6th Newsletter
A Korean food, Bibimbap and My next new album
My 6th Newsletter
(My 6th newsletter to you ๐ )
This is your A.thentic Jong Hee ๐ท๐
How are you today?
Itโs already been over 10 days since I sent you the last newsletter.
As you already know, Iโve been too busy finishing the new album.
How was your weekend? I hope you enjoyed it.๐๐

What is this?
(Donโt worry. I will tell you later here) ๐
As I mentioned on Instagram, I finally finished my next album, so I went out to release my tense stress this weekend.
Yes, I was sick from too much work and seasonal weakness, especially after I recorded the piano performance video for โI Met You Beautifullyโ for YouTube. I was knocked out. You know why?
I played and recorded the performance from different angles, but after I thought it was over, when I checked the camera, it was NOT recorded at all!๐ฒ
The fact was: when I played the piano, I thought I clicked the โrecordโ button, BUT the camera wasnโt recording.๐ง
And after I finished playing the piano, I hit the โstopโ button on the camera, but it WAS recording from the time, because I hit the โrecordโ button then. I felt so foolish.๐
So I recorded from the beginning again, from 1:00 am till 3:30 am. Godโฆ๐ค๐ค
So, please take a look again at my piano performance on my YouTube if you feel pity. ๐๐

Okay, now as I mentioned on my Story, I will share a Korean food, โBibimbapโ. (Actually, I have so many food pictures to show you, but for today, I chose this one).
I had this for Sunday brunch today at the traditional market in my town. ๐๐ฒ

The red one, Sundubu is made with tofu and spicy seasoning.๐ถ๐ถ It is both healthy and tasty.๐๐
And this is the video of how I โmixโ the bibimbap myself. You should watch it.

(Why do I look so rushed? Was I too hungry?)๐ฆ
This is really a well-being food, as you may already know.
All are vegetarian, except for the eggs. I hadn't eaten this traditional food that much when I was in my 20s, but I enjoy it now, especially after having in guilty pleasure foods like hamburgers, pizza, or cakes, etc. the previous day.
And I found that this food works so well when I have constipation too. ๐ (what?)
Okay, now lastly let me talk about my next album.
The next album jacket is :

โฌ๏ธ๐

The album title is โHidden Heartโ, and It is about hidden emotions which can't be expressed, the feelings of love towards the lover.
It serves as an, kind of, OST for the story depicted in my songs โComplicatedโ and โSecret Wishโ.
They are best friends, but also have strong feelings for each other, which they struggle to express.
I'm still working on expanding this story into a โK-Drama' format, titled โSecret Wishโ. However, I'm still considering the best way to deliver it to you. (I've never heard of a drama story being delivered in episodes via a newsletter).
But I hope I can send you to share a short story (The introduction part, at least) around the album release date.
Oh, the album will be released on March 20th at 12:00 am in your local time zone. It features 4 tracks, including 3 new songs and 1 song with strings. All tracks are piano instrumentals, reminiscent of OST music, each capturing the hidden emotional depths of love.
Iโll try to send out my next newsletter around the release date, helping you to immerse yourself more deeply in the music and story.
Thatโs all for now.
Thank you for reading, and have a great week.๐น
Thank you ๐๐งก
Bye ๐
(I will say โbyeโ instead of โbest regardโ. It makes me feel more intimate)๐
