Noon is the center of the day, a moment that signifies the turning point of artist Kim Jong Hyun's activities - the momentum where a new beginning and growth start.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cmeridiem\u003e defines the driving force of this new beginning as the fans who become light, starting with the intro track into the Light, and the title track \u003clights\u003e, along with stories about fans throughout the entire album.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe album \u003cmeridiem\u003e is also produced in two versions, \u003cante\u003e meaning morning and \u003cpost\u003e meaning afternoon, visually expressing the story of before and after \u003cmeridiem\u003e in concept photos and jacket images. The story of the album, which flows from morning to noon to afternoon surrounding solo artist Kim Jong Hyun, is also contained in the songs, with the title track \u003clights\u003e telling the story of Kim Jong Hyun after noon - that is, after his solo debut, and the coupling track \u003cblaze\u003e expressing Kim Jong Hyun's feelings as he approaches noon.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis album, which organically contains concept, visuals, and music, shines even brighter with Kim Jong Hyun's participation. He participated from the planning stage of setting the album's concept and was involved in the entire production process.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBy participating in the lyrics of the title track Lights and the coupling track Blaze, he directly expressed the meaning contained in the album,\u003cbr\u003e\nand his self-composed songs \u003chello\u003e and \u003cto.\u003e also convey his affectionate feelings towards the fans.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn MERIDIEM, Kim Jong Hyun expresses through lyrics he wrote himself that he can start anew with excitement about a new beginning and faith in the fans, leaving behind fears and worries.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the title track Lights and the coupling track Blaze, he participated in the lyrics, expressing his feelings before and after his solo debut in relation to light, sun, moon, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAdditionally, this album includes two self-composed songs, \u003chello\u003e and \u003cto.\u003e, in which Kim Jong Hyun not only wrote the lyrics but also participated in the composition, adding more meaning. \u003chello\u003e captures the joy of meeting fans after a long time, while \u003cto.\u003e confesses his honest feelings towards the fans, expressing his intention to cherish and show more in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis first solo album can be said to prove Kim Jong Hyun's potential for continuous growth as he has showcased his skills as a rap maker and lyricist since his previous group activities, participating throughout the entire album.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe track Creator, included as the 5th track, is a song with a sense of the end of the century, and although Kim Jong Hyun did not participate in the lyrics and composition, it contains the story of his struggles and self-affirmation as a Creator, aligning with the overall story of the album.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, this album is composed of songs that not only existing fans but also the general public can comfortably listen to, which is expected to be an opportunity to expand Kim Jong Hyun's musical world.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTRACK LIST\u003cbr\u003e\n1. Intro (into the Light)\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first track of the first mini album and an intro song announcing the first step of the solo journey. It is a track that encapsulates the time change of morning-noon-afternoon, featuring participation from ZozoCrew (ELDORADO), who worked on the title track and \u003ccreator\u003e. The first half shows the intensity of \u003cblaze\u003e with bass and guitar, while the latter half uses plucks and synths that match the bright feeling of \u003clights\u003e, and the final part uses a fade-out to give a feeling of entering into the light. The album's keywords are narrated to convey the overall feeling of the album.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n2. Blaze\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cblaze\u003e is a song that expresses the desire to run towards the noon sun and be reborn, as the title suggests. It corresponds to one of the album versions, \u003cante\u003e, and Kim Jong Hyun participated in the lyrics. As a coupling track of the album, it features an addictive melody over a trap beat, themed around the whistle sound from \u003cintro\u003e. It is a song where vintage guitar and dynamic synthesizers harmonize. It expresses Jong Hyun's ambition to rise higher without settling for the past.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n3. Lights\u003cbr\u003e\nThe third track is the title song \u003clights\u003e, which conveys the intention to move towards the world and fans with excitement instead of worries. While \u003cblaze\u003e corresponds to the album version \u003cante\u003e, \u003clights\u003e corresponds to the time after noon, that is, \u003cpost\u003e, contrasting with \u003cblaze\u003e, which runs towards the sun, expressing the journey towards the moon and floating in the universe.\u003cbr\u003e\nLike the coupling track \u003cblaze\u003e, Kim Jong Hyun participated in the lyrics, adding to its meaning. It is a hip-hop dance song featuring bright plucks and vox sounds reminiscent of light, harmonizing with various instruments. It expresses Jong Hyun's ambition to pursue freedom like light, and many fans are also the light that shines on Jong Hyun, capturing the process of those lights coming together harmoniously.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n4. Hello\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003chello\u003e is a song that captures Kim Jong Hyun's joy of meeting fans after a long time, expressing the excitement of meeting fans who have become \"light\" throughout the entire album theme. MRCH participates in the vocals, enhancing the warm atmosphere of the song.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe melody has little leap and a simple instrumental arrangement, expressing a lively and modern feel with a clean 16-bit guitar riff and a light beat. By inserting pauses in the Pluck Synth and guitar riffs, it aims to capture the bouncy and exciting feeling of the lyrics, and with a loop progression that does not greatly distinguish between the introduction, development, and conclusion, it aims to create a song that can be listened to lightly and pleasantly from start to finish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n5. Creator\u003cbr\u003e\nA song by ZozoCrew, who composed the title track \u003clights\u003e, it contains the intention to walk my own path for self-affirmation as a solo artist starting anew.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a song that harmonizes rock metal with hip-hop, matching intense sounds with electro dance sounds, expressing the struggles and feelings of an artist wanting to reveal their own color and identity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n6. to.( )\u003cbr\u003e\nThe last track with a unique title is a self-composed song by Kim Jong Hyun, a fan song included in the first mini album. The empty parentheses paradoxically express Jong Hyun's feelings of wanting to call out the names of the fans who have become light. Although he will walk an unfamiliar path in the future, the song conveys that he is not afraid or worried because the fans who have become \"light\" are by his side, making it a special song for both the fans and Jong Hyun. To give a feeling of Jong Hyun's monologue, he tried to minimize the instrumental tracks, expressing a sense of silence and emptiness with a static piano and a sine pad in the background. He aimed to depict the night sky with a synth tone that sounds like it is fluttering, and the loop rhythm and bass that start in the latter half of the song express the artist's forward movement.\u003c\/lights\u003e\u003c\/hello\u003e\u003c\/blaze\u003e\u003c\/blaze\u003e\u003c\/post\u003e\u003c\/lights\u003e\u003c\/ante\u003e\u003c\/blaze\u003e\u003c\/lights\u003e\u003c\/intro\u003e\u003c\/ante\u003e\u003c\/blaze\u003e\u003c\/lights\u003e\u003c\/blaze\u003e\u003c\/creator\u003e\u003c\/to.\u003e\u003c\/hello\u003e\u003c\/to.\u003e\u003c\/hello\u003e\u003c\/to.\u003e\u003c\/hello\u003e\u003c\/blaze\u003e\u003c\/lights\u003e\u003c\/meridiem\u003e\u003c\/post\u003e\u003c\/ante\u003e\u003c\/meridiem\u003e\u003c\/lights\u003e\u003c\/meridiem\u003e\u003c\/meridiem\u003e\u003c\/meridiem\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"border-b-[1px] pb-3 font-bold\"\u003eProduct Information Disclosure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"text-xs text-[#555555]\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-[8px] text-[14.3px]\"\u003eProduct Name\u003c!-- --\u003e : \u003c!-- --\u003eKim Jong Hyun (Kim Jong Hyeon) - Mini Album 1st [MERIDIEM] [RANDOM] (Random Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-[8px] text-[14.3px]\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c!-- --\u003e : \u003c!-- --\u003eKorea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-[8px] text-[14.3px]\"\u003eManufactured\/Imported\u003c!-- --\u003e : \u003c!-- --\u003e Kakao Entertainment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-[8px] text-[14.3px]\"\u003eQuality Assurance Standards\u003c!-- --\u003e : \u003c!-- --\u003eIn accordance with relevant laws and consumer dispute resolution regulations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-[8px] text-[14.3px]\"\u003eAS Responsible Contact\u003c!-- --\u003e : \u003c!-- --\u003eALLKMAG, 070-8065-4645\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Kim Jong Hyeon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50513110532412,"sku":"KOBAA2412023013","price":14.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/8653\/4716\/files\/GD00085966.default.1.png?v=1733278631","url":"https:\/\/www.allkpopmag.com\/products\/kim-jong-hyeon-mini-album-1st-meridiem-random-version","provider":"Allkmag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
