Jewelry gained much popularity with their hit song “Superstar”, which showed off both their vocal and musical skills. After wrapping up their 4th album promotional activities, they all split up to show off their own talents. Members Seo In Young and Park Jung Ah released their own solo albums that represented their own individual styles and tastes in music. Jewelry have now returned with a stronger voice and powerful dance choreography. Replacing Jo Min Ah and Lee Ji Yeon are new members Ha Joo Yeon and Kim Eun Jung. Ha Joo Yeon is also known as Baby-J, the rapper for Seo In Young’s hit song “I Want You” from her solo album. Kim Eun Jung was picked through an audition and has trained for two years. This 5th album is filled with Jewelry’s thoughts on music, fashion and life.
★ Album title song: "ONE MORE TIME" ★
Jewelry’s 5th album title song, “One More Time”, is a remake song that was originally sung by In-Grid. Composer Park Geun Tae arranged this song and Shinhwa’s Lee Min Woo wrote the lyrics. It is a fun and upbeat dance song with an electronica sound and an accordion that is repeated throughout the song making it more addictive.
★ JEWELRY 5TH ALBUM "KITCHI ISLAND" ★
We are Jewelry…
We are singers that shine brighter than the stars when we are up on stage…
There are many songs that exist in this world…
If you and I are known as popular, that means all the people put effort to become the same…
But we are different…
Our stage…Our songs…
Our album…is different…
Something that’s common, but not…
Something that looks the same, but not…
We are the one and only Jewelry that exist in this world…
