[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Dancer Choi Ho-jong will appear in the music video for singer Park Hye-won (HYNN)’s new song. Expectations are running high for the synergy between Park Hye-won, a “leading figure in K-vocal,” and Choi Ho-jong, an “icon of K-dance.”

According to her agency, New Order Entertainment, on the 7th, Choi Ho-jong will appear in the music video for “It’s Not Like a Meteorite Fell and the End of the World Came,” one of the double title tracks from Park Hye-won’s new EP *Summer Vibes*, set for release at 6 p.m. on the 13th. He plans to not only perform but also participate in choreography creation and direction to convey the song’s emotional tone through movement.
The new song “It’s Not Like a Meteor Fell and the End of the World Came” is a pop R&B ballad produced by KZ. Built on a rhythmic sound and Park Hye-won’s soulful vocals, it captures the complex emotions following a breakup, and the music video—which incorporates performance elements—is expected to deliver an even deeper sense of immersion.
Choi Ho-jong is a dancer who has expanded his artistic scope based on Korean traditional dance. By reinterpreting traditional dance movements in a modern context, he has been active across performances, broadcasts, and various content formats. He recently received the “Young Artist of the Year Award” (Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Commendation) in the dance category at the “2025 Awards for Contributions to Culture and Arts” and was also selected as the recipient of the Frontier Award at the “Edaily Culture Awards.”
In his recently concluded second solo performance, “LIMBØ,” Choi Ho-jong left a powerful impression by expressing the inner turmoil and existential uncertainty of the human condition through profound physical language. Amid the enthusiastic response from a packed audience, he was recognized for both his popular appeal and artistic merit. This artistic depth and unique physical language continue in the music video for Park Hye-won’s new song, where Choi is expected to maximize the viewer’s immersion with his even deeper expressiveness and powerful presence.
In this music video, he collaborates with dancer Ahn Yu-jin. The two visually bring to life the narrative embedded in the song through their choreography, creating a video where music and performance blend seamlessly under the direction of Kwon Jae-heon. It is reported that Choi Ho-jong not only delivered a powerful performance but also led the creation and direction of the entire choreography, further enhancing the work’s quality.
Through this EP, Park Hye-won maintains her signature ballad sensibility while showcasing new genre experiments. With double title tracks signaling a broader musical spectrum, attention is focused on the synergy that will emerge from her collaboration with Choi Ho-jong.
Following the release of her new album, Park Hye-won is scheduled to hold her solo concert “Midnight Blue: Luna-rium” at Yonsei University’s Grand Auditorium on the 15th and 16th, where she will debut the new songs on stage for the first time.
