Singer Kyuhyun will release his EP 'The Classic' at 6 p.m. on the 20th. This album contains five signature ballads by Kyuhyun, showcasing his "ballad strategy." The title track, "Like the First Snow," is a song about the bittersweet memories of a love that seeped in like the first snow, melted, and disappeared. The song is characterized by expressing the beginning and end of love through the flow of seasons, from the excitement of spring, the passion of summer, the familiarity of autumn, to the farewell of winter.

According to his agency, Kyuhyun's vocals gradually intensify over the lyrical melody within the panorama of emotions that continue like the cycle of seasons, delivering the essence of a poignant ballad. The music video released alongside the track sensually depicts a nostalgia made clearer because there is no way back. Kyuhyun aims to maximize immersion by capturing the universal sentiment of memories of first love, which everyone can relate to, with a restrained yet delicate sensitivity.

'The Classic' includes songs that depict various scenes of love such as "Nap," "Goodbye, My Friend," "Living in Memories," and "Compass." "Nap" contains the lonely aftertaste swallowed by the sudden thought of a longing face, while "Goodbye, My Friend" is a song bidding farewell to a quietly fading love alone. "Living in Memories" portrays the vivid traces left behind wherever love has passed with a detailed perspective. Lastly, "Compass" dramatically expresses the overwhelming feelings that ultimately reach each other.

Kyuhyun presents his new album 'The Classic' about a year after releasing his full-length album 'COLORS' last November. He plans to fully convey the inherent aesthetics of ballads by intricately expressing the emotional lines of each song. In addition to his sweet vocals and dense emotional expression, Kyuhyun elevates the dignity of ballads with refined sounds focusing on the natural tones of instruments such as piano, guitar, and strings.

Along with the EP release, Kyuhyun will hold a solo concert titled '2025 Kyuhyun Concert The Classic' for three days from December 19 to 21 at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul. This concert will be an opportunity for communication with fans and a chance to experience Kyuhyun's new musical world firsthand. Through this performance, Kyuhyun will present the songs from the EP 'The Classic' live and share special moments with the audience.

Kyuhyun's new EP and concert represent a new challenge based on his accumulated musical capabilities. He plans to move fans through deep musical expression while highlighting the characteristics of the ballad genre. Kyuhyun's music focuses not only on conveying emotions but also on leaving a deep impression on the audience's hearts.

Through this album, Kyuhyun is ready to reexamine the essence of ballads and offer new emotions to music fans. His musical journey continues, and much anticipation surrounds his future activities. Kyuhyun is establishing himself as an artist who communicates with people through music and shares their emotions.
