Hye Eun Yi finds freedom in flaws on 'Unfinished Virus'
Hye Eun Yi opens up on first full-length album 'Unfinished Virus' before the Bupyeong Art Center performance 'Safely Today.'
Kim Seung-ju released his first full-length album, 'Unfinished Virus,' and shared his thoughts on his music and mindset ahead of the Bupyeong Art Center planned performance, 'Safely Today.' Rather than hiding the state of not reaching perfection, he revealed an attitude of accepting himself as a work in progress.
Kim Seung-ju stated, "I'll be unfinished anyway, so what's the problem?" After passing through times of being strict with himself, his words—aiming to place even his shortcomings within his music—reach those suppressed by perfectionism with a sense of quiet liberation.
Release of First Full Album 'Unfinished Virus'
The album title 'Unfinished Virus' contains the way Kim Seung-ju views the world. It signifies his intention to make the continuous process of changing and being filled, rather than chasing only completed results, his musical identity.
He accepts the imperfect state not as a deficiency, but as vitality. The imperfections encountered during the process of making music are not obstacles to overcome, but are closer to the force that carries him to the next song and the next stage.
Ahead of Bupyeong Art Center 'Safely Today' Stage
Kim Seung-ju's new beginning is also connected to the space of Bupyeong. Bupyeong has been introduced as a region where musicians of post-war Korean popular music were active and left a musical foundation, as it was once the site of the US military ASCOM base.
In this place, where various cultural projects have continued centered around the Bupyeong Art Center under the slogan 'Music City' since 2006, Kim Seung-ju takes the stage as the voice of a new generation.
Participation in Bupyeong Cultural Foundation and Generate Project
This project, held jointly by the Bupyeong Cultural Foundation and Generate, is an occasion to encounter the local musical heritage again with a modern sensibility. On the 'Safely Today' stage, Kim Seung-ju adds his unfinished story onto the musical history of Bupyeong.
His heart is set on music that does not stop the moment it is completed, but music that moves again within the hearts of listeners. Having released his first full album, Kim Seung-ju offers comfort at one's own pace to those passing through an anxious today.
