Shin Seung-hun Returns with 'She Was,' a Heartfelt Ballad Dedicated to Fans; Moon So-ri's MV Adds Emotional Depth

The emperor of ballads, Shin Seung-hun, has returned with his signature deep emotions. On the 10th at 6 PM, his pre-released track 'She Was' from his 12th full album 'SINCERELY MELODIES' was unveiled, meeting fans' high expectations.

'She Was' is a dedication from Shin Seung-hun to his fans whom he has accompanied for the past 35 years. It's a quintessential Shin Seung-hun ballad, filled with poignant yet tender feelings. The song's quality is further enhanced by composer Seo Jung-jin, who has a long history of collaboration with the artist, and lyricist Kim Ji-hyang, known for her work on Park Hyo-shin's 'Wild Flower'.

Lyrically, the song conveys a message of comfort to those who live lives of sacrifice in the name of love, evolving from a girl to a young woman, and then to a mother. Shin Seung-hun's direct involvement in songwriting and composing adds a layer of sincerity. Lines like, "Did that girl who shyly spoke of her dreams, did she achieve them?" evoke the image of a mother who has devoted half her life to her children, delivering a profound sense of comfort through his gentle voice.

The accompanying music video, featuring acclaimed actress Moon So-ri, amplifies the song's emotional impact. Without a single line of dialogue, Moon So-ri masterfully portrays the emotional journey from being a daughter to becoming a mother through her expressions alone. Her portrayal of recalling the affection and warmth of a mother, now gone, brings tears to viewers' eyes, highlighting the selfless love and dedication of mothers, a presence often taken for granted.

Shin Seung-hun is set to release his 12th full album, 'SINCERELY MELODIES,' on the 23rd at 6 PM, continuing his musical activities. The album, with a title meaning 'Melodies Crafted from the Heart,' is highly anticipated as it showcases Shin Seung-hun's comprehensive musical capabilities, having participated in producing and composing all tracks.

Shin Seung-hun debuted in 1990 with 'The Appearance of You in My Smile' and has since released numerous hit songs such as 'Invisible Love,' 'For a Long Time After,' and 'I Believe,' earning him the title 'Emperor of Ballads.' From the beginning of his career, he has demonstrated his talent as a singer-songwriter by participating in the writing, composing, and producing of his own music.

This 12th full album, 'SINCERELY MELODIES,' is his first full-length album in approximately nine years, and it is expected to present sincere music based on his deep connection with his fans.
