Group Melomance member Kim Min-seok's heartfelt musical letter delivered at the end of this summer is creating waves of emotion in listeners' hearts.
Unveiled on the 21st, Kim Min-seok's new digital single album 'Summer Home: Part II (下)' is conveying a deep resonance to the music industry through his profound sensitivity. This new release is a sequel album that continues the context of 'Summer Home: Part I (上),' which captivated listeners in early summer, and the title track 'Youth Diary!' full-version music video contains the narrative of youth that will beautifully adorn this summer.
The "Youth Diary!" music video, which captures Kim Min-seok running freely through green fields under a blazing sun, offers a visual pleasure like a youth film with its analog atmosphere and refreshing natural colors.
In particular, "Youth Diary!," which Kim Min-seok personally participated in writing, expresses the fever of love and the strong inner self that soothes it with shy and tender lyrics. His explosive vocal power and vocal ability stand out over the refreshingly racing band sound.
A solid track lineup also raised the album's completeness. "Overpace," featuring Gureum, tells the story of finding oneself through choices that seem reckless, and "Stroll," featuring Jeon Jin-hee, conveyed a sincere promise to cherish time with precious people because it is not eternal; these tracks harmonize with the title track to complete an organic narrative.
"Now when you think of summer, Kim Min-seok comes to mind," "music that comforts the ordinary moments you felt were insignificant," "a song that makes you want to get up after tripping on a stone and run with a lively feeling"—such empathy and acclaim continue.
Kim Min-seok will meet audiences in person through the "2026 Kim Min-seok small theater concert 'Seongharok: Between summers'" held at Seoul XSCALA from the 28th to the 30th.
