Tablo is the featured rapper. Junsu and Tablo were on the same track back in the old days for a Samsung promotional thing. Anyband. Junsu and Tablo together again is a dream collaboration for me.
The operatic female voice in the backing vocal is Jung Sun-ah. She worked with Junsu in the musicals for Mozart! and Dracula. I adore her voice.
My ultimate bias is back with this epic fantasy madness.
I could spend a few hours writing out an essay on potential symbolism and how much I adore this MV and a million other things, but I'll refrain from doing that here.
I'll just say that this is essentially his last big work before he enlists in the military. The album is the culmination of an already long career in the industry (and being effectively banned by that industry).
I cried watching this the first time. Cried listening to the album.
Junsu is not just an important figure in Korean Music, but an important figure in my life.
I honestly can't overstate that.
I'm delighted how far he has pushed himself to the wildest extremes. Pushing boundaries that others are unwilling or incapable of pushing. Always impressive. Always creative.
I feel perpetually privileged to be his fan. He gives so much.
XIA JUNSU, FIGHTING!
