Lee Jin-young's 'I'm Ready', a Challenge for Bright Trot Dance with Sul Woon-do

Singer Lee Jin-young has presented a change in direction from her first single with her new song 'I'm Ready'. According to the official audio description released by Quarter Music, 'I'm Ready' is a song presented by Lee Jin-young following her first single 'The Person Who Was My Everything', and it contains a love story about expressing one's feelings honestly without hesitation toward a person they fell in love with at first sight.

This song moves a step away from her previous work, which sang of sad memories of love, and instead puts an atmosphere of reaching out first in the face of love at the forefront. The official introduction explains that Lee Jin-young does not stay in one image but continues to take new challenges, presenting 'I'm Ready' as another beginning for her.

Sul Woon-do Participated in Lyrics, Composition, and Vocal Directing

'I'm Ready' is a medium-tempo trot dance song based on a funky rhythm. Sul Woon-do took charge of the lyrics and composition for this song and also participated in the vocal directing. The official description stated that Sul Woon-do's unique sensible melody and intuitive lyrics combined to add a charm that is easily remembered after hearing it once.

Lee Jin-young was introduced as a singer who showed an mournful and lyrical voice in her first single 'The Person Who Was My Everything'. On the other hand, in 'I'm Ready', she expands her field of activity by showcasing a brighter, more confident vocal and rhythmic performance. While both use love as a subject, the new song contrasts with her previous work in that the former was closer to the emotions of parting, while the new song puts forward the energy and movement of a confession.

Production Collaboration from Recording to Choreography

Several production staff members worked together on the song. Park Kwang-bok was in charge of the arrangement, and Kim Hyun-ah participated in the chorus. The recording was conducted at J Studio in Bangbae-dong under the vocal directing of Sul Woon-do, and mixing and mastering were handled by Jung Moon-won. The official introduction explained that the perfection of the song was increased through these works.

Roman, Jang Woo-jin, and Seo Gi-jun are listed as directors for the music video. Among them, Roman is introduced as a person who has maintained a musical In-Yun with Lee Jin-young since her first single 'The Person Who Was My Everything'. For the choreography, MONKYS and Double D Company worked together to complete the unique, cheerful, and sophisticated performance of 'I'm Ready'.

The core of the new song lies in the fact that Lee Jin-young did not stay in the mournful image shown in her previous single but expanded her stride with a bright trot dance song. With the collaboration of Sul Woon-do's lyrics, composition, and vocal directing, Park Kwang-bok's arrangement, Kim Hyun-ah's chorus, Jung Moon-won's mixing and mastering, and the music video and choreography production teams, 'I'm Ready' is introduced as a song that shows Lee Jin-young's new musical color.
