Rising singer-songwriter Choi Yeo-won, shining with a bronze in the college song festival, spreads her wings for her official debut.
Choi Yeo-won unveiled her first single, 'Let's Play Together,' along with the music video for the title track of the same name, on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 11th.
Choi Yeo-won, a graduate of Seoul Arts University who granted at TV CHOSUN's 'College Song Festival' last year, received accolades from all judges, finishing in the final TOP 5 and winning the bronze. Noted for her clear and pure timbre, she garnered significant attention. Her song 'The Way Spring Comes,' showcased in the first round, made a splash with 3.7 million views on YouTube Shorts, followed by performances of 'Don't Cry,' 'Last Love,' 'Teacup,' and 'I Want to Go!' that earned her the bronze.
The first single 'Let's Play Together,' which received attention as a skilled singer-songwriter, is a song penned and composed by Choi Yeo-won herself. It has been further refined from the song she presented during her entrance exam when she was admitted to Seoul Arts University, now ready to be introduced to the world as her debut track.
'Let's entrust ourselves to the flowing wind' / 'We just need to catch happiness' / 'Let's entrust ourselves to the drifting clouds' / 'We just need to catch time'
'Let's Play Together' is an easy-listening song based on acoustic sounds, and since it was born during Choi Yeo-won's fatigue from her unfamiliar life in Seoul as a Jeju native, it is expected to provide warm comfort to listeners. The guitar sounds played by Choi Yeo-won herself enhance the warm atmosphere of the song.
Like the concept photos, the music video was also shot on location in Jeju Island. Choi Yeo-won, the 'Jeju girl' filled with the spirit of her hometown, carried her guitar on her back, moving around various places in Jeju and conveying a sense of leisure to viewers. Choi Yeo-won's clear voice and Jeju Island's beautiful nature come together to offer a healing experience.
In a time when comfort and healing are needed more than ever, Choi Yeo-won maximized her emotional impact with a serene melody and clear voice. Although she could have put significant power into her debut, she approached it comfortably in her true form. The music world she will unfold in the future is highly anticipated.
