On the set of Wanted's 'Going to you' music video

On the 3rd at the set in Kyeongkido Paju, filming for the group Wanted's new music video 'Going to You' was revealed.

This music video marks the group's first release in 5 years since their 2007 '7DAYZ & WANTED' album collaboration with Lee Jung, and their first group album release in 8 years since their second album in 2004. Thus the set was especially meaningful both for Wanted and its fans who have waited all these years.

Members Kim Jaesuk and Ha Dongkyun maintained a steady focus throughout the entire shoot despite the below-zero degree weather. Of course they also stayed late to monitor all the scenes, building a warm and friendly atmosphere with encouragements for the staff and other actors.

Their new song 'Going to you' is a step brighter than their usual sounds and hints at a change in the rest of the album's songs. At the same time, Wanted's characteristic sorrow-filled sensibilities remain untouched, raising one's expectations for this long-awaited album.

The 'Going to you' music video portrays how a man suffering from loss happens to find a new love. The featured new actor Lee Junghyuk is particularly attracting attention for his delicate portrayal of the character's inner workings through his expressive eyes. The separation with his beloved is candid yet passionate, and his acting is impressive for a rookie. On top of that the camera and lighting team from the movie 'War of the Arrows' worked together to even further raise the production standards for this music video.

Director Kim Doyeon stated, "The crew, actors, and artists are all doing their best. Thanks to them I think the song and video's combined synergy will produce something great."

Wanted's 3rd full album 'VINTAGE' receives enthusiastic response... the power of 'luxury vocals' proven once again

On the 20th, Wanted's 3rd full-length album 'Vintage' was released on Melon, Olleh music, Soribada, MNET, Bugs, Cyworld, and various other online music portals.

Due to military duties and various solo activities it has been 5 years since Wanted released something together as a group. The new album 'Vintage' has a total of 13 tracks, all songs produced and most written, by the members themselves, thus reflecting the kind of music they've wanted to do.

The album's title track 'Going to you' is a love song between two people who are about to start a new love while trying to forget their painful pasts, featuring the excellent harmonizing skills of Kim Jaesuk and Ha Dongkyun. Described as a song with post-modern British pop sound, the song's lyrics written by producer Choi Kabwon portray the dynamics of anticipation mixed with doubt and fear in starting a new relationship. After the album's release various tracks started taking the music charts by storm, showing the appeal of the group's skills, dubbed 'luxury vocals.'

This album also features tracks showcasing members individually. 'I am the moon' is a solo track by member Jun Sunghwan accompanied by a calm, light piano melody. Kim Jaesuk's solo track 'That person' encompasses the sadness of not being seen by the one he loves. Also included is Ha Dongkyun's 'Sounds of tears' and a track featuring IU called 'Like you.'

Loen Entertainment representative stated, "We are very proud of the level of completion of every single track without exception in Wanted's new album. We ask for a lot of support and love for them; they've waited a long time to meet with fans again."

in addendum:

in addition to the track featuring IU (like you), her voice is also in 눈뜨고볼수없는 (Can't Bear the Sight of it) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW-5UOLhooQ), recorded before her debut when she was still in middle school. you can only hear her towards the end in the repeated 'lalala's but it's her lol
