K-Pop Song Review: NMIXX - "Run For Roses" (with Young K of DAY6)

What a wise choice to put BAE's intimidating low register voice to start "Run For Roses". It's pulling out a competitive vibe as if there's no going back. I love the "go big or go home" energy from this song.

Turns out, Run For Roses is another term for a famous horse racing, Kentucky Derby. The winner would get a blanket (for the horse) and a huge bucket (for the jockey) that was made from hundreds of red roses. So, I think it's safe to say that NMIXX's "Run For Roses" means "run for glory".

The lyrics were co-written by DAY6's Young K, Lee Seuran, and THE HUB's Frankie Day. They substitute the race thingy to NMIXX's journey (that may be linked to their MIXXTOPIA universe). I just can feel the adrenaline from the first verse.

Challenge the impossible, yeah, we fight back

An invitation thrown into an unstable reality

With an expression full of dissatisfaction, we're back

I'll burn like fire, no limitation

Blow sweep my heart

We gotta go, woo

Our synergy is in full bloom

So that I don't lose the romance between you and me

Let's run

For the musical aspect, "Run For Roses" adapted country-pop music as the fiddle sound appears in pre-chorus. Country itself is a genre that is deeply rooted in southern America. Back to horse racing, Kentucky is a state in the Southeastern region of the United States. So, I can see a solidity of the concept here!

I'm glad that the song not only lasts for 2 minutes like the actual race duration. If I'm not wrong, it's about 3,5 minutes. The dynamics of "Run For Roses" was crazy. Their collaboration with Young K on It's Live with Young K makes it phenomenal. The DAY6's bassist ate the female key and his harmony with the girls was so ear-pleasing. Haewon, Lily, Sullyoon, BAE, Jiwoo, and Kyujin should get more recognition for their amazing talents.

"Run For Roses" is my first candidate for the best 2024 song. It would be featured on NMIXX's 2nd EP, Fe3O4: BREAK, that will be released on January 15th. Make sure you check it out later :)

Young K talks about his new album, how music brings people together and his experiences in Brazil

The musician took some time to talk to the HIT team! in an exclusive interview and digital cover for the September magazine! Check it out below:

TIME HIT – “Letter With Notes” is your first album since “Eternal” and your break for military service. How do you feel coming back this time with a new album?

Young K: I'm nervous but excited. I can't wait to share my music with you! I wanted to come back with an album, but I wasn't focusing on a whole one. I only submitted several songs and I think 11 of them were selected.

TIME HIT – Putting the album “Eternal” and your new release “Letters with notes” under analysis, what do you think is the biggest difference between their concept?

Young K: Besides the concept, I think the biggest difference would be the time that has passed. My voice changed and so did my way of thinking. So the story I tell and the words and notes I took must be different in some way.

TIME HIT – You are one of the most famous composers in Korea, with more than 100 songs signed. What is your creative process like when composing songs?

Young K: I always try to compose something that matches the song. So I took another look before finishing and making sure everything is ok.

TIME HIT – Do you remember the first song you composed?

Young K: The first song should be “daydreaming”. A song I wrote on guitar when I was in Canada. It's been 10 years now, so when I look at her, I think she's cute.

TIME HIT – The lyrics you write and the songs you sing have a positive impact on the lives of many people, every day. What's it like to be part of people's lives with your music, to be present in the happy and sad moments of your fans' lives?

Young K: I'm grateful that they take it that way. When I publish my songs and present them to the world, it's like they leave me. It's really up to the fans to choose to listen to them. If they feel something with them, I'm grateful for that.

TIME HIT – What advice would you give to beginning musicians?

Young K: Always do your best, but don't forget to take care of yourself. Be clear about who you are and take time to ask yourself if you are okay. This is for everyone, not just anyone who wants to be a musician.

TIME HIT – You were in college during the release of “Every DAY6” and it was certainly a big challenge! What advice would you give to university students who are going through challenges in their academic life?

Young K: Besides taking care of yourself, experience life. As much as you can. Learn in classes, learn from your friends, learn from every event you may face. Go travel, maybe. Time never comes back, so it's an opportunity you won't want to miss.

TIME HIT – What is your favorite memory while living in Canada?

Young K: Spending time with my dear friends. Talking about nothing important until late at night.

TIME HIT – Is there an instrument you would like to learn? And one that you tried, but gave up on because it was difficult?

Young K: I wanted to play the piano, so I took lessons. But due to lack of time and desire, they took me to this point, which is very close to the beginning. I learned to play a little drums with Dowoon, but I realized it was something I hadn't dreamed of at the time.

TIME HIT – You have had many experiences and achieved a lot in life. What is your dream currently? Something you haven't done or achieved yet, but really want to one day?

Young K: My dream currently is to sing and perform on stage as much as possible. To do this, I have to stay as healthy as possible. Not just me, but you too.

TIME HIT – Latin American fans are a very passionate audience for K-pop. Is there a Latin American rhythm that you would like to incorporate into your music one day?

Young K: We actually tried to incorporate them into some previous songs! I'm still open to challenges.

TIME HIT – Language is no longer a barrier to the power of music. How do you feel with so many fans spread across such distant places and with such different cultures and languages?

Young K: I would like to meet them and sing. It's always impressive to see how this is possible. When they sing together, it really is a different feeling. It makes me want to come back with more songs.

TIME HIT – You have collaborated with artists such as Ben&Ben, Jamie Miller and Park Moonchi. Are there any artists you would like to collaborate with at the moment?

Young K: I'm open to collaborations! Anyone interested, just give me a touch. It would be an honor to do something, anything with Ryan Tedder.

TIME HIT – Your project “YOUNG ONE” is loved by fans and the videos have accumulated millions of views. Which cover did you enjoy recording the most?

Young K: I think recording on a boat was something I could never forget. The song was “Fly Me To The Moon” and the night in Amsterdam was beautiful.

TIME HIT – What is your favorite karaoke or to sing in the car?

Young K: The songs to sing in the car would be the ones I need to practice. I like to spend my time in a car practicing songs I'm going to sing, or warming up my voice.

TIME HIT – Which musical genre do you want to explore a little more?

Young K: Maybe jazz in the future. Jazz is a genre I'm interested in, but have never delved into.

TIME HIT – What memory from your tour do you like most?

Young K: The different energies of different cities. Spending time with the members on the tour bus, and recording “YOUNG ONE” in my free time. And last but not least, the food.

TIME HIT – What is your favorite movie of all time that you would recommend to fans?

Young K: I wouldn't say all time, but one of my favorite movies that I loved most recently was “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish”.

TIME HIT – Eating is certainly one of your passions. Have you ever eaten Brazilian food? Is there a Brazilian dish you would like to try?

Young K: I've tried barbecue and loved it. I would like to try Vatapá one day.

TIME HIT – Can you send a message to your Brazilian fans?

Young K: I hope you guys always stay healthy! And I also wish you happiness and luck. If we can meet one day, let the night be filled with passion and love!

trying new things

does anyone else have this thing where they really want to try something new, but they just don't have the energy to do it?

Example: One of my friends wants to get me into Xdinary Heroes, since back when I used to listen to kpop, DAY6 was my all time favourite group (no I literally loved their music, I'd shuffle play their entire discography and sing along to all the choruses that I memorised. I can't choose a favourite album but go give "Unlock" some love, and "Shoot Me: Youth Part 1" too omg).

That was a bit of tangent (I am always willing to talk about my fav DAY6 songs haha)

Anyway, my friend is telling me all about their music (Xdinary Heroes) and the style and the members, and I really really want to listen to their music but I cannot get myself to do it for some reason.

I only really have the energy to listen to the 4 main playlists I have:

The morning playlist

The daytime playlist

The evening/going to bed playlist

The "don't die please keep going I promise this is all somewhat worth it" playlist

It's a bit annoying-

Hopefully soon I can get back into trying new things? I got into polyphia and the penumbra podcast through a (different) friend, so I do like recommendations when I have the capacity to take them!
