Brown Eyes Vol. 3 – Two Things Needed For The Same Purpose And 5 Objects (June 20) Yoon Gun and Naul, whom we have missed, have finally returned. They had changed Korea’s music back with their hit songs, “Already One Year” and “More and More.” It’s been five years since their last album release and for the past two years, the duo had kept their recordings a secret. With a total of fourteen tracks in this new album, all the songs are worth listening. The title track of the album is “Don’t Leave Don’t Leave” and it was composed by Yoon Gun himself, with the lyrics written by Lee Ssang member, Gary. It’s a three beat up tempo ballad and we can hear the duo’s great harmonization and charms. The song is about the emotions one feels after a breakup. In addition, the song, “Because of You” is a medium-tempo pop track like “Already One Year.” “Like a Flame” is an electronica house song with oriental strings. “Summer Passion” is of the club house genre and its funky rhythms and electronic effects are great to listen to when out for a drive or at a club. “Don’t You Worry” is a trendy house track and it is filled with romantic melodies. “Let’s Get Down” has a Latin flavor and bright melody.
Ok Ju Hyun Vol. 3 – Remind (released) One of Korea’s best musicians, Ock Joo Hyun, has returned with her third studio album after four years. The title track is Honey, and it was composed by Cho Young Soo. Honey is of the lounge and electronica genres; it has a simple theme with piano instrumentals. This dance track is of medium tempo and its great melody matches well with Joo Hyun’s voice. The music video is made by Jo Soo Hyun, who has also made videos for MC Mong’s Circus and Jewelry’s One More Time Shh. The video was recorded with a 35mm film camera.
J-Walk Vol. 3 – My Love (June 17) J-Walk, who did very well last year with their single “Fox Rain”, have come back with their third album. The title track of their album is “My Love”, which is an easy-listening house track that only J-Walk could master. Kim Seh Jin, who is also responsible for Lyn’s “We Loved” and Wheesung’s “If it’s a Year”, composed this song. Eun Ji Won is featured in the track. There are a total of eleven tracks in this album and fans who have anticipated this album will enjoy it from the click of the play button.
Lee Jung Vol. 4 – Fourth Force (June 17) One can feel Lee Jung’s force just as his new fourth studio album suggests. Lee Jung, who debuted solo with “Again” in 2003, has gained much fame over the years because of his ballads. In this album, Lee has matured much more since his last and one can feel this through his music. The title track of the album is “When I See Only You”, a ballad track with similar styles to “Just One Breath” and “Love For You.” It has sad, touching lyrics. One can also see Lee Jung’s acting skills through the music video as well as the show, “Unstoppable Marriage” in which this song was originally showcased.
Il Ji Mae (SBS Drama) OST (June 16)
SBS Drama Special, Starring Lee Junki, Han Hyo Joo, Park Si Hoo Many talented artistrs have take part in this OST: Park Hyo Shin, Ung Sang, and Yoo Ul.

MC the Max ISU (single) – I Love You (released) ISU, who released his debut solo album in April, has returned with a new album. The title track of the album, “I Love You”, was composed by Min Myung Ki, who wrote Gave NJ’s Lie, and Choi Gap Won, who wrote ISU’s last title track, “Pierrot.” “I Love You” is a rock ballad which, unlike most ballads, is a bit faster with beats. ISU’s smooth vocals can be heard through this song.
