- The new album's pre-release song "DEAD REFLEX" will be released worldwide on January 16th

Top Chinese star Dan Gun-cha will make his comeback with his third solo album in about a year and a half.
Dan Gun-cha (Tanzentz, 檀健次, and Tan Jian Ci) will release the pre-release song "DEAD REFLEX" of its third solo album simultaneously on music sites around the world, including Korea, at 12 p.m. on the 16th (Korea time). In particular, a large number of K-pop staff members from home and abroad are participating, drawing attention.
Dan Gun-cha visited Korea to work on the new song. He took intensive choreography training in Korea last month and filmed a performance video. As it has been gaining high popularity in overseas markets and steadily expanding its global recognition as an actor through recent dramas such as "Jang Sang-sa" and "Yeo-kyung," it is rumored that a large number of domestic and foreign fans flocked to Korea at the time. In addition, on-site photos and videos quickly spread through major Korean SNS, and at the same time, they were on various charts and popular keywords in China, attracting great attention.

A large number of world-class producers participated in the production of the new song, which was a hot topic even before its release. Global production teams such as Lindgren, who worked on BTS's "ON" and "A Poem for the Small Things," as well as Justin Bieber, James Abrahart, and Melanie Fontana, who collaborated with Usher, participated to enhance the completeness. It is said that within the framework of mature pop music, Dan Geon-cha's unique emotion and expression method were melted, and a distinct and unique musical color was built.

The performance video of "DEAD REFLEX," which is drawing attention in the Asian music market along with the sound source, was taken by director Lee Han-kyul, who worked with Blackpink and EXO. It is characterized by a visual unraveling of the Apocalypse worldview and the philosophical perspective of the Caniza triangle. Dan Geon-cha's dramatic performance and theatrical performance were embodied in a movie-like visual beauty.
The performance was choreographed by In-gyu, a key member of Korea's representative dance crew WDBZ. In-gyu is a talented artist who created the stage of top K-pop artists such as G-Dragon and Jenny. Dan Geon-cha showed off her ability as an artist by performing a dynamic mega-crew performance in this song.
This project is expected to be evaluated as one of the representative examples of Korea-China music production collaboration. Amid the continued expansion of exchanges in the Asian music market, the collaboration between Chinese artists and Korean producers shows the realistic possibility of cross-border co-creation. In addition, "DEAD REFLEX" is expected to establish itself as an important turning point for Dangan Motors to expand its activities in the Asian music market in earnest.
Meanwhile, Dan Gun-cha's new song "DEAD REFLEX" was the second pre-released song released across China on December 31 last year, and soon after its release, it received a hot response by sweeping the top of China's largest music platform QQ Music major charts and top real-time search words. The first pre-released song 'PROOF' (Proof) is also competing for first and second place with this new song on the QQ Music major chart.
