Kim Yo-han, who excels in singing, rapping, and acting, has released his mini-album [Illusion]! This solo album is his first in 1 year and 5 months since the release of the single [NO MORE] on August 25, 2020, and contains a total of 5 songs including the title track ‘DESSERT’. [Illusion], meaning fantasy or hallucination, combines the chicness of showing a sophisticated style of the fantasy everyone dreams of, and the dreamy appearance of the fantasy itself. The title track ‘DESSERT’ from the first solo mini-album [Illusion] is a funky disco genre song featuring a groovy baseline, and the catchy melody combined with a simple yet exciting beat makes the song feel even more sophisticated. It is a song that compares a dangerous love—where one cannot escape the sweet charm of the other despite knowing they are being deceived and manipulated—to a ‘dessert’. In particular, expectations are high as Kim Yo-han participated in the rap-making; in addition to the title track, he also participated in the rap-making for two songs, 'SELFISH' and 'Landing On You'. Attention is focused on Kim Yo-han, who will fully showcase his sweet voice and powerful rapping skills through this new release. 1. DESSERT Lyrics by STAINBOYS, NU'MAKER, Kim Yo-han Composed by Ryan Lawrie, Didrik Thott, Sebastian Thott Arranged by Sebastian Thott 'DESSERT' is a funky disco genre song featuring a groovy baseline, and the catchy melody combined with a simple yet exciting beat makes the song feel even more sophisticated. It is a song that compares a dangerous love—where one cannot escape the sweet charm of the other despite knowing they are being deceived and manipulated—to a ‘dessert’. 2. SELFISH Lyrics by Royal Dive, Kim Yo-han Composed by Royal Dive, Christoffer Semelius, Didrik Thott, Christian Fast Arranged by Royal Dive 'SELFISH', which leaves an impression with calm vocals as if talking to oneself, is a pop ballad song that blends lyrical piano, chorus, and dynamic synths. The lyrics convey the message that we sometimes need to be selfish for the sake of living a life true to ourselves, and the track is characterized by a simultaneous presence of a dreamy and intense feeling. 3. BAD Lyrics by Siyoung, iHwak Composed by STAINBOYS, Siyoung, iHwak Arranged by STAINBOYS A medium-tempo hip-hop genre song featuring a prominent bass riff, the energetic beat, intense yet delicate rap, and addictive chorus melody further heighten the atmosphere of the song. It expresses oneself becoming unable to control their feelings as the other person keeps coming into view and breaking down their patience, and contains the message of willingly going into the darkness so that the loved one can shine brighter. 4. Landing On You (저공비행) Lyrics by OUOW, Kim Yo-han Composed by OUOW, Woo-jae Arranged by OUOW, Woo-jae This song is written from the perspective of an airplane, expressing the desire to fly low and approach as the wish to get closer grows over time after making eye contact. Over a kitschy and upbeat beat, the fluttering excitement that deepens according to the flow of emotions is unfolded with cute points. 5. Be My Compass Like the Twinkling Stars (반짝이는 별들처럼 나침반이 되어줘요) Lyrics by MosPick Composed by MosPick Arranged by MosPick Everyone has words buried deep in their heart that they cannot easily bring out due to shyness or occasional embarrassment. Kim Yo-han's 'Be My Compass Like the Twinkling Stars' is a song containing a grateful greeting to his fans that he couldn't say before. Using poetic lyrics, it expresses gratitude for a presence that can be a support for one another, just as one finds direction by looking at the stars in the night sky. The calm guitar sound and the arrangement that becomes grander toward the end of the song add to the emotion.
