South Korean actor and global star Ahn Hyo-seop has officially released his debut solo single, joining forces with multi-platinum American recording artist Khalid.
The highly anticipated cross-market collaboration, titled “Something Special,” is available now on all major streaming platforms via FANDOM.
Fans can also look forward to an official music video, which Musicow is set to release in June. The video will highlight the unique chemistry between Ahn Hyo-seop and Khalid while bringing the cross-cultural collaboration to life on screen.
Ahn Hyo-seop is globally recognized for voicing Jinu, the leader of the demon boy band Saja Boys in the Netflix animated phenomenon “KPop Demon Hunters.” Now, he bridges the worlds of K-pop and U.S. R&B alongside Grammy-nominated artist Khalid.
The sleek and emotionally resonant track was produced by Woo “RAINSTONE” Rhee, known for his work on the hit track “Nobody” by legendary K-pop group Wonder Girls. It was co-produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Troy “R8DIO” Johnson, whose credits include Solange’s critically acclaimed album “A Seat at the Table.”
This genre-blending release is a milestone for both artists, marking Ahn Hyo-seop’s first official solo single and Khalid’s first-ever collaboration with a Korean artist.
Developed by Musicow in partnership with Roc Nation, “Something Special” was released under FANDOM. This advances the platform’s mission to redefine how artists and fans connect worldwide through interactive experiences. It follows FANDOM’s acclaimed January release of “Two Car Garage” by Jon Bellion and Swae Lee.
