BoA & Kim HyungSuk

KBS Shark

BoA's new song "천국과 지옥 사이" (Between Heaven and Hell), an OST for KBS's new drama "상어" (Shark) has been released today!

I'm sure you guys have taken a listen or two already. :)
But did you notice BoA's tweet to a certain guy a few days ago? The guy is none other than Kim HyungSuk, the composer of BoA's new song. :)










Back in 2000, BoA debuted in Korea with an album "ID; Peace B". Out of all 12 tracks, 4 were composed by Kim HyungSuk 김형석.

Yes, they've worked together before. On May 23rd, Kim HyungSuk tweeted

@kimhs0927 "When I first worked with her, BoA was only a 15 year-old kid. 10+ years later, I worked with her again for drama Shark OST. BoA's transformed into a cool artist with depth. It's a sad waltz-style song with 6/8 beat minor (I have no idea what this is about -noshadow31). She sang so well. Thank you, BoA. ^^"

 @BoAkwon "Oppa~~ It's me, BoA. ^^ I've listened to the mix. Wish the drama would do well.. and the song become a big hit~~ LOL I'm glad to meet you again after 10+ years... Reminded me of the old days.. LOL Thank you for everything ^^ I'll follow you. ^^"

@kimhs0927 "Thank you. Your singing is much cooler and brighter that I've imagined the song to be. Time flies.. right? I always send you big applause and cheers. and thanks ^^ I'll follow too~~ LOL 

Now, back to listening to the song some more. BoA's emotion delivery in the song is no joke. You can tell she took great care in singing each syllable. :')
