In a recent interview with Star News, Shin Hyesung said, “The ballad genre can allow everyone to relate to it at any time, and although dance pop is the trend now, people who like dance pop can relate to ballads too.”

He added with optimism, “Although we’re facing an economy decline now and ballads are probably going to be even less popular, but since it’s a genre that people do like, as long as we work hard on it, ballads will come back into popularity again.”

Fans are all looking forward to see how this battle between idols and balladeers turns out.
