[Edaily Starin Reporter YUN GI BACK ] Ki-hoon, guitarist for the band CATCH THE YOUNG, is showcasing his unique take on youth through his first collaboration project. With his self-composed music and stylish teaser content, he has signaled his potential as a solo artist.

According to his agency, Evermore Entertainment, on the 17th, Ki-hoon recently unveiled the mood film and individual concept images for his first collaboration single, “Blue” (BLUE), sequentially via his official social media accounts.
The first mood film captures Ki-hoon playing the guitar under a blue sky. The natural atmosphere and refreshing visual aesthetics blend together to maximize the free and vibrant vibe conveyed by the new song.
The second video, released shortly after, completely shifted the mood. Utilizing vintage black-and-white tones, handwritten text, and objects symbolizing “BLUE,” it expressed a deeper emotional depth. As the band’s sound gradually builds over a gentle guitar melody, it simultaneously portrays the anxiety and hope inherent in youth.
The concept images highlighted their unpretentious, natural charm. From denim outfits and free-spirited poses with a guitar to soft gazes against a window backdrop and smiles intertwined with soap bubbles, the images captured a variety of moods, visually bringing the song’s emotions to life.
“Blue” is a song that celebrates the moments of youth—moments that will be remembered longer than fleeting, glamorous ones. It conveys a message of comfort to young people living in the same era, embodying anxiety, wounds, growth, and the courage to move forward toward their dreams once again.
Above all, this track holds special significance as it was conceived as Ki-hoon’s graduation project. He participated in the entire process—from writing the lyrics and composing the music to arranging the track—sincerely weaving his own experiences and emotions into the song.
As teaser content is released sequentially and anticipation grows, the identity of the collaborative artist working alongside Ki-hoon remains a mystery, fueling fans’ curiosity.
In particular, this single is expected to serve as an opportunity to prove Ki-hoon’s limitless potential as an “all-rounder musician” who goes beyond his role as the guitarist for Catch the Young to encompass full-scale production. Building on the solid foundation he has built through his group activities, Ki-hoon has enhanced the song’s quality by adding his own unique musical style. Fans are eagerly anticipating the expansion of Ki-hoon’s musical spectrum, which is set to broaden starting with this solo project.
Ki-hoon’s first collaboration single, “Blue” (BLUE), will be released at 6:00 p.m. on the 20th via various online music platforms.
