HomeLim Young Woong(임영웅)

A medium-tempo track released in May 2024 by singer Lim Young-woong, who enjoys immense popularity in Korea.

It’s one of the two songs on the double single with “Warm,” and Young-woong himself took part in writing the lyrics.

The song delivers a moving portrayal of friendship and support amid loneliness.

The lyrics—promising to be an umbrella on rainy days and a guardian on sunny days—convey a deep bond.

Its gentle, comforting arrangement will surely encourage listeners when their hearts feel weary.

The message asking you to look up at the lonely night sky and remember him carries a warm, heartfelt touch.

My FriendsNeonPunch

An EDM-flavored uptempo track that thrills from the intro, “My Friends” is a song by the girl group NeonPunch, which unfortunately disbanded in 2020 due to various factors including the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was included on their 2019 mini-album WATCH OUT.

The lyrics convey a sense of bond, with lines like “Joy is doubled, sorrow is halved.” It’s reassuring and heartwarming when a beloved friend tells you, “We’re together no matter what.” The lively sound gives you energy too, so be sure to sing it at karaoke and have fun when you’re out with friends!
