Singer Lim Chang-jung returned with a remake of "If I Hold You in My Arms" and met Billy (Son Jeong-han), a member of Cult and the original singer, for a meaningful time.
At 8 a.m. on the 5th, an interview video with Billy, a member of Cult and the original singer of "If I Hold You in My Arms," and Lim Chang-jung was released on the JG Star official YouTube channel.
Billy said, "When I was active, Lim Chang-jung started with 'Already toward me' and we appeared on broadcasts together a lot," recalling 1995. Lim Chang-jung also said, "Although I haven't contacted him much recently, he's like a brother. At that time, his songs were among my favorites. I sang 'If I Hold You in My Arms' a lot in front of him."
Then, when Lim Chang-jung expressed gratitude, saying, "I am grateful from the bottom of my heart that you willingly allowed me to remake this song," Billy replied, "On the contrary, I'm honored. I was so happy that you remade this song and that we're doing a duet stage together that I couldn't sleep."
Lim Chang-jung played his remake of "If I Hold You in My Arms" for Billy. Billy praised him, saying, "You expressed it well. There aren't many people who express it like this. His vocal ability is recognized in Korea." Lim Chang-jung smiled and said, "I tried to imitate many of your detailed parts. I tried to sing with that feeling from back then, the masculine emotion we used to sing and carry."
The two also shared their excitement about preparing the stage together. Lim Chang-jung said, "Our voices suit each other well. I think it's a time to recreate that image from back then when we sang together in karaoke," expressing his overwhelming feelings. Billy also said, "I'm so glad to be able to present this song again with Lim Chang-jung. It brings back memories," raising expectations for the duet the two will release.
The song "If I Hold You in My Arms," which Lim Chang-jung is remaking, is a classic by Cult released in 1995. Lim Chang-jung's version of "If I Hold You in My Arms" will be released at 6 p.m. on the 6th on various music sites.
