Over the previous few months, G-Dragon’s selection sequence Good Day has aired globally on Disney+ alongside its Korean terrestrial broadcast. I watched the primary episode, however as a lot as I take pleasure in G-Dragon as an artist I discover his present iteration fairly uncomfortable as a TV character. However even from one episode, I acquired the gist of the sequence. After hanging out with a cavalcade of Korean expertise, the present would culminate in a giant sing-along collaboration. That track arrives at this time within the type of Good Day 2025.
This recording options (maintain your breath) Bigbang’s G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung), 2NE1’s CL, Im Siwan, Kwanghee, Seventeen BSS, DAY6, aespa, Jung Hyung Don, Jung Hae In, Lee Soo Hyuk, Hwang Jung Min, Kim Go Eun, Kian84, Code Kunst, Defconn, Hong Jin Kyung and Ahn Sung Jae. If that line-up isn’t sufficient to get Good Day 2025 a direct all-kill on the charts, I don’t know what could be!
The track itself is a mash-up of two 80’s hits by synth-pop duo Metropolis Children (도시아이들), trussed up with fashionable manufacturing strategies and a smattering of hip-hop. There’s a lot potential in revitalizing 80’s classics on this method and shining a light-weight on a decade of music that isn’t as widely known because the post-Web optimization Taiji Okay-pop increase. Good Day 2025 feels extra like a enjoyable curio than an important hear, however each songs match properly collectively and make for an gratifying excuse for this large group of artists to come back collectively. And for a listener like me, it’s a welcome likelihood to listen to some 2nd-gen voices (Taeyang, CL) I’ve missed over the previous few years.
