Roy Kim to release new single ‘Cry Out Loud’ on the 6th

Roy Kim will release his new single ‘Cry Out Loud’ through various online music sites at 6 PM on the 6th.

According to media reports, this song contains a message different from the common words offered to those having a hard time, such as “Don't cry,” “It's okay,” or “Cheer up.”

Roy Kim stated that he infused the song with the meaning of facing sadness fully and pouring it out, rather than suppressing it, to gain the strength to stand up again.

He said, “It is easy to think that holding back tears is a mature attitude, but it also requires courage to acknowledge one's own sadness and express it fully. If you continue to suppress your emotions, wounds remain in your heart, but after crying enough and letting the sadness flow away, you can gain the strength to move forward again.”

He continued, “I also included the thought in the song that the experience of fully passing through one's own pain eventually leads to a depth that allows one to understand others' sadness and reach out a hand,” and clarified, “‘Cry Out Loud’ is not a song meaning to stay stuck in sadness, but a song that hopes you will stand up even more firmly after feeling the pain sufficiently.”
