Son Ho-young, once a member of the popular K-pop group g.o.d, has learned a valuable lesson in his solo career. For years, he believed that persistent effort could overcome any obstacle, dedicating eight hours each day to vocal practice. However, as he entered his 20th year in the solo scene, Son came to understand that some things simply cannot be forced and that taking the long way around often leads to better outcomes.
This philosophy is reflected in his new digital single, "Go Around," which marks the 20th anniversary of his solo debut and his first solo track in approximately five years. At 46 years old, Son will complement "Go Around" with "HORIZON," his first solo concert in five years, scheduled for October 31st and November 1st at KBS Arena in Gangseo District, western Seoul.
