New virtual idol group Saryeonghwa (四靈花) is taking its first step into the music industry.
Saryeonghwa (四靈花, Cheongmok·Bihwa·Maehwarin·Baekhee) will officially release the single "Miro (迷路)" at 6 p.m. today (13th) on various music streaming sites.
"Miro (迷路)" is the song of the same name as the original theme animation released on the 31st of last month, and a portion of the song was pre-released as it was featured in that animation. Listeners responded enthusiastically at the time, saying "the song fits the theme's mood perfectly" and "the members' voices are so good," drawing significant interest from music fans.
In particular, "Miro (迷路)" raised its musical completeness with the participation of composer sweetch, who has worked with many K-pop artists such as Lovelyz, LOONA, and fromis_9. A narrative arrangement that delicately combines Western strings with elements of Korean traditional gugak and members' distinctive vocals, adding a Korean sound, weaves Saryeonghwa (四靈花)'s unique story into music.
Saryeonghwa (四靈花) is the second virtual idol group presented by subculture-focused label GRIM Production, and it has an original worldview inspired by Korean traditional folklore. It consists of four members: mountain spirit Cheongmok (淸木), goblin Bihwa (飛火), plum spirit Maehwarin (梅花麟), and virgin ghost Baekhee (白姬). The group name Saryeonghwa (四靈花) carries the meaning that "four sacred beings gather to form one flower, that is, to bloom a beautiful story."
GRIM Production set a new milestone in the virtual idol market last year by introducing its first virtual idol group, WISHes (WISHes). Following that trend, it expressed its ambition to present a new direction for Korean-style virtual artists that combine musicality and worldview through Saryeonghwa (四靈花).
Saryeonghwa (四靈花)'s single "Miro (迷路)" can be listened to on various music streaming sites from 6 p.m. today (13th). Along with the single release, the group plans to continue broad activities that encompass music and story across various platforms.
