseul,' leaving a strong impression on listeners. This track features a piano reminiscent of shimmering Yunseul and a dramatic atmosphere shift in the latter half, making it impressive. The song develops from a calm introduction to increasingly complex and diverse sounds, capturing the feelings of loss for things that disappear.
Gongwon is the first new artist introduced by Archive Morning, which is home to artists with unique personalities and musicality, including Jo Kwon, Hong Isaak, and Kim Je-hyung. He is anticipated to showcase a fresh presence with a distinctive vocal color that contrasts with his youthful appearance.
His stage name Gongwon contains the meaning of wishing his music to be a place of rest and comfort, like a space where anyone can stay comfortably. Under the solid support of Archive Morning, Gongwon is expected to colorfuly express his unique musical style.
Gongwon's debut album '01' is based on the subgenre of alternative rock 'Shoegazing,' which originated in the late 1980s in the UK. The shoegazing one-man band 'Paran_noel' participated in enhancing the musical completeness.
Gongwon, who is garnering expectations as the first newcomer from Archive Morning, has begun full-fledged debut promotions, starting with the pre-release of the 'Yunseul' music video. His first mini album '01' is officially set to be released on the 27th.
