Hello and welcome to this weeks Modern Seoul KPOP Song of the Week, our fourth for April 2016.
There have been a few interesting new KPOP releases over the past week or so, however we’ve chosen the solo debut release by Super Junior’s Yesung. The song is titled “Here I Am” and it was released on YouTube Monday April 18th, and in that time it’s been viewed over 1million times on the SMTOWN YouTube Channel. Here are our reasons for choosing “Here I Am” for our KPOP song of the week:

  • Firstly the song is powerful and always Yesung to show off his vocal range.
  • Secondly the video follows a short drama style theme and matches the lyrics and mood of the song perfectly.
  • Finally Yesung has been part of Super Junior for over 10 years and this solo debut has been long awaited. At 31 (which he doesn’t look) he’s also got years to come.
  • On the negative side; it’s more of a drama OST than a musicbank winner.Yesung Here I am banner
