He is also scheduled to hold his "2026 Paul Kim 1st Japan Fanmeeting: Yakusoku" on June 14.

Starting today, May 20 (Wednesday), the coupling track "Iccha Meccha Aitai" is available for advanced streaming. It is a refreshing pop song perfect for the early summer season.

Also, a live clip for "Iccha Meccha Aitai" premieres today at 18:00 on his official YouTube channel, "폴킴 Paul Kim Official." It is designed as a short movie capturing the essence of the song's worldview.

[Comments from Paul Kim] On filming the live clip: "I filmed the clip with a Toy Poodle named Pona. She was very cute and well-behaved. The filming went smoothly, and the resulting clip captures the lyrics in visual form. It features scenes like waking up early, thinking of someone, and riding a bicycle—it perfectly translates the imagery from the lyrics into the video."

"I listened to this song a lot while driving in Korea after the mixing was finished. It’s a song perfect for sunny days, traveling, or just relaxing on an ordinary day. I hope it brightens up your morning or afternoon."
