Singer DIMO REX (Bang Ye-dam) and rapper Molly Yam are united.

Demorex and Molyam recently held an interview to commemorate the release of the project EP "DIMOLLY" at the Star News headquarters in Seorin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

"Dimolex" is a unique visual challenge, complete with Molyam's trendyness, which has 100 million TikTok total views, and Demorex's production capability that breaks the boundaries of the genre. Bang Ye-dam stepped up as another self and musical persona Demorex.

The album contains a total of four songs, including the title track "You make me crazy," "We're going to be okay," "Reason Why I love because I love you," and "So, tonight."

"It's a love song, but I ultimately wanted to convey a sense of liberation to the listeners," Demorex said of the title song. Molyam then said, "I made the main melody and gave it to Demorex, and he pulled it off beautifully. This song was first made. The thrill of working together for the first time was well reflected, so those who listened to it first said, "It's the most fun" and "I think each person's individual mood fits well."

The reason why the two met and led to musical collaboration was creator Ryu Jeong-ran, but the consensus with each other played a big role in the quick success of the work.

Demorex said, "We got to know each other through Ryu Jeong-ran. He's a funny character. I thought it would be a good opportunity, so I came together. He said, "I had a musical understanding, and I think I was able to work as if I was popping up in an instant."

Molyam said, "What was funnier was that each of them had their own stories in their videos. When I went out on hip-hop radio, I heard a lot that it was like Bang Ye-dam. Similarly, in Demorex's video, there was a response saying, "Did you blacken it with mollyam?" I thought it was really good to see each other's appearances mentioned like this. I'm puzzled, but I think I'm going to show you a convincing result," he said.

"The chemistry was good even for us. From the first time I heard the music, I felt that it would fit well. I also gained confidence through Demorex," he added.

Demorex "It was a good synergy because I was well aware of what I didn't know. Looking at Molly Yum, I thought she was a "real artist," he said. "There are many similarities, but making a joint album together felt like a puzzle was put together as if everyone knew it."

In particular, the two will be nominated side by side for the "Korean Hip Hop Awards 2026," which will be held on the 11th. "Mollyam is very proud to be nominated for 'R&B Track of the Year' in the categories of 'Rookie of the Year', 'Collaboration of the Year', and 'Hip-hop Track of the Year'," Bang Yedam said.

"When I first came up in Reels, there was a lot of ridicule and malicious comments," Molyam said. There were many reactions that it was not pleasant to film videos in public, but I think hip-hop accepted that moment," he said, recalling his activities.

Meanwhile, the first project EP of Demorex and Molyam will be released on various online music sites and official YouTube channels at 6 p.m. on the 10th.
