Jang Hyeri returns with emotional ballad "오늘은 맘껏 설레고 싶다", produced by Ko Byeong-sik

Ballad comeback after trot success

Jang Hyeri is back with 오늘은 맘껏 설레고 싶다, a sensual ballad that pulls hard away from the dance trot energy of 안아주세요, which landed with a wide audience.

Her warm voice carries lyrics about that specific moment—when you realize you're falling in love. The words stay grounded, everyday, nothing flowery. What drives the song is that overwhelming, almost disorienting rush of recognition.

Ko Byeong-sik produced. His resume includes work for Kim Tae-woo, Yang Ji-eun, Ali, Sohyang, Jo Hang-jo, Kim Da-hyeon, and Hwang Ga-ram across albums and OSTs.

Singer, dancer, actor, MC, bassist

Jang Hyeri's work spans singing, dancing, acting, MC hosting, and bass playing. 오늘은 맘껏 설레고 싶다 marks another lane entirely—ballad territory, distinct from the upbeat trot world of 안아주세요.

(Bass players who can front a ballad this well are rare enough that the range deserves notice.)
