Kim Se-jeong Gifts Fans with New Single 'Solar System' Today; Netizens Buzzing with Anticipation

Singer and actress Kim Se-jeong is set to release her first single album, ‘Solar System,’ today (17th) at 6 PM KST, offering warmth and comfort to fans both domestically and internationally.

‘Solar System’ is a reinterpretation of the same-titled song released by singer Sung Si-kyung in his 7th album ‘Cheot’ (First) back in 2011. Attention is focused on how Kim Se-jeong will delicately translate the lingering emotion and impact of the original song into her unique emotional spectrum.

The single narrates Kim Se-jeong's calm consolation to those who continue to orbit at their own pace, carrying the traces of love. Kim Se-jeong described the album as capturing the feeling of being a moon and star orbiting by the side of someone who is both sunshine and the world. This promises an expansive musical universe, distinct from the original, painted by Kim Se-jeong.

Notably, the single's production was helmed by Jukjae, an artist widely loved for his unique musical world, adding another layer of quality. Jukjae revealed that he brought Kim Se-jeong's ‘Solar System’ to life by interpreting the song's emotions akin to an actor's monologue, aiming for a feel as if one is breathing in sync with Kim Se-jeong's breath.

Kim Se-jeong, who expanded her scope as a solo artist in 2016, showcases not only subtle vocal changes but also visually expresses the song's emotions through her stable acting and gaze. The concept films and photos for ‘Solar System,’ released sequentially since the 12th, have foreshadowed a different vocal world for Kim Se-jeong, hinting at the song's atmosphere and narrative. The 'Atelier' version concept film garnered attention for its sophisticated elegance reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn in an exotic setting, while the 'Chamber' version presented a mysterious yet dreamy image. The music video teaser, even with just tear-filled, profound expressions, instantly conveyed the narrative of ‘Solar System,’ promising a deeply resonant song.

Kim Se-jeong is currently captivating viewers in the popular MBC drama ‘The Moon Rising Over the Day’ (literal title), playing dual roles as Boo Bo-sang Park Dal-yi and Crown Princess Kang Yeon-wol.

Kim Se-jeong’s first single album ‘Solar System’ will be available on various music streaming platforms starting today at 6 PM KST.

Fans are reacting enthusiastically to the release of Kim Se-jeong's new single 'Solar System,' with comments like 'Finally, Sejeong is back!', 'Looking forward to the new song! Always cheering for you,' and 'Emotional master Kim Se-jeong, trustworthy vocals!' are flooding in.
