Kim Dong Wan, who’s been in the music industry for ten years with hits songs such as Handkerchief, will be leaving us for two years for the army. But before he does, he is to release his last single album, Promise. Looking back at the times where fans have stayed by his side, Kim Dong Wan is very thankful and is releasing this single as a farewell gift filled with honesty. The title track, Promise, is a duet with Younha and is about the honesty between a separated couple. The song was composed by Konan and lyrics were written by An Young Min. Can’t Forget, on the other hand, has relaxing piano sounds.

Clazziquai’s special album, Metrotronics with DJ Max.

Clazziquai have been given the chance to show more of their techno music through the soundtrack for the mania action game, “DJ Max Portable”.

Included in this album is a special DVD, which includes the music videos for the title track, Flea and Beat In Love, which was only promoted in Japan. The making-of footages are also included. The music video for Flea expresses the confused state of uncertainty in the present world.

Composed by Wanted’s Kim Jae Suk, this unplugged version has a live feel to it. The third track is a small present for fans. It is a recording of when the girls first got the songs, Love and My Style. One can hear Je-A’s piano accompaniment as well as the girls in practicing mode. The girls’ lovable feeling as well as their conversations are also recorded. Brown Eyed Girls are to start preparing for their third album after this single.
