Kim Bada of ‘Art of Parties’ lent his weight [to the song] as a composer. The solid drum line and rendition of synthesizer on guitar backing gives the sound of a rock ballad a lively vibe through the incorporation of pop’s softness. With this, the protagonist of the song, who has a clear yet husky voice, combined with a strong foundation in singing ability, performs what one can call an excellent piece of vocal acting while walking a fine line between the sweetness of ballad and the wildness of rock.
The single One Kiss, is from his first solo album. If you think about his career as a singer, you can’t say it is not late. But if you consider his solo concert slated at the end of this month, the timing couldn’t get more appropriate. With this, he has presented JYJ fans a single that is full of rock sounds and serves as a fun comparison point to Kim Junsu’s album that puts emphasis on contemporary R&B sound. It is a high-riding piece of music that enlarges his career as an artist and brings a diversity of colors to the group JYJ.
Translation Note:
1. Art of Parties is a newly launched rock band by Kim Bada
2. Just in case you complain about the score 3.5, I ask you to compare it to the scores that other artists’ songs have received from IZM. (Link) This is a very high score they have given! And for your information, IZM is one of the most credible music review sites in South Korea.

Nice~~~
I’m so happy!!!
Thanks for posting. Nice, and to the point. I like.
IZM gave 3.5, I gave One Kiss 3.5 billion. Case closed.
Nice review, but the score 3,5 out of what scale?
out of 5
it’s high enough…
As shown in that list, 3.5 is the highest score the site has given.
nice , i want to know more, reviews from South Korean music experts. 3.5 is a good score and a good start. remember this is his firts solo album, and it’s a great transformation.
what/who is IZM? Is it a music critic? hmmm a 3.5; for Jaejoong, seriously?!?
I checked the link and there were a couple of songs/artist with the same review /rank result…. so does this mean the newbies in Kpop are at par wih THE Kim Jaejoong? really now…..
It’s not an idol ranker ^______^; but ranker of the best of the best musicians in the Korean industry
haha, before you enrage and killing your poor pc screen, take a look dear, the other singer with the same rank with JJ is veteran who recognized by the public for their talent. gah, he’s in the same rank with Nell and clazziquai for god sake..
even big mama who famous of their vocal only got score 3. JJ is the only idol who got high score ^^
i see infinte h and yang yoseob got score 3, though their songs are pretty good. so i think the critics have a high taste.
be proud!! LOL
Congratulation Jaejoong. Who insists to bring out quality music even in digital realm.
Watching HMV goes bankruptcy & so many recent music / songs roughly produced,
proven us main stream pop songs / idol effect are dying.
JYJ pls keep inspired & hopefully all the albums/ digital sales gain reasonable profit ,
keep the production survive at least.
yea, from what I can tell, it seems to be a pretty respectable rating…..i dont see alot of kpop idol groups ranking high up there
