The Meaning Behind Shin Hae Chul's "Pink Monster"

Shin Hae Chul's best album, Reboot Yourself, contains about fifty masterpieces and was released simultaneously online and offline today by his agency, KCA Entertainment.

Shin Hae Chul's "Dreams of the Freshwater Eel," "Fly Chick," and even his debut song, "For You," is included in the album. "The Only Promise," the title song from Shin Hae Chul's last solo album (Reboot Myself Part 1) and several songs that were unreleased, due to his sudden death, are included as well.  

Amongst the previously unreleased songs is "Pink Monster," which was a piece Shin Hae Chul made with his group N.EX.T and features his twin vocal, Lee Hyun-seob.

People who had known Shin Hae Chul say that he had a lot of affection for the song, "Pink Monster," while he was alive.

Although the rock song has an upbeat melody, it also has a dark growling throughout the song.  In the lyrics, there is a depiction of the "Pink Monster." 

"Chyureup, chyureup, winding long, long tongue/Bureup, bureup, wide open bloody red eyes/I'm a pinky pinky ddeng ddeng gi monster."

Shin Hae Chul's representative said, "After recording, Shin Hae Chul went home and opened the door to his children's room, where he found a pink monster doll next to them. He supposedly made the song after seeing this."

Reboot Yourself is a limited edition and will only sell 2,500 albums. The album consists of four CD's and covers both Shin Hae Chul's solo and band pieces. Photos that have never been released and a handwritten letter from Shin Hae Chul's mother are also included in the package.

On December 27, N.EX.T will hold a tribute concert, Dreams Of The Freshwater Eel, at the Korea University Hwajeong Stadium. Many famous singers will be performing on this stage as well. It has been decided between Shin Hae Chul's family, his agency, and the members of N.EX.T for all profits from the concert to go to the scholarship of Shin Hae Chul's children. The best album, Reboot Yourself, will be sold at the concert as well. Tickets for the concert can be bought through Interpark.
