Singer Kim Gun-mo is set to resume his official activities with the release of his first new song in 10 years.
Kim Gun-mo will release his new single, "Where Are You Heading," through various online music platforms today at 6:00 PM. This marks his first official new release since his 25th-anniversary album, "50," in 2016.
"Where Are You Heading" is a remake of the title track from singer Jeon Young's first album, released in 1977. While maintaining the lyrical melody of the original, the song features a minimalist arrangement with reduced instrumentation, highlighting Kim Gun-mo's signature clean and profound vocals.
The most notable change in this new track is that Kim Gun-mo plays the acoustic guitar himself for the first time. Known and loved for his image as a pianist, he has chosen the guitar over the piano for this project, attempting a new musical transformation.
According to his agency, this song is one that Kim Gun-mo has practiced and sung the most while playing the guitar over a long period. It carries an autobiographical meaning, naturally incorporating the time he spent comforting and encouraging himself.
The original creators of the song, composer Lee Hyun-seop and lyricist Lee Kyung-mi, reportedly expressed their delight, stating, "It feels like receiving an unexpected gift."
Kim Gun-mo shared his thoughts, saying, "As this is the first song where I sing while playing the guitar, I hope it becomes an opportunity to show a new side of Kim Gun-mo to many people." He added, "I am grateful to those who have waited for a long time."
Previously, Kim Gun-mo proved his enduring ticket power by selling out every show during his "2025-2026 Kim Gun-mo Live Tour," which took place over the last six months.
Kim Gun-mo's new single, "Where Are You Heading," will be available on various online music platforms starting at 6:00 PM today.
