Jo Hyun-Jae recorded his CD for his fans so they have something to remember him by during the two years he is in the army.
On March 30, 2009 the two leading music websites in Korea, NAVER and Mnet, both reviewed JHJ’s CD. All 6 songs, the 3 sung by Hyun-Jae and the 3 instrumental, can be downloaded for 900 won each with 45 seconds free trial. So far this CD has been rated 5 stars (the maximum) by internet users.
“In ‘Words you said to me’, Jo Hyun-Jae’s deep and tender voice, coupled with the delicate music, subtle arrangement, and gentle rhythm, produce a classic narrative song.”
“The heart-rending lyrics of ‘Words you said to me’, perfectly matched by Jo Hyun-Jae’s unvarnished rich baritone, together with the elegant introductory music really warm our hearts. This song totally manifests Jo Hyun-Jae’s dynamic voice and musical talent.”
“Anyone who has ever experienced the pain of separation and who wants to forget that pain will find some solace when the piano notes start in ‘Like the wind by your side’. This song conveys a special feeling the way Jo Hyun-Jae renders it.”
The third song is called “I spread my dream in the sky”. This CD is Jo Hyun-Jae’s gift to his fans; he has put his heart and soul into it. It is definitely a collector’s item.

Many thanks, Mandalywith, for keeping us updated!
It is good that Hyun-Jae’s songs are now available to more people from more sources. He can now reach a greater audience and maybe also earn some well-deserved cash in these difficult times.
