Dai releases BC Portal song “One Kiss”

CHARM’s Dai has released a new single through BC Portal. Dai made an appearance on BC Entertainment’s wing of Portal in January when he collaborated with Lipstick’s Ruby for the single “Happening” and he made his solo debut last May with the song “Wild Flower”. His newest single, released in audio form without a music video, draws from the classic rock influences peppering his Self-Portrait mini-album. “One Kiss” is a theatrical rock-influenced ballad, in which Dai takes another step outside of the genres and vocal delivery fans are used to hearing from him within the borders of CHARM’s discography. Dai is credited for helping in part to write the song’s lyrics.

COMMENTS

1. they all have a lot of time in the industry! it will be a really professional team

2. “happening” must have been a teaser for this! as a vanity, i’ll be cheering for not only ruby, but her collaborator dai and her senior duri as well

3. how did the show get three bc idols like this? they seriously must have saved kim byungchul himself in a past life

4. duri is about to have a solo comeback... bc better plan on giving him full resources for his comeback if they’re going to keep pushing him into music show mcing

Ruby & Dai release BC Portal song “Happening”

Lipstick’s Ruby and CHARM’s Dai have collaborated to release a new single through BC Entertainment’s wing of the Portal digital music project. The two previously collaborated when Ruby featured on “For You Now” off of Dai’s Self-Portrait mini-album last September. “Happening” is a bittersweet guitar-driven track about the end of a relationship, turning what once could have been a “happy ending” into a brief, ill-fated “happening”. Ruby and Dai both appear in the music video, though they seem to exist in different realms with Dai’s scenes centered around a train and Ruby’s centered around a diner.
