Kim Chang-yeol and Im Chang-jeong team up for EDM dance track '학씨' out August 28

Kim Chang-yeol drops 학씨 (사랑은 나를 피해 걷는다) on August 28, 2026, with close friend Im Chang-jeong on the feature.

The track is an EDM-driven twist dance song built around one person's honest feelings about giving love without knowing how to love. It sits in that tension between emotional sincerity and a high-energy dancefloor sound. Lyrics are by Jang Yeon-seon (장연선). Kim Chang-yeol co-composed alongside DJ처리, with arrangement handled by DJ처리 and FERRY.

학씨 is Kim Chang-yeol's second solo release, following last year's disco-style 서울의 밤. He addressed the gap himself: "I prepared it a long time ago and was planning to release it before summer, but busy Chang-yeol kept putting it off, so now it's finally seeing the light of day."

The pairing with Im Chang-jeong — described as a close friend, not just a collaborator — gives the track a personal angle that a standard feature credit wouldn't.

He also left a message for listeners: "Put aside the pain of clumsy love for a moment, and let's shout together to the beat."

The single goes live on music platforms August 28.
