[YTERVIEW] "The best song is 'Dreams of Octopus'". Thank you, children".

Singer Ahn Ye-eun, who has established herself as a sad and mournful song in the style of Korean traditional music. There are many popular songs such as "Hongyeon", "Sanghwa", and "Changgui", but his favorite song was "Dreams of Octopus", which was cute and cute. This is an unexpected result for those who remember Ahn Ye-eun as a so-called "historical ballad."

"I really thank the children from the bottom of my heart. Usually, babies before the age of five repeat 'dreams of octopuses' all day long, and I think that's been a huge help."

Taking advantage of this cute corner(?) even more, Ahn Ye-eun returned with her new song 'King of carp'. The title song of Ahn Ye-eun's fourth EP album, "The Story Bundle," released on the 21st, is an electro-swing genre song and is Ahn's first dance song.

Ahn Ye-eun said, "I'm not a good dancer, but it's a challenge for me, but as I worked on the arrangement, I thought that 'a bagger' shouldn't go around alone. That's why I added choreography with the feeling of a bagger and a storyboard in "Story Bag."

Ahn Ye-eun's dance songs are also amazing, but the album contains a number of brighter genres such as folk, rock, and bossa nova. "There is no 'historical ballad' in this album," he said. It is an unconventional move to say that there is no historical drama ballad, which is unique enough to be called Ahn Ye-eun's own genre. He said, "I tried to use a lot of modern sounds, and I tried not to use a lot of colloquial language in the lyrics."

As for the reason for the change away from the painful music style, Ahn Ye-eun said, "If I was stopped by myself who was passive and desperate before, recently my self has changed to an active 'let's do something'."

As my motivation increased, I tried exciting music and tried to change. "I feel like I'm working with a healthy self," he said. I think those efforts have come together to make a song called 'King of carp' this time, he said.

As the genre became more diverse, he also sought to change his vocal style. "The singing method has not completely changed, but we are trying to broaden the range of vocals so that other sounds can be used," he said, who is taking vocal classes recently.

Ahn Ye-eun's musically expanded challenge can be seen in the last single. While keeping the color of the historical drama ballad through a series of horror specials such as "Changgui" and "Hongryeon," Ahn Ye-eun's music such as "From School Uniform to Bouquet," which is recently popular as a wedding song, is also played.

He is determined to keep this direction in the future. He also expressed his desire to release a new song in the genre of "historical ballad" and a new song in a horror special, and at the same time expressed his willingness to challenge new genres such as hip-hop.

"If you compare it to food, I think it's a restaurant. "Kimchi stew is the main menu, but I also served mackerel as a menu for the season." I'm working on music like this. I'm not disappointed if you say the new menu is bad, but I'll bring kimchi stew again next time.(laughs) "
