[+1182, -30] Ability acknowledged by Jongshin hyung!!

[+982, -25] Looking forward to Kyuhyun solo ㅋㅋ

[+853, -24] Really, I like his tone very much

[+645, -31] Oh Kyuhyun solo? Ballad or dance, I'm so curious ㅋㅋ

[+556, -31] Do well

[+158, -30] Why solo now, his schedule is so busy. Hope he shows his precious tone and singing ability in a ballad. 7 Years of Love, Late Autumn, Love Dust, Etude Of Memory.. I still like those songs very much now ㅜ

[+141, -3] His voice really is art

[+126, -3] Kyuhyun first solo! Anticipating!

[+121, -3] All along, even though Kyuhyun is main vocal but because there's so many members he can't sing much. I heard he's main vocal so I went to check his songs, his voice is good~ I'm not his fan, but people should listen to him

[+120, -4] Cho Kyuhyun solo♥♥ Hwaiting!!

[+90, -3] Kyuhyun's tone is good, and he has good singing ability. I'm looking forward. Ballad accompanying autumn...

[+73, -3] I didn't know his good tone till I listened to the Late Autumn ballad Yoon Jongshin gave to him. When the song is out, I will give it a listen!

[+69, -2] I've been looking out for Kyuhyun-ssi's ballad album for so many years, it's finally here~ I really like his tone, congratulations!^^

.Kyuhyun's first solo album, Yiruma · Jung Yup · Max Changmin and more

..

.

The article talks about the announcement of his solo and creation of his SMTown homepage, the tracklist, and how he's been tweeting little snippets of the songs as audio teasers from his own personal account.

The tracklist:

1. At Gwanghwamun (lyrics/composition/arrangement by Kenzie)


2. Eternal Sunshine (composition/arrangement by Yiruma and 2FACE, lyrics by Yang Jaesun)


3. At close (lyrics/composition/arrangment by Honeydew'O, a producer duo that includes Jung Yup of Brown Eyed Soul)


4. Moment of farewell (composition/arrangement by Kim Taesung and Kim Yongshin, lyrics by Swan)


5. One confession (composition/arrangement by Yoon Youngjoon, lyrics by Yang Jaesun)


6. Flying, deep in the night (composition/lyrics by Lee Younghoon, arrangement by Kenzie)


7. My thoughts, Your memories (composition by Cho Kyuhyun, lyrics by Shim Changmin, arrangement by Hwang Sungjae)

.
[+631/-30] SM's love of English subtitles ㅋㅋㅋㅋ thought it was in the past ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (T/N: possibly talking about the titles or format of the tracklist?) His tone is nice and he sings well, I hope this mini-album flourishes and that his first solo does well

.

[+529/-22] Wow, [he/his voice] looks like the best combination with ballads, I'm anticipating it. His voice is relaxing/comfortable to listen to so I'm anticipating it.

.

[+471/-25] Looks like he worked really hard on it, I hope it does well

.

[+453/-20] It's been a really long time since there was a good ballad to listen to

.

[+440/-20] Yiruma??? Wow..I wasn't a Kyuhyun fan at first but the song looks like it's my style from the title on. I'll listen to it well~ heh heh

.

[+129/2] Teasers?? Teasers are already out?? Huh...I should go listen to them. I'm a huge fan of Yiruma +_+. Yiruma wouldn't have just chosen anyone [to work with/write for]. Kyuhyun must just be that skilled to be getting this kind of suppotr... Unexpected combinations~ I'm really anticipating~~

.

[+128/-3] That lineup of composers shiver shiver [T/N: impressed] I'm anticipating Kyuhyun's solo album!

.

[+126/-3] The solo for Kyuhyun who's waited nine years ㅠ Super Junior is stuck with a variety image and he couldn't show his side through songs so people must not know how many good songs there are ㅠㅠ in particular, it's really a shame that main vocal Kyuhyun's tone and singing power were buried this long, I hope his solo promotions do really well! I hope that he/they can appeal to the masses with these songs!

.

[+126-3] I'm anticipating Kyuhyun's voice that's been praised by a ton of people like Yoon Jongshin and Yoo Youngsuk and so on ^^

.

[+119/-3] I'm curious about Kyuhyun's self-composed track. Yoon Jongshin said that Kyuhyun has a deep manly voice...that he's a really great vocalist when he sings low especially.

.

[+104/-3] Whoa...looks like you can definitely trust and listen to this...I hope there's a song like 7 Years of Love on it.

.

[+102/-2] It seems like there'll be songs that really match well with Kyuhyun's voice ~ I can't wait for it to come out.

.

[+105/-5] But it looks like there's more effort/care in this than Zhou Mi's album even from the composers, seeing as they have SM's representative Kenzie from the start and then a song from Yiruma and a song from Jung Yup and lyrics from Max Changmin... as for Kenzie's ballads what can't she do, it'll probably do good. I'm anticipating the Yiruma track.

.

[+98/-5] Lately I've had Late Autumn on endless repeat~ it's a shame there's no track from [Yoon] Jongshin...but either way I'm waiting for the good songs~ I hope it does well~!

.

[+91/-3] Finally we can hear songs from the next generation of ballads~ I'm totally excited

WHAT. YIRUMA PARTICIPATED IN THIS ALBUM. GIMME NAO. KYU, I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID ABOUT AN UPBEAT/POP BALLAD. I'M FINE WITH BALLADS. GIVE ME YOUR LOVELY VOCALS.

That said, I haven't been this excited about a KPOP album/mini-album in who knows how long. *O*

[kurdoodle.livejournal.com]

YAAS i'm so excited! kyu's voice is like dark chocolate ♥

[yukahoo.livejournal.com]

What excellent formatting!^^

No but seriously, thank you for compiling these. SM's pr game has been spot on. Now it's just a question of whether it's enough to rise above the apathy that SJ's music seems to evoke in SK as of late.

Commercial success isn't everthing and personally I'm just happy to get an album of his singing. But the outcome will probably affect his chances to do even more in the future.

Well, maybe. I don't really know how SM decides these things.

Literally me ㅠㅠ


Also side-eyeing that "1st SJ member to get a solo" comment, Henry and Mi are members too...

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

late autumn has been in my top 25 most played since it came out like a year, two years ago? it's so good.

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

Eh, it didn't sound like a malicious comment that's purposefully trying to exclude HenMi. It's just that in Korea, SJ and SJ-M are different entities (obviously, since SJ has promoted there for 9 years and are well-known).

[lesherlock.livejournal.com]

Please tell me about this song because I feel like I missed it! :O

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

Late Autumn? It's a track he did for Yoon Jongshin's monthly melody a few years back! It's lovely.

"... it's a shame there's no track from [Yoon] Jongshin...but either way I'm waiting for the good songs~ I hope it does well~!" Me and you both, netizen!
Man, I can't wait. I hope all this ~next ballad prince~ media play is gonna lead to some future interactions (duets??? a girl can dream) between him and Sung Si-kyung.

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

i'm trash, i ordered it even tho i'm saving up for like everything but i've been waiting so long for this.

[eesor.livejournal.com]

so um what ever happened to zhoumi's solo? how has the album been doing?

[lesherlock.livejournal.com]

It's a good mini album. Also Amber has been doing a lot of the music shows with him and (for me) she out sexies him because while he is sexy he's more on the cute side.

[eesor.livejournal.com]

aww bb sorry to hear that </3 he doesn't promote in china?

[justawhim07.livejournal.com]

thanks OP for translating! <3

Nerd!Kyu is sexiest Kyu.

Here's an unpopular opinion... Kyu's voice is a treasure, but I think JJong might actually be my ballad king.

[+434/-43] Oh~~~ first SJ member to get a solo, I hope it's good!

Screw you, you nasty hateful little child.

[lesherlock.livejournal.com]

I am so excited for this. Once I get a hold of said album I'm going to play it until I drop.
