Actor Kang Shin-il, who has been praised as 'the nation's dad,' is taking on a singing career 40 years after his debut.
The renowned actor, who has showcased a heavy presence through numerous plays, dramas, and films, released his first single album 'Aega' on June 24, leaving a profound resonance with his voice.
The single album 'Aega,' presented for the first time since his debut, is a tribute album dedicated to his 'wife,' who has quietly stood by him through all the frustrations and hardships he experienced while first walking the path of acting in his 20s, and throughout the time he has established a solid position as a 60s actor.
The first track 'Aega' is a song dedicated to Kang Shin-il by music director Han Jeong-rim, who won the arrangement and music director award at the Korean Musical Awards. It is a delicate ballad featuring calm vocals over fairy-tale-like piano melodies. It serves as a quiet confession to someone with whom he has shared the ups and downs of life, allowing a glimpse into another aspect of the actor.
The second track 'Ending Note' is a song written by music director Jo Chung-man, who is active on the theatrical stage under the name Woody, with Kang Shin-il participating directly in the lyrics. While the first track was a quiet confession of love, 'Ending Note' is a more passionate and heartfelt song based on band sounds, leaving a deep resonance with Kang Shin-il's voice harmonized with grand choruses. It becomes even more meaningful as a track where he participated in the lyrics, showcasing his serious attitude and passion for music, despite being his first album.
This album, which expresses feelings that could not be fully conveyed through the language of acting, holds special meaning for both actor Kang Shin-il and those who have long watched over him. His voice, free from the dialogue, tells of love more honestly and warmly.
Kang Shin-il's first single album 'Aega' is available for listening on various music platforms.
