Kim Jae-hwan, returning with a more mature and deepened sensibility that far surpasses his military hiatus, offers consolation on a radiant spring day.
Kim Jae-hwan released the digital single "I'll come get you now" and its music video at 6 p.m. on the 22nd across various music sites.

The new song "I'll come get you now" is a rock ballad that carries a message of love and consolation, promising to steadfastly stay by your side even in weary, exhausted moments. Over smoothly flowing guitar melodies, Kim Jae-hwan's characteristically pleading timbre naturally seeps in and instantly captures the ears. Tight rhythms produced by drums, bass and keyboards gradually raise the song's energy, while majestic string melodies woven over them combine to create an acoustic band sound as cozy as a spring day.

He devotedly showcased his excellent producing skills by handling lyrics and composition and even playing the guitar himself. Within his now firmer vocals, the warmth of sincerity and the fine density of emotion are tightly layered. Also, to maximize the song's quality, all instruments — drums, bass, guitar, strings — were recorded with real sessions, producing a richer, more three-dimensional high-end sound.
"Under the bursting fireworks / I'll run and hold you tight / All the hidden pain will disappear / Will you stay there just for a moment / I'll come get you now"
The accompanying music video draws attention with sensory, lyrical visuals that evoke a well-made youth film.

His heartfelt performance, fully absorbed into the music, calmly depicts radiant moments of consolation and love, and as the video progresses toward the end, it delivers a swelling emotional catharsis.
