K-Pop Star Song Ga-in Dreams of YouTube Silver Button with New Album Release

Song Ga-in, the renowned K-pop singer, expressed her regret for not starting her YouTube channel sooner, as she dreams of earning the coveted Silver Button.

On the afternoon of the 11th, a showcase was held at Sky Art Hall in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of Song Ga-in's fourth studio album, 'Gain;Dal'.

During the event, Song Ga-in hinted at her future YouTube endeavors, stating, "I want to see high view counts and make it to the trending videos. I also want to receive the Silver Button. It's a regret that I didn't start YouTube earlier," she joked.

Song Ga-in also shared insights about the track 'Tears Fall', produced by veteran singer Sim Soo-bong. "Originally, it was intended for her grandson, Son Tae-jin, but he didn't receive it. No one else dared to ask for it, but I mustered the courage to do so, and that's how I got the song," she smiled.

The new album 'Gain;Dal' marks Song Ga-in's first release in nearly two years and ten months, showcasing her musical transformation. It features a diverse range of genres, including traditional trot, medium tempo, ballads, and modern pop.

The title track 'Asadal' is a traditional trot song inspired by the tragic legend of Asadal, the stonemason who built the Seokgatap Pagoda at Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju. Another title track, 'Tears Fall', released on the 22nd of last month, gained attention as it was produced by Sim Soo-bong. The song captures the poignant emotions of a breakup with lyrical and heartfelt expression.

'Gain;Dal' was released at 6 PM on the same day.
