Two veteran singers, known for their unique vocals, are making comebacks this month.

Kim Chang-wan will release his first solo album in 37 years. The singer first debuted as part of group Sanullim in 1977. The veteran singer has gained recognition thanks to singer-songwriter IU, who covered Sanullim’s song “Meaning of You” in 2014, which had originally been released in 1984. Kim also featured on the song.

The singer-turned-actor played a role on TV drama “My Love from the Star,” which ended in 2014.

Kim’s new album titled “Door” will be released on Oct. 18 at 6 p.m. through major music channels.

Veteran singer Im Chang-jung will release his 16th album on Oct. 19. The singer who is well known by ballad lovers will show off his more cheerful side on the new album.

Preorders for physical copies of Im's album begin today.
