Veteran ballad singer Kim Bum-soo will release a new song "Juliana" in collaboration with producer Kirin at 6 p.m. on Aug. 6, his agency Young Entertainment said on Friday.

Kirin is known for his New Jack Swing style of music that evokes the sensibilities of the 1980s and ‘90s.

"While ‘90s-style music is booming in Korea, especially due to the recent formation of SSAK3, a '90s-style co-ed pop group that has been put together by MBC’s entertainment show 'Hangout with Yoo,' Kim and Kirin’s new song will tell a story of the ‘90s as if introducing a fictional universe in fantasy," the agency said.

“Juliana” comes as the ninth track on Kim’s long-term project dubbed “MAKE 20,” to celebrate the 20th year since his debut in 1999.

He debuted with “A Promise” (1999), and his biggest hits include songs like “I Miss You” (2002) and “Last love” (2011).
