Jeong DongWon has returned after a year and two months. Showplay Entertainment announced that he released the digital single ‘Gori’ on the 11th, marking his comeback to the fans. This new song will be a significant gift to fans who have been waiting for his new music since the release of his mini-album ‘Sopumjip Vol.1’ in 2023.
‘Gori’ is a minor ballad that highlights Jeong DongWon’s poignant voice, sensibly expressing themes of sadness, pain, and longing. The song’s climax intensifies the emotions, with solo performances by cello and viola dramatically enhancing both the beginning and end of the song. Through the word ‘Gori,’ Jeong DongWon lyrically explores emotional connections between people and relationships of love, delivering a profound message that love not only brings happiness but also accompanies pain.
The new single includes participation from top domestic session musicians such as guitarist Ham ChunHo, drummer Kang SuHo, and chorus Kim HyunA, further enhancing its musical completeness. The lyrics, contributed by lyricist Jo EunHee, present poetic and emotional expressions.
Jeong DongWon has had a busy year, engaging in various activities. In addition to his role as K-pop idol JD1, he successfully concluded his Japanese debut with the Japanese single ‘Error 405(ERROR 405).’ He also received much love with his remake digital single ‘Chaegimjyeo’ and gained attention in various entertainment programs.
The music video for ‘Gori,’ released simultaneously with the single, encapsulates the complex emotions love brings in a story, increasing the song’s immersive experience. The previously released teaser video captured a lonely and empty autumn atmosphere, heightening fans’ anticipation. There is growing excitement about the kind of response Jeong DongWon’s new song will evoke in the future.
