Koo Chang-mo, the star of 'Heenari', will unveil a new song for the first time in 36 years.

According to Ddolbae Entertainment, Koo Chang-mo will release his special album 'Memory & Future' through various online music platforms at noon on the 14th. This new album marks his first release since his fifth album 'Sad Love Affair' in 1989, 36 years later. As the title suggests, the album captures deep emotions that transcend generations, from nostalgic moments alive in the public's memory to his newly envisioned future, according to a company representative.

The representative stated, "This album includes 12 mega-hit songs from his days with Songgolmae and during his solo career, plus two newly produced tracks, totaling 14 rich tracks. It is expected to become a special masterpiece that comprehensively covers Koo Chang-mo's musical history."

The title track of the album and his first new song in 36 years, 'Meeting You Again', is a sequel to the hit song 'Unexpectedly Met You', which was the title track of Songgolmae's second album and was written and composed by Koo Chang-mo himself. The other new song, 'Lover from Planet Earth', showcases Koo Chang-mo's bold musical transformation, featuring an operatic vocal style reminiscent of CCM (Contemporary Christian Music).

Music critic Im Jin-mo commented on Koo Chang-mo's new album: "The virtue that runs through both the new songs and his past hits is truly youthful to the point of amazement. Whether it evokes memories or defines the future he proposes, it ultimately boils down to the youthfulness of youth. This will be a welcome gift for the public who have long yearned for Koo Chang-mo."

To commemorate the album release, Koo Chang-mo will appear on YouTube's Suwajin TV in a live broadcast at 8 p.m. on the 14th, the day of the music release. On this stage, he will perform five songs live, including his hits 'Unexpectedly Met You', 'Heenari', and 'To My Child'.

Meanwhile, Koo Chang-mo participated as a member of Black Tetra in the 1978 TBC Beach Song Festival with the song 'Clouds and Me' In Gi-sang-eul (수상). He later became the frontman and main composer of Songgolmae, a symbol of Korean rock bands in the 1980s, achieving hits such as 'Everyone Will Love', 'The Moment I First Saw You', and others. After transitioning to a solo career, he joined the ranks of "national singers" with songs like 'Heenari', 'Matured by Pain', and 'Open the Door'.
