[Sports Today Reporter Lim Si-ryeong] Singer Miss Kim is set to release a single featuring two title tracks and will begin a full promotional cycle.

On the 29th at noon, Miss Kim will drop the single album \”Love’s Licorice\” across major streaming platforms. The release features dual title tracks — the title cut \”Love’s Licorice\” and \”Side-Poke\” — and is designed to showcase the range of Miss Kim’s artistic personality.

The lead track, \”Love’s Licorice,\” leans on the Korean idiom \”yakbang-ui gamcho\” (the apothecary’s licorice) to articulate Miss Kim’s pledge to be an indispensable presence in listeners’ lives. The song doubles as a fan dedication, conveying gratitude to those who have stood by her.

The second title, \”Side-Poke,\” marks a bold musical turn: an upbeat EDM-trot hybrid that pairs slick, rapid beats with Miss Kim’s signature, emotive delivery. The combination aims to ignite K-trot excitement across generations.

Built around the playful hook \”Who poked whose side first?,\” \”Side-Poke\” offers a satirical look at modern relationships — how passion can cool and partners shift blame — all framed through the wry wisdom of older generations.

An agency spokesperson said, \”This album captures Miss Kim’s sincere emotional core while showcasing a contemporary sensibility. With this single release, expect Miss Kim to make another notable impact on South Korea’s trot scene.\”

Known for her soothing, honeyed voice, Miss Kim has been a frequent presence on broadcasts. With the release of \”Love’s Licorice\” and \”Side-Poke,\” she plans to hit festival stages this spring and continue delivering the kind of passionate performances that have earned her a reputation as a queen of live events.

A former contestant on KBS’s \”National Singing Contest,\” Miss Kim won public admiration with her powerful, clear vocals on \”Miss Trot 3.\” Recently, KBS’s \”Human Theater\” chronicled her circuitous path to stardom — from helping her parents on the farm to becoming a singer — a story that moved many viewers.
