Kihyun's [BORDERLINE] is an album that moves forward, trusting in his own instincts and choices. Between hazy certainty and clear choice, between familiar anxiety and newly opened freedom. This album captures the moments when Kihyun, standing on that boundary, eventually grasps his own rhythm. Therefore, while it is a record of wandering, it also sounds like a record of the present, now clearer after passing through that time.
If his first EP [YOUTH] was an album looking back on his purest days and the emotions within them, [BORDERLINE] sees the current Kihyun step more directly into the center of the questions surrounding him. Rather than tracing memories of youth, it is closer to him creating his own path on a road without answers. In the process, the rock-centered sound has expanded significantly, and Kihyun's vocals oscillate between refreshingness and explosiveness, as well as delicacy and directness, revealing his current style more clearly.
- Choices that become clearer on a path with no right answer
The title track, 'So Good,' most clearly demonstrates the direction this EP is heading. It captures the moment when, amidst voices constantly forcing answers upon oneself, one ultimately decides to trust one's own instincts and choices. Rather than making a heavy declaration of that resolve, the song pushes it forward with a light yet solid energy. It is not the story of an unwavering person, but of someone who, after wavering, eventually leans back toward themselves. Consequently, the song speaks of freedom without being empty, and expresses confidence without being exaggerated.
The music video also clearly demonstrates the direction of this song. Images such as ruins, a half-destroyed spaceship, empty canteens, and collapsed debris reveal a state of lack and confusion, while giant clothing peaks and pinwheel towers symbolically amplify these emotions. Ultimately, it progresses to a scene of singing freely, showing that the liberation spoken of in this song is not merely an escape, but a process of reclaiming one's sense of self.
- Kihyun's broadened spectrum centered on rock
The flow of this EP is also clear. The opening track, 'Borderline,' opens the album with a refreshing electric guitar riff and driving energy, while the title track, 'So Good,' steers that flow toward a more distinct direction of conviction. Following this, 'Stealin' Air' and 'Domino' maintain the tension by adding dynamic sounds and an urban mood, while 'Lazy Day' and 'Late Night Drive' create a sense of ease and liberation, as if taking a moment to catch one's breath. Finally, 'Howling' firmly binds the entire album together once again with explosive vocals and a strong emotional arc. Therefore, [BORDERLINE] is not an album that remains within a single sentiment, but rather is closer to a flow of emotions that becomes increasingly clear as it traverses the boundaries.
What is particularly impressive is the way he handles the rock sound. Rather than simply pushing forward with intense energy, he arranges refreshingness, speed, and lyricism differently in each track, naturally revealing the dimensionality of Kihyun's vocals. Thanks to this, this EP is closer to Kihyun showing a wider spectrum centered around rock, rather than Kihyun playing rock.
- The journey of finding myself, the process of recording its traces
The overarching impression of this album is that of a "journey of self-discovery." However, rather than pushing this journey forward as a grandiose narrative, it is viewed as a process of forging one's own path and recording its traces. It is a method of creating one's own path when there is no road, rather than following answers set by others. The persuasiveness of this EP stems precisely from this. It is not because the wavering has completely disappeared, but because an attitude of accepting even that wavering as part of oneself is naturally permeated throughout the album.
Therefore, [BORDERLINE] does not sound like an album meant merely to fill a void. Rather, it is an album that tells us more clearly what we have seen and what we have gone through during that time. It is a process of accepting the 'me' of today, rather than re-explaining 'myself.' In this EP, Kihyun unfolds that process through refreshing rock sounds, clear vocals, and the textures of honest emotions.
- An EP that most clearly shows Kihyun's present
Ultimately, [BORDERLINE] is not an album that merely repeats what Kihyun has done well. While building upon the emotional delicacy shown in his first EP [YOUTH], he moves forward this time with a broader sound and more direct energy. Disparate emotions such as wavering and certainty, wandering and freedom, and freshness and explosiveness collide and intertwine within a single album, and this process makes the Kihyun of today even clearer.
Within Monsta X, Kihyun is a vocalist who consistently establishes the team's solid center. This album reinterprets that familiar strength through the language of solo artist Kihyun. It is the voice of someone who has chosen their own path, one that cannot be explained solely by soaring high notes or solid vocal ability. [BORDERLINE] is the album that most clearly conveys where that very voice stands right now.

Kihyun's [BORDERLINE] is an album that moves forward, trusting in his own instincts and choices. Between hazy certainty and clear choice, between familiar anxiety and newly opened freedom. This album captures the moments when Kihyun, standing on that boundary, eventually grasps his own rhythm. Therefore, while it is a record of wandering, it also sounds like a record of the present, now clearer after passing through that time.
If his first EP [YOUTH] was an album looking back on his purest days and the emotions within them, [BORDERLINE] sees the current Kihyun step more directly into the center of the questions surrounding him. Rather than tracing memories of youth, it is closer to him creating his own path on a road without answers. In the process, the rock-centered sound has expanded significantly, and Kihyun's vocals oscillate between refreshingness and explosiveness, as well as delicacy and directness, revealing his current style more clearly.
- Choices that become clearer on a path with no right answer
The title track, 'So Good,' most clearly demonstrates the direction this EP is heading. It captures the moment when, amidst voices constantly forcing answers upon oneself, one ultimately decides to trust one's own instincts and choices. Rather than making a heavy declaration of that resolve, the song pushes it forward with a light yet solid energy. It is not the story of an unwavering person, but of someone who, after wavering, eventually leans back toward themselves. Consequently, the song speaks of freedom without being empty, and expresses confidence without being exaggerated.
The music video also clearly demonstrates the direction of this song. Images such as ruins, a half-destroyed spaceship, empty canteens, and collapsed debris reveal a state of lack and confusion, while giant clothing peaks and pinwheel towers symbolically amplify these emotions. Ultimately, it progresses to a scene of singing freely, showing that the liberation spoken of in this song is not merely an escape, but a process of reclaiming one's sense of self.
- Kihyun's broadened spectrum centered on rock
The flow of this EP is also clear. The opening track, 'Borderline,' opens the album with a refreshing electric guitar riff and driving energy, while the title track, 'So Good,' steers that flow toward a more distinct direction of conviction. Following this, 'Stealin' Air' and 'Domino' maintain the tension by adding dynamic sounds and an urban mood, while 'Lazy Day' and 'Late Night Drive' create a sense of ease and liberation, as if taking a moment to catch one's breath. Finally, 'Howling' firmly binds the entire album together once again with explosive vocals and a strong emotional arc. Therefore, [BORDERLINE] is not an album that remains within a single sentiment, but rather is closer to a flow of emotions that becomes increasingly clear as it traverses the boundaries.
What is particularly impressive is the way he handles the rock sound. Rather than simply pushing forward with intense energy, he arranges refreshingness, speed, and lyricism differently in each track, naturally revealing the dimensionality of Kihyun's vocals. Thanks to this, this EP is closer to Kihyun showing a wider spectrum centered around rock, rather than Kihyun playing rock.
- The journey of finding myself, the process of recording its traces
The overarching impression of this album is that of a "journey of self-discovery." However, rather than pushing this journey forward as a grandiose narrative, it is viewed as a process of forging one's own path and recording its traces. It is a method of creating one's own path when there is no road, rather than following answers set by others. The persuasiveness of this EP stems precisely from this. It is not because the wavering has completely disappeared, but because an attitude of accepting even that wavering as part of oneself is naturally permeated throughout the album.
Therefore, [BORDERLINE] does not sound like an album meant merely to fill a void. Rather, it is an album that tells us more clearly what we have seen and what we have gone through during that time. It is a process of accepting the 'me' of today, rather than re-explaining 'myself.' In this EP, Kihyun unfolds that process through refreshing rock sounds, clear vocals, and the textures of honest emotions.
- An EP that most clearly shows Kihyun's present
Ultimately, [BORDERLINE] is not an album that merely repeats what Kihyun has done well. While building upon the emotional delicacy shown in his first EP [YOUTH], he moves forward this time with a broader sound and more direct energy. Disparate emotions such as wavering and certainty, wandering and freedom, and freshness and explosiveness collide and intertwine within a single album, and this process makes the Kihyun of today even clearer.
Within Monsta X, Kihyun is a vocalist who consistently establishes the team's solid center. This album reinterprets that familiar strength through the language of solo artist Kihyun. It is the voice of someone who has chosen their own path, one that cannot be explained solely by soaring high notes or solid vocal ability. [BORDERLINE] is the album that most clearly conveys where that very voice stands right now.
