K-pop Icon Cho Yong-pil set to release 20th studio album next month

K-pop legend Cho Yong-pil is making a highly anticipated return with his first full-length album in 11 years.

He revealed that the new album, titled “20,” will be released on October 22 via his agency’s homepage.

Expressing his gratitude, Cho emphasized his excitement to connect with fans through this new music and share his emotions.

Since debuting in 1968 with the rock band Atkins, Cho has built an enduring career and achieved immense popularity in Korea.

He began his solo journey in 1976 with the hit single “Come Back to Busan Port,” which launched his successful career.

His first full-length album sold over a million copies in 1980 and included iconic tracks such as “A Girl Outside the Window.”

Over his career, Cho has released 19 studio albums and numerous hits, including classics like “Candle Light” and “Dream.”

Last year, he celebrated 55 years in the industry with a solo concert at Jamsil Olympic Stadium, a prestigious venue for top stars.

His previous full-length album, “Hello,” was released in 2013 and featured popular songs like “Bounce” and “Hello.”

Originally set for release last year, his 20th LP was postponed to ensure the highest quality and musical excellence.
