The choice by Park Yuchun was right. Park Yuchun put out an album that’s full of winter sensibilities, with overripe emotions.
Park Yuchun, who is in the middle of his military service, surprised us and presented his first solo album, 12 years after debuting. Park Yuchun, who is active as both a member of group JYJ and an actor, left meaningful tracks that were gathered and saved from his love toward music. Not JYJ’s, not actor but solo singer Park Yuchun’s emotions were comparatively earnest. In his low-pitched, deep voice, he painted even loneliness. It is music that is matches the cold winter.
The solo album ‘How Much Love Do You Have in Your Wallet’ released by Park Yuchun, for the first time since his debut, is filled with emotional ambience and lyrics as though its title must have been suited for a collection of poems. All the while aware that he had to try to soothe the emptiness of fans after he enlisted, he had his strongly concealed reasons.
In JYJ, other than be pure like Kim Junsu who show offs a powerful singing ability with a unique voice and Kim Jaejoong who boasts a rock disposition with rugged and high-pitched tones; Park Yuchun has the role of the bass where he is more solid producing the chord to support them. However, Park Yuchun supplements heaviness in a singing style that whispers yet purrs, when he stands in front of a microphone by himself.
Park Yuchun heightened the perfection of his album, working together with emotional artists pianist Yuhki Kuramoto and Yozoh. Yuhki Kuramoto composed the song ‘Nostalgic, While Turning Over the Page..’ solely for Park Yuchun and up to his performance, flaunts its significance playing it. In Park Yuchun’s own song ‘Until the Last Album..’, he harmonizes with Yozoh and confirmed his affection. As if it can be felt in the title, he had his will and gratitude toward fans now and forever contained together in the lyrics. Also, he included the live version of ‘Walking With Her in Spring’ as a bonus track and rekindled the emotions of a concert.
Park Yuchun added two of his own songs in the solo album, too, and exhibited his talent as a singer-songwriter again. He puts out his own songs that were developed little by little when it was presented in popular songs on his individual stage; and is the outcome that was created from his own stage. How did he achieve a thing like that? Park Yuchun went the path that was the clearest rather than make changes. He is not fancy and does it without technique.
In this album, Park Yuchun is collected but spills out letter after letter, with a voice chock-full of tenderness. In a manner, it is formed from Park Yuchun’s steadfast emotions. It is sentimental like Park Yuchun himself. With recognizable innate timbre that doesn’t need to be arduously searched for. Although it is a big yielding by himself, you can feel a warm winter while discerning melancholy in his five songs. It is noteworthy that he is able to confirm another potential of his, as an unconventional vocal. Buried under the name JYJ, Park Yuchun’s intrinsic value has been newly discovered.
