Crispy's Kim Seung-yoon Debuts Solo as 'Yuu' with New Single 'Love Me (Like I Love You)'

Kim Seung-yoon, the vocalist of the band Crispy (creespy), has officially launched his solo project under the new name 'Yuu'.

Releasing his debut single 'Love Me (Like I Love You)' today (8th) at 6 PM, Yuu is set to showcase a new musical dimension.

While beloved for his unique vocal tone and emotional delivery with Crispy, Yuu's solo work focuses on Pop and R&B, offering a more sensual and honest sound, defining a distinct identity.

The single 'Love Me (Like I Love You)' highlights Yuu's versatility as he took part in writing, composing, arranging, and even performing on the track. The song features a sophisticated rhythm and captivating vocals, blending seamlessly with the smooth groove characteristic of R&B.

The lyrics delve into the ironic contradiction of questioning sincerity when 'I love you' is said too easily. The repetitive chorus, while sounding like a simple confession, carries an underlying emptiness, conveying Yuu's profound emotional depth.

"I wanted to capture my own emotional lines and rhythm, different from Crispy's music," Yuu shared about his solo endeavor. "It's a song that expresses the genuine yet 불안전 (unstable) feelings of love as they are."

Since debuting with Crispy in 2021, Yuu has garnered attention for his cinematic songwriting and aesthetic visuals. Crispy was recently selected as part of the '2025 Penta Super Rookies' TOP6 for the '2025 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival', proving their musical prowess. Now, four years into his career, Yuu expands his artistic horizons with his first solo project.

Korean netizens are reacting enthusiastically, with comments like, "You can really feel Yuu (Kim Seung-yoon)'s unique sensibility," "A different charm from Crispy! It's already charting material," and "His solo song is so good, I'm completely captivated by Kim Seung-yoon's voice." There is particular praise for his expanded musical spectrum and sincere lyrics.
