A narrative comparing breakup to tag: the message of the first EP

In the released performance, Kim Kyoul unfolded the core narrative of her first EP through music.

Through this stage, Kim Kyoul emphasized the thematic consciousness of the album by vividly delivering songs from her first EP, which was released on October 16. Kim Kyoul's musical narrative continued through a time when hearts hidden somewhere in the forest are discovered one by one.
