KCM Releases New Single 'Fading Away' After Welcoming Son

KCM, who announced the birth of his son last December, is set to release his first single of 2026, 'Fading Away'.

'Fading Away' is a ballad that contemplatively explores themes of separation and loss. The song's lyrics capture memories that slip away despite efforts to hold onto them, and the heart that is no longer pained or vivid. It poetically conveys the idea that forgetting is a necessary process for moving forward in life.

KCM delivers the song with a restrained vocal approach, starting in a low tone and narrating the story in a calm manner. His use of breath and pronunciation emphasizes the emotional gaps in the lyrics, while the building chorus towards the end leaves a lingering emotional impact.

Meanwhile, KCM has been actively releasing new music, including tracks like 'To Me', 'By Chance', 'You're the Prettiest to Me', and 'Old School Uniform' in 2025, balancing his music career with TV appearances and activities in Japan. This year, he continues to appear on shows like KBS's 'The Return of Superman' and is committed to his role as a father to his third son, born late last year, while maintaining his dedication to his music career.
