The order of the four

No. Song
1 Just Ordinary
2 Little star
3 Curtain Call
4 At Least My Heart

It starts on a powerless day

The opener, 'Just Ordinary', holds the feeling of days when he seemed the most worthless thing in the world — when no matter how he struggled, all he confirmed was that he could do nothing.

He added this: he does not think he was the only one to feel it, and if you set your own feeling of that time beside his, the song will land closer.

Opening a session at its lowest point is a choice. Usually a bright song opens the door; this session goes the other way.

The place where his own film ends

The note on the third song, 'Curtain Call', reads: "My first film came to an end. As the credits rolled and the curtain call sounded, I came to write this song."

A curtain call is when the performers come back out to bow after a show is over. It is the time that exists once more, after the end.

So this is not a song about an ending but about what comes after one. He also wrote that he hopes listeners, when their own film reaches its last scene, take from this song the strength to begin the next.

A cold voice carrying a warm heart

Jeon Do-eul began putting his voice into the world with the 2021 single 'Sea'. He says he wants to be a singer who carries a warm heart in a cold voice.

The last song, 'At Least My Heart', came from the feeling of always running toward somewhere far whose location you do not even know — and the thought that you may have left that time, or that person, at a place you passed.

It starts on a powerless day, passes the place where the credits roll, and ends recalling what was left behind.

Where this was filmed

Gyeongin Children's Park in Sinwol-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul — a playground that borders a middle school.

At the small library beside the park, passing residents gathered in twos and threes to listen, the crew wrote.

Today, like this

Play the four in order. The choice to start at the lowest point is the first thing to check.

Then play 'Curtain Call' again on its own. It is a song about what comes after the end, not the end.

Last, play the first song once more. After all four, 'Just Ordinary' sounds different.

A new song has arrived at the playground today.
