Song Ja-ho, known as the former boyfriend of KARA member Park Gyuri and a third-generation heir of Dongwon Construction, is set to debut as a singer.
According to Songdam Studio, he will release his first ballad single, titled 'A Love That Feels Too Fateful to Call a Coincidence,' on the 28th at noon.
On the previous day, he announced his debut on social media, stating, "I will debut as a singer this Friday at 12 PM. Please listen to it a lot."
A video released alongside the announcement showcased a portion of the debut song and the album cover. The track is reportedly written and composed by producer Han Gil.
Song Ja-ho expressed, "This album is not just about releasing a song; it signifies the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I believe that the power of love transcends everything, and I hope everyone who listens to this song reflects on the true meaning of love."
Song Ja-ho is the grandson of former Dongwon Construction Chairman Song Seung-heon. He gained attention in 2019 for his public relationship with Park Gyuri, which ended in 2021.
In 2022, he ran for a seat in the Seoul Seocho-gap by-election. The following year, he was indicted on charges related to fraud involving Pika Coin, a cryptocurrency that operated by allowing multiple investors to share ownership of artworks. His first trial is currently ongoing.
The prosecution alleges that Song Ja-ho, along with Lee Hee-jin and Lee Hee-moon, known as 'Cheongdam-dong stock tycoons,' falsely promoted business achievements to inflate the value of virtual assets before selling them, resulting in a theft of 33.8 billion won.
At that time, Park Gyuri also served as a curator and chief public relations officer for the Pika project and testified in July, clarifying that she had not been involved in any illegal virtual asset business or market manipulation.
