Kim Hye Rim - reFresh
This album is a work filled with new styling and musical attempts, centered on band sound.
‘Consolation (위로)’ written with the excitement that happened at least once and a little bit of “those were the days” in mind, ‘Flowers (꽃)’ - a story told to an unforgettable person with deepened emotions and strings, ‘F5’ made with the image of ‘refresh’ like the album title, along with intensely contrasting passionate lyrics, And ‘Each Other’s Today (서로의 오늘)’ which was pre-released first, with its bright and warm band sound.
These four songs are my emotional record that weaves together moments of excitement, hurt, determination, and comfort into one. The mini album 『reFresh』 that refreshes all seasons and emotions anew, I think it will be a very meaningful work for me as well.

Song Commentary #
1. Each Other’s Today (서로의 오늘) #
We greet each day anew. Whatever yesterday we passed through, whatever wounds we carried, Now we let them all flow away and face today’s us. So that even regret and disappointment can become light for today, Hoping we can live saying that this very moment is the best moment, May it be each other’s today moving forward.
Lyrics by Kim Hye Rim, Han Seung Woo

Arranged by Yu Woong Ryul, Jung Kyul, Han Seung Woo
2. Consolation (위로) #
Common imagined first loves always turn around where cherry blossoms are falling. I imagined a lot too. So in my dreams, I made a whole movie. I don’t want to meet my first love again, but first love remains as first love. Because they stay there with the same smile I imagined, they sometimes give comfort to my weary life. Things like “Oh, there were times like that” or “Oh, that person was so pretty/handsome” Please listen while thinking of that person who made me always smile in my life when I liked someone so innocently.
Lyrics by Kim Hye Rim, blueeye, Han Seung Woo

3. F5 #
In life, there are very good relationships, but there are also relationships you count down to end. Though I hope there aren’t any, one or so tends to appear in life. Though these expressions might be a bit intense now that I’ve escaped from being exhausted by a one-sided relationship where only I was looking, Thinking that now that I’ve finally come out of the trapped hell, there’s only going up left, I made and sang this hoping to shake off all the bad things and feel relieved. Let’s go up together.
Lyrics by Kim Hye Rim, Han Seung Woo
Composed by Han Seung Woo
Arranged by Yu Woong Ryul, Jung Kyul, Han Seung Woo
4. Flowers (꽃) #
When someone you can never see again appears, I sometimes think I want to delete the memories. Even if you regret, it’s too late, so thinking of that someone you can’t see or hear anymore, I think this is a song that will make someone cry heartbreakingly. Even if you want to cut it with scissors, you can’t cut it, so it’s a song where you can freely miss and regret. I hope it’s a time where you can fully empathize and receive comfort.
