Lim Chang Jung: Hail to the King -- riceball

Posted Image

Lim Chang Jung often considered the most versatile entertainer in the business due to both his singing and acting will be giving up the mike as a gasoo. The ballad singer first debuted at the age of 17 in the movie "Southern Soldier." He later enjoyed success in the acting industry in subsequent dramas and musicals but all said and done he will probably be better known for his singing career. After his first album came out in 1995 he made hit songs out of tracks such as "Marry Me," "My Lover," "You Who Looks Like Me," "www.sarang.com," To Me Already," "Reason for Waiting," "Smile Again," "Love Affair" and "Dance With Wolves." Each of his albums averaged 450,000 sales. During this time he continued his acting career appearing in several dramas and full length films.

Long before his 10th album was released Lim Chang Jung hinted that his 10th would be last. He recently confirmed his fans' fear after naming his 10th album "Bye" which was released on June 5. It wasn't an abrupt decision," said Lim Chang Jung. "I did once tell the fans that the 10th album would be the last. Frankly after "Bit" (one of his hit movies) I felt that my acting skills were dropping off," meaning that Lim Chang Jung will be concentrating on his acting from now on but will probably not stop singing completely. He's expected to participate in OST albums, project albums and probably other gasoos' albums in the future but he said he won't release another official album of his own. "I have no regrets since I really worked hard in this business but I kind of got tired of the busy gasoo schedule running around from broadcast to broadcast. I want to settle down and get into things like producing, writing and composing," he said. Lim Chang Jung who has released the most albums among younger generations gasoos produced the new 12 track album himself while writing 8 of the songs. The title song is called "A Drink of Soju" and is about unforgettable love. The follow up song which is also called "Bye" was written and composed by Psy and also features Psy's rapping. The album also includes remixes of Chang Jung's 2 favorite songs from his 10 albums "To Me Already" and "My Lover." Lim Chang Jung is already busy filming a new movie called "Great Property" and has been casted in the KBS sitcom called "Run Mother."
