Description (Translated):

I always imagined what kind of person I would be at the age of 25. My love and my parting will grow little by little. I look back and record the time I wandered to an unknown address until I fully accepted myself as I was rushing toward the midpoint of my twenties. my unfinished journey. 'ONGOING'

Gyeongseo's first mini-album 'ONGOING'

This album is Kyungseo's first mini-album to be released after her debut, and will reveal five songs containing the emotions of love and separation.

First of all, the title song 'My heart beats 120 BPM at the first kiss' is a song that compares the feeling of falling in love in the process of becoming a lover from a friend to the number of heartbeats. Gyeongseo tried to deliver a song full of excitement with a sweet voice and sweet sensibility.

In addition to this, ‘Spring Again’ reminds us of the coming season with stories we had together in the past, and ‘It’s Spring’, a pre-released song from this album that contains a lot of warm yet cool sounds between spring and summer, towards the one we love. Five songs of various genres confirm the wide spectrum of Gyeongseo, from 'I'm Curious', which expresses growing curiosity, to 'Would We Be Different If I Understand You', a city pop genre that announces the beginning of summer.

This album 'ONGOING' is an album that records the story of love, the pain of parting, and the excitement of being in your twenties at the point of growing little by little. It is expected that Gyeongseo, who has reached a new turning point in her music journey, will be able to discover other possibilities as well as her strengthened capabilities.

01 Again, Spring

It is spring that comes every year. I put the story I had with you in the past. Let's start loving again before this season that always makes someone's heart flutter ends. The warm voice of Gyeongseo conveys this message plainly.

In particular, in this song, in addition to the unique and attractive tone that only Gyeongseo has, it is a song that is the starting point to announce the possibility as an artist.

05 If I understood you, would we be different?

I had a pretty love, passed the shining time, and became alone.

On the comfortable easy listening track that can be widely loved as a city pop genre that announces the beginning of summer, Gyeongseo shows a more mature image with her unique charming voice. Delivering a nostalgic nostalgia to the generation that enjoyed city pop sensibility and a newtro freshness to the younger generation, this song “Would we have been different if we understood you” will be a song that broadens the musical spectrum even further by showing Gyeongseo’s unique sensibility.

Description (Original):

'스물다섯 살의 내가 어떤 사람일까'를 늘 상상해오곤 했다. 나의 사랑도 나의 이별도 조금씩 성장해 가겠지. 이십 대의 중간점을 향해 달려가는 나를 온전히 받아들이기까지, 정해져 있지 않은 주소를 방황했던 지금까지를 돌이켜보며 기록해 본다. 나의 끝나지 않은 여정. 'ONGOING'

경서의 첫 미니앨범 'ONGOING'

이번 앨범은 경서가 데뷔 후 처음 발매하는 미니앨범으로 사랑과 이별의 감성을 담은 5곡을 공개한다.

먼저 타이틀곡 '첫 키스에 내 심장은 120BPM'은 친구에서 연인이 되는 과정 속 사랑에 빠진 감정을 심장 박동 수에 비유한 곡이다. 경서는 감미로운 목소리와 달콤한 감성으로 설렘 가득한 노랫말을 전하고자 했다.

이 외에도 지난날 함께 했던 이야기를 담으며 돌아오는 계절을 기억하게 하는 '다시 또, 봄'과 이번 앨범의 선공개 곡이자 봄과 여름 사이 포근하면서도 시원한 사운드를 풍성하게 담아낸 '봄이야', 사랑하는 이를 향해 자라나는 궁금증을 표현한 '궁금해', 여름의 시작을 알리는 시티 팝 장르의 '널 이해했다면 우린 달라졌을까'까지 다채로운 장르의 5곡이 경서의 폭넓은 스펙트럼을 확인시킨다.

이번 앨범 'ONGOING'은 이십 대가 겪는 사랑과 이별의 아픔 그리고 설렘의 감정을 조금씩 성장해가는 시점에서의 이야기를 기록한 앨범이다. 음악 여정에서 새로운 전환점을 맞이한 경서의 단단해진 역량과 또 다른 가능성까지 발견할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

01 다시 또, 봄

매년 찾아오는 봄이야. 지난 너와 함께했던 이야기를 담았어. 늘 누군가를 설레게 하는 이 계절이 끝나기 전에, 다시 사랑을 시작하자. 이 메시지를 경서의 따뜻한 목소리가 담백하게 전달해 준다.

02 첫 키스에 내 심장은 120BPM (Title)

내게 위로가 되었고 사랑이 되어준 너에게 하고 싶은 이야기

친구에서 연인이 되는 과정 속 사랑에 빠진 감정을 심장 박동 수에 비유한 위트 있는 가사와 감성적인 밴드 사운드로 풀어낸 곡이다. 특히 이번 곡에서는 경서만이 가지고 있는 특유의 매력적인 음색 이외에 아티스트로서도 가능성을 알리는 시작점이 되는 곡이다.

03 봄이야

계절의 경계선에서 너를 만났어. 똑똑똑, 봄이 왔어

봄과 여름 사이 포근하면서도 따뜻한 느낌을 시원한 기분의 기타 사운드와 다채로운 신디사이저 사운드로 풍성히 담아낸 경서의 '봄이야'. 누구에게나 있을 법한 새로운 시작에 대한 이야기를 새로운 사랑의 시작으로 빗대어 표현했다.

04 궁금해

어느 순간부터 네가 기다려져. 많이 좋아하나 봐

사랑에 푹 빠져 상대방이 날 어떻게 생각하는지 궁금해하는 설레는 마음을 표현한 곡으로 청량한 느낌이 가득 담긴 트로피컬 하우스와 대중적인 팝을 접목시킨 트로피컬 댄스팝 장르의 곡이다.

05 널 이해했다면 우린 달라졌을까

예쁜 사랑을 했고, 빛나던 시간을 지나, 혼자가 되어버렸어.

여름의 시작을 알리는 시티팝 장르로 폭넓게 사랑받을 수 있는 편안한 이지 리스닝 트랙 위에 경서만의 매력적인 목소리로 한 차원 더 성숙한 모습을 보여준다. 시티팝 감성을 즐기던 세대에게는 아련한 향수로 젊은 세대에게는 뉴트로한 신선함으로 전달하는 이번 “널 이해했다면 우린 달라졌을까”는 경서만의 감성을 선보이며 음악적스펙트럼이 한층 넓어지는 곡이 될 것이다.
