Kim Chang-wan – [One Day]
A new album (EP) that delivers warm comfort to our difficult lives with the new song "One Day," filled with the master's mature charm!
“I Can See It Now”, which contains the sad longing and affection of father and mother, “Swallow” and “Big Tree”, children’s songs from the Sanulrim era, “Mother and Mackerel”, which was much loved, “Twelve-year-olds Live Twelve, Sixteen-year-olds Live Sixteen” by Kim Chang-wan Band, and “Baekilhong”, which contains deep insight into life, were reborn as songs with a simple arrangement and acoustic guitar.
* Booklet + commentary
In the summer of 2025, the song featured in Switzer's campaign ad, "Let's Go Home," became a hot topic, offering deep comfort to many. It was Kim Chang-wan's "On the Way Home." To young people, and to all of us, he has established himself as an "adult we all aspire to emulate." In the winter of 2025, he once again brings warm comfort to our difficult lives with "One Day," a song brimming with the master's mature charm.
“If you’re sick, you say you’re sick. Do you drag that body to work? / I pull up my baggy pants and walk on the dawn with my worn-out shoes. / The happy laughter of children playing brushes my ears. / Even if the wind blows and the clouds gather today, the sun will rise tomorrow. // If you’re tired, you say you’re tired. Do you go to work with that body? / My father’s sighs are on my shoulders, and my mother’s worries are in my pocket. / Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I look out the window and it’s full of sunlight. / I write about tomorrow in today’s diary, I write about hope.”
Each and every word of this tender, unforgettable song seems to soothe my parched heart. The easy, captivating melody, instantly etched in my ears and humming after just one listen, is beyond words. The gentle acoustic guitar, Kim Chang-wan's calm voice with its delicate trembling, the warm waltz rhythm that follows the faint trembling of cello and violin, the music evoked by a kazoo reminiscent of a child's laughter, and the soft keyboard and drums. "Haru" is the warm comfort I've felt for the first time in a long time.
Kim Chang-wan's new EP, "One Day," is an eight-song collection, including this beautiful new song, six songs from an LP planned and recorded earlier this year for his prose collection, "Now I Can See," and "I Wanted to Say This," re-recorded for his 2023 album, "I Am an Earthling." These songs, with their simple arrangements and acoustic guitar, convey the heartfelt emotions of the 71-year-old Kim Chang-wan, delivering a deeply moving and moving experience. This album includes "Now I Can See" which sings of the heart of a father that he came to know only after getting older, the sad longing for you who has left, and the longing for his mother, as well as the children's songs "Swallow" and "Big Tree" from the Sanulrim days sung softly and sadly in an old voice, the much-loved "Mother and Mackerel", Kim Chang-wan Band's "Twelve-Year-Olds Live Twelve, Sixteen-Year-Olds Live Sixteen", and "Baekilhong" which contains deep insight into life. The cover features Kim Chang-wan's drawing of his father's back, "Father".

Description (Original):
우리의 힘겨운 삶에 따스한 위로를 전하는거장의 원숙한 매력으로 가득한 새앨범(EP)!
김창완 – [하루]
거장의 원숙한 매력으로 가득한 신곡 〈하루〉와 함께 우리의 힘겨운 삶에 따스한 위로를 전하는 새 앨범(EP)!
아버지와 어머니의 애절한 그리움과 애틋한 마음을 담은 〈이제야 보이네〉, 산울림 시절의 동요 〈제비〉와 〈큰 나무〉, 많은 사랑을 받았던 〈어머니와 고등어〉, 김창완 밴드의 〈열두 살은 열두 살을 살고, 열여섯은 열여섯을 살지〉, 삶의 깊은 통찰을 담은 〈백일홍〉이 어쿠스틱 기타와 함께 소박한 편성의 노래로 다시 탄생하였다.
* 부클릿 + 해설지
2025년 여름, 스위첸의 캠페인 광고 '집에 가자'에 흘렀던 노래가 많은 이들에게 깊은 위안을 건네며 화제가 되었다. 바로 김창완의 〈집에 가는 길〉이었다. 젊은이들에게, 우리 모두에게 '닮고 싶은 어른'으로 자리한 그가 2025년 겨울, 거장의 원숙한 매력으로 가득한 노래 〈하루〉와 함께 또 다시 우리의 힘겨운 삶에 따스한 위로를 전한다.
“아프면 아프다 얘기를 하지, 그 몸을 끌고서 일하러 가나 / 헐렁해진 바지 추켜 입고 낡은 신발 새벽을 밟네 / 귓가에 스치는 아이들 뛰어노는 행복한 웃음소리 / 오늘은 바람 불고 먹구름 끼었어도 내일은 해가 뜬다 // 힘들면 힘들다 말이나 하지, 그 몸을 하고서 일터로 가나 / 아버지 한숨은 어깨에 지고 어머니 걱정 주머니에 차고 / 졸린 눈 비비며 창밖을 바라보니 햇살 가득한데 / 오늘의 일기에 내일을 적는다, 희망을 적는다”
어느 한 부분 그냥 지나칠 수 없는 이 다정한 노랫말 한 마디 한 마디가 메마른 가슴을 꼬옥 보듬어 주는 것만 같다. 한 번만 들어도 단번에 귀에 내려앉아 흥얼거리게 되는 쉽고 매혹적인 멜로디는 말할 나위 없다. 잔잔한 어쿠스틱 기타, 가녀린 떨림을 동반한 김창완의 담담한 목소리, 아련한 첼로와 바이올린에 이어지는 포근한 왈츠 리듬, 개구쟁이의 웃음 소리를 연상케 하는 카주와 부드러운 키보드와 드럼으로 이루어진 음악. 참 오랜만에 느끼는 따사로운 위로, 그게 〈하루〉다.
김창완의 새로운 EP 《하루》는 이 아름다운 신곡과, 올해 초 산문집 『이제야 보이네』를 위해 기획되어 녹음했던 LP에 담긴 노래 6곡과 2023년 앨범 《나는 지구인이다》를 위해 다시 녹음했던 〈이 말을 하고 싶었어요〉를 더해 8곡으로 구성된 작품집이다. 어쿠스틱 기타와 함께한 소박한 편성의 노래들에서 71세 김창완은 있는 그대로의 진솔한 감정을 담아 내보이며 뭉클한 감동을 전한다. 나이가 들고 나서야 알게 된 아버지의 마음과 떠난 당신에 대한 애절한 그리움, 어머니에 대한 애틋한 마음을 노래한 〈이제야 보이네〉를 비롯하여, 노년의 목소리로 나직하게 또 처연하게 노래하는 산울림 시절의 동요 〈제비〉와 〈큰 나무〉, 많은 사랑을 받았던 〈어머니와 고등어〉, 김창완 밴드의 〈열두 살은 열두 살을 살고, 열여섯은 열여섯을 살지〉, 삶의 깊은 통찰을 담은 〈백일홍〉이 수록되었다. 커버의 그림은 김창완이 그린 아버지의 뒷모습 「아버지」다.
