Similar to the vast seaAn artist who sings ‘my’ own story
Hyunsik Lim’s 2nd mini album [The Young Man and the Deep Sea]
BTOB’s Lim Hyunsik releases his second solo mini album [The Young Man and the Deep Sea].
As he returns to fans with his 2nd mini album [The Young Man and the Deep Sea] after 5 years, following his 1st mini album [RENDEZ-VOUS], expectations are high on what kind of story he will tell.
While the last album honestly sang his own stories such as encounters and connections in comparison to the universe, relationships between people, and love, this album uses the theme of 'sea' to express the 'sea' seen through his eyes and a deeper world of music. did.
Since his first solo song 'SWIMMING' was released, this album started with his ambition to make an album with the sea as a theme someday, so this album was also led by him himself. Lim Hyun-sik, who filled all the songs with his own compositions and participated in not only the album concept and design but also the music video planning, worked in the hope that the meaning of 'the sea' as he saw it would truly reach the public. As can be seen in the sentence, 'As I grew older and lived, I felt that my life and myself were the sea,' in the commentary he left, 'Lim Hyun-sik's sea' is a 'sea' with a certain color, sound, atmosphere, and temperature. If you listen to music while imagining it, you will be able to feel a deeper emotion.
The story about 'the sea' that Lim Hyun-sik develops is not limited to any genre and unfolds in a variety of ways with alternative sounds. Lim Hyun-sik has always enjoyed reading <The Old Man and the Sea>, and the name of his 2nd mini album was created in homage to this. Lim Hyun-sik's desire to show the sea (me) of a grown young man who is no longer a boy in his 30s is similar to the firm and wise attitude of the old man toward life in the novel <The Old Man and the Sea>. It would be a good idea to listen to the album and follow Lim Hyun-sik's journey together, to see what the 'sea' really means to him, what path he went through, and whether he is sailing safely now.
The music video for the title song 'Lonely Sea (La Mar)' is full of Lim Hyun-sik's passion as he personally participated in planning it. All of the sea scenes in the music video were filmed by Lim Hyun-sik, who actually went underwater. To this end, he took the time to practice diving during the album preparation process and produced beautiful results. The image of the sea that Lim Hyun-sik personally felt is clearly captured in the video.
Lim Hyun-sik's 2nd mini album [The Young Man and the Deep Sea] contains 'light and dark' as an important message, from track 1 'The Tides of Life' to track 3 'Deep Blue Sea'. It is expressed as 'dark' among light and dark, and from the 4th track 'Sunshine' to the last track 6 'Swimming (Reimagined Ver.)', it is expressed as 'light and dark' among light and dark. So, when returning from track 6 to track 1, organicity begins again, expressing meeting and parting, and the repetition of light and dark in life. Let’s enjoy the ‘sea’ in his music according to his unfolding flow.

드넓은 바다와 닮은'나'만의 이야기를 노래하는 아티스트
임현식 미니 2집 [The Young Man and the Deep Sea]
비투비 임현식이 두 번째 솔로 미니앨범 [The Young Man and the Deep Sea]를 발표한다.
지난 미니 1집 [RENDEZ-VOUS]에 이어, 5년여 만에 미니 2집 [The Young Man and the Deep Sea]로 팬들 곁에 돌아온 만큼, 그가 어떤 이야기를 들려줄지 기대감을 모은다.
지난 앨범이 우주에 빗대어 만남과 연결, 사람과 사람의 관계, 사랑 등 그만의 이야기를 진솔하게 노래했다면, 이번 앨범은 '바다'를 테마로 그의 시선으로 바라본 '바다'와 한층 깊어진 음악 세계를 표현했다.
그의 첫 번째 솔로곡 'SWIMMING'이 나왔을 때부터 언젠가는 꼭 바다를 주제로 앨범을 만들고 싶었다는 그의 포부로 시작된 앨범인 만큼, 이번 앨범 역시 그가 직접 이끌었다. 전곡을 자작곡으로 채우고, 앨범 콘셉트와 디자인뿐만 아니라 뮤직비디오 기획에도 참여한 임현식은 그가 바라본 '바다'의 의미가 대중들에게 진심으로 닿기를 바라며 작업했다. 그가 직접 남긴 코멘터리 중, '나이가 들고 살아가다 보니 내 인생도 나 자신도 바다임을 느꼈다.'라는 문장에서 엿볼 수 있듯, '임현식의 바다'는 어떤 색감, 소리, 분위기와 온도를 가진 '바다'인지 상상해 보며 음악을 감상한다면 더욱 깊은 감동을 느낄 수 있을 것이다.
임현식이 전개하는 '바다'에 관한 이야기는 얼터너티브한 사운드로 어느 장르에 국한되지 않고 다채롭게 넘나들며 펼쳐진다. 임현식은 평소 <노인과 바다>를 즐겨 읽곤 했는데, 이번 미니 2집 앨범명이 이를 오마주 하여 탄생하게 되었다. 30대가 되어 더 이상 소년이 아닌 성장한 청년의 바다(나)를 보여주고 싶었다는 임현식의 마음이 소설 <노인과 바다>의 노인이 삶을 대하는 굳은 태도와 지혜로운 자세와 닮아있다. 임현식에게 '바다'는 과연 어떤 의미이며, 그가 겪어온 과정은 어떤 길이었는지, 지금은 무탈한 항해를 하고 있는지 앨범을 들으며 함께 임현식의 여정을 따라가는 것도 좋을 것이다.
타이틀곡 '고독한 바다 (La Mar)' 뮤직비디오는 그가 직접 기획에도 참여한 만큼 임현식의 열정이 녹아 있다. 뮤직비디오 속에 나오는 바다 장면들은 전부 임현식이 실제 바닷속에 들어가서 촬영을 진행하였으며, 이를 위해 앨범 준비 과정 속에서 틈틈이 시간을 내어 다이빙 훈련에 임했고 아름다운 결과물을 만들어냈다. 임현식이 몸소 느낀 바다의 모습은 영상 속 고스란히 담겨있다.
임현식의 미니 2집 [The Young Man and the Deep Sea]는 '명암 明暗'을 중요한 메시지로 담고 있는데, 1번 트랙 '밀물과 썰물 (The Tides of Life)'부터 3번 트랙 'Deep Blue Sea'까지가 명암 중 '암 暗'이며, 4번 트랙 'Sunshine'부터 마지막 6번 트랙 'Swimming (Reimagined Ver.)'까지가 명암 중 '명 明'으로 표현했다. 그래서 6번 트랙부터 다시 1번 트랙으로 돌아갔을 때 다시 유기성이 시작되며, 만남과 이별, 그리고 인생 속 명과 암의 반복을 표현한다. 그가 전개하는 흐름에 맞춰 그의 음악 속 '바다'를 즐겨보자.
