Even in chaos, can we find beauty?
“Chaos is not the end, but the beginning of beauty.”
On May 19, Kim Jaejoong released his latest EP album "Beauty in Chaos."
The album ‘Beauty in Chaos’ sings of the clash of emotions that surge deep inside, the hope and beauty that bloom in the end even in the midst of endless conflict. Each track contains a cross-section of emotions like a piece. Anger, despair, fear, and the courage and love that bloom within them. All emotions intertwine and eventually create a deeper and more intense beauty.
The title track 'ROCK STAR' shows the passion hidden deep inside and the longing for freedom. It contains the image of someone who has overcome a past of hurt in a quiet and cold world, now regaining their own name and running toward their true dream. It conveys a passionate message that even the imperfect appearance hidden behind the mask is the real you, and that you can become a 'my own Rockstar' that shines even brighter when you are with someone.

The musical spectrum also goes beyond simple genre distinctions, from intense rock sounds, dreamy electronica, to soft rock ballads — various genres come together to express ‘chaos.’ However, all these fragments of sound are headed toward one message.
“We find our true selves in chaos.”
‘Beauty in Chaos’ is a cry to us who are more true because we are not perfect. This album delicately captures the fleeting light that blooms in imperfection, and the beauty of that moment.
