During Khalid’s participation in ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters,’ lending his song ‘Lovely’ for the soundtrack, he would have found a great collaborator, Ahn Hyo-seop, who, despite being best known for his acting talent, is also a great singer.
Now, this project will mark the actor’s debut as a soloist and the R&B singer’s first collaboration with a Korean artist, demonstrating that big times for music are coming soon.
