Actor Ahn Hyo-seop and multi-platinum artist Khalid have teamed up on the global single ‘Something Special.’
‘Something Special,’ due May 22, fuses K-pop and U.S. R&B in a cross-cultural collaboration. Major streaming platforms worldwide are already offering pre-saves ahead of the release.
Ahn Hyo-seop broadened his repertoire with voice work in Netflix’s animated series ‘K-pop Demon Hunters,’ voicing Jin-woo, leader of the Lion Boys. The new character arc drew attention from fans around the world.
Following appearances at the Academy Awards and the Met Gala, he has maintained a busy global schedule, continually experimenting with storytelling across genres, platforms and languages.
With the SBS drama ‘Sold Out Again Today’ airing now, the single is a meaningful global collaboration that stretches cultural and genre boundaries—and a special gift to the fans who have supported him worldwide.
Khalid also marks his first official single collaboration with a Korean artist on this project. The R&B star, known for global hits like ‘Location,’ ‘Talk’ and ‘Better,’ contributes his signature emotive vocals and international reach to the song.
