This project is a song by a singer who does not belong to JYP Entertainment. <Corny Love Song> is the album released as its first song. Trot new singer Yoyomi was selected as a singer after an open audition and was honored as the first guest member.[43] This song was named by Park Jin-young as the genre of 'Con-trot' that combines American country music and Korean trot music. It contains the melody and lyrics of a pure and lyrical sensibility, which is the common point of the two. The accompaniment was recorded only with basic band instruments, and all of the sound equipment completely reproduced the analog sensibility using vacuum tube microphones and preamps used in the 1970s.[44] The music video features Park Jin-young, who transformed into a bandmaster, guitarist and composer, and Yoyomi, an exclusive singer who has a sad love story in 7080's music room <N'est Ci Bon>. The visual beauty of a friendly and cozy atmosphere gives us a special memory trip.[45] This M/V stimulates both fun and sensitivity to the composition of old youth films. Park Jin-young's petty acting and Yoyomi's sensibility through songs are in harmony. Park Jinyoung completed the content by producing well connected music, visual concept, and M/V story.[46]
