Woosung Will Release His New EP, “MOTH”

Dynamic all-rounder South Korean artist Woosung, will be releasing his forthcoming EP, “MOTH” on May 13^th  through Transparent Arts. The new all-English EP features 4 tracks that encompass the theme of MOTH, written and produced by Woosung.

The lush description of his lyrics is drawn from inspiration from the album introduction that gives a palate onto this new journey. “While a butterfly is perceived as a beautiful and touchable creature in the daylight, a moth is nocturnal and often colorless, translucent, and drawn to the light. Taking a closer look, these dull, unpopular moths can be just as pleasing to the eye, when the light shines through them as they fly through the night. MOTH symbolizes the transformation, change, rebirth, and power of regeneration. MOTH takes the path of the unpopular, the unchosen, the not-so-beautiful ones and takes the listener into a world where the butterflies and moths can be seen side by side.”

Woosung says, “This album is for the people that show their true beauty when the light shines on them.”

Known for his sensational raspy vocals and as the frontman of the rock indie band The Rose, Woosung made his debut as a solo artist in 2019 with the EP Wolf, garnering nearly 20 million views on YouTube. He graced his vocals on the original soundtrack of the critically acclaimed hit Netflix K-drama series Itaewon Class.

“MOTH” will be released through Transparent Arts on May 13^th and will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, and other music platforms around the world.
