Leader of the Band 'Algenity' and talented singer-songwriter Park Kyung-goo passed away on the 7th. He was 38 years old. The news of his passing was officially announced through personal channels, and the specific cause of death has been kept private at the request of the family.
Park Kyung-goo was a musician with a unique sensibility and lyrical style, possessing a strong fan base in the indie scene. He left a deep impression on the public as a 'musical partner' who played a crucial role in shaping the musical world of singer Jang Beom-jun. A high school classmate of Jang Beom-jun, he contributed to the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of all tracks on Jang Beom-jun's first solo album, enhancing the album's quality.
His artistic sensibility is reflected throughout the tracks, including the title song 'Difficult Woman', 'A Person Who Fits the Word Love', 'Sinpung Station Exit 2 Blues', 'Scary One-Sided Love', and 'Fallen Leaves Ending', which were all well-loved at the time. Even after the first album, he continued to collaborate with Jang Beom-jun, creating masterpieces that delicately captured the essence of everyday life, such as 'Between Hongdae and Konkuk University', 'I Can't Sleep', and 'Becoming the Summer Rain'.
Fans are deeply saddened by the sudden news of his passing. In particular, last March, when Jang Beom-jun released his fourth album and wrote, "I wish Kyung-goo good health," Park Kyung-goo personally commented, "I’m healthy", which has resurfaced, adding to the sorrow. Fans are leaving messages of remembrance on the post, honoring the musical legacy he left behind.
Park Kyung-goo was a true creator who wrote sincere music in his own language while moving between the stage and the studio during his lifetime. The beautiful melodies and lyrics he left in this world will forever be remembered in many listeners' playlists. We sincerely wish for the repose of his soul.
