Scon, The Return of a Singer-Songwriter Who Records Daily Life in Melodies

Someone is strumming a guitar by a cafe window where Earl Grey fragrance fills the air. The melody that flows out like organizing a complex day is simple yet lasting. If there's an artist who captures these moments in music? This is where Scon's story begins.

Singer-songwriter Scon records life's small emotions in song. His music doesn't throw grand messages. Instead, it approaches naturally like confiding to a close friend. Having built his skills by writing lyrics and composing for major artists like Super Junior's Ryeowook's 'Blue Bird' and Kangta's 'Eyes on you', he's now finding his own unique color.

Scon's Story

It's difficult to define Scon's musical identity in one word. While based on indie and folk, sometimes pop's familiarity stands out more, sometimes acoustic's warmth is more prominent. His vocals contain both Ed Sheeran's friendliness and Park Hyo-shin's depth simultaneously.

Scon is building his position in the indie music scene by participating in the 'bright #13' project album alongside Woshi, Yeon Jung, Kim Neuk, and MODN. His participation in Mint Paper label's compilation album shows that his music is also recognized by fellow musicians. This album, where he participated with the song 'Horizon', was a stage showcasing new artists' potential, and Scon was at its center.

Scon's appearance at the 'Singing Playground' is even more vivid. Through 11 videos, 67,000 people stopped in front of his music. It's not just a simple number. Each play represents moments that seeped into someone's day.

Originals — Stories Written Directly by Him

To know Scon's true colors, you must listen to his original compositions first.

"Unrequited Love (Unrequited Love)"

The moment the first chord rings out, exciting yet painful emotions rush in. In this song about feelings toward a close friend, Scon's vocals are cautious. His technique of naturally handling high notes with head voice rather than forcefully pulling them up stands out. The arrangement, which reconstructed an originally band-composed song with just an acoustic guitar, further highlights the song's intimate emotions.

"Congratulations on the new song release ~~~~🎉" Like @oceangwak's comment, fans are cheering for Scon's new beginning. 11,000 people heard this confession, and each probably recalled their own unrequited love.

"Earl Grey"

This song's origin story is simple but deep. Earl Grey drunk at a cafe on a day when his mind was complicated, capturing that moment's tranquility in music. The process itself of worries from the studio being transformed through the space of a cafe into one complete song is Scon-like storytelling.

"I heard this song on Spoon before, then lost it and it's been circling in my head forever" @goodsp12's comment proves this song's power. A melody that can't be forgotten once heard—that's the condition of good pop songwriting.

"Cheeze"

The earnest desire to restore a childhood friend's lost smile permeates the entire song. Like the title, it captures the wish to return to those pure times, like that moment when taking photos.

There's a subtle difference between the original and the Nonol version. The highly polished studio sound transforms into rawer emotion in the live performance. This version, chosen by 14,000 people, has something more truthful because it's not perfect.

"Can't wait to go"

The video title "Guitar playing is crisp, so crisp" says it all. From the intro played with fingerstyle technique, it strikes the heart. In this song expressing straightforward feelings toward someone who appears even in dreams, Scon's playing skills shine.

Like the lyrics about never hiding his feelings, Scon's vocals are also honest. The dynamic of starting whisper-like in the verse then changing to a confident voice in the chorus perfectly matches the song's emotional line.

Special Works

'Summer42', completed in collaboration with IINA, shows Scon's new attempts. The charm of harmony different from solo work delivers summer's excitement more vividly.

'Don't do that', presented under another identity called 'Skonong', proves how wide Scon's musical spectrum is. The unique approach based on creative pansori experience stands out.

Stories Completed in Full Version

"The afternoon when the sun in the middle of the sky gradually enters between the apartments" - Is there a more poetic way to introduce Scon than this? This full version video, chosen by 14,000 people, is a perfect setlist to experience his musical world all at once.

As comments like "Scon fighting~~!! Great voice~~^^" @sunheekim3280, "Min-su! Your voice is charming♡" @ajang317 prove, Scon's charm shines even brighter in raw live performances rather than finished recordings.

His recent participation in Mint Paper's 'bright #13' project shows what position Scon holds in the indie music scene. It means he has entered a stage where he's creating a musical vision together with fellow musicians, beyond simply singing personal emotions.

Amid the rapid growth of the virtual content market, news of Naver's investment in SCON-related startups is also noteworthy. In an era where the boundaries between music and technology are blurring, Scon too will be exploring new possibilities.

Scon's music has no completed narrative. Instead, there's the authenticity of a diary written anew each day. From the excitement of unrequited love, the comfort of a cup of Earl Grey, to longing for friends. He records moments anyone might have experienced once in his own language.
