Korean artist Dawn has released his single “Dear My Light,” his first song after signing with At Area earlier this year.
"I think many people will be amused when they first listen to this song, because it's different from the music I’ve released in the past. It's an acoustic song, and I focused on my vocals rather than my performance,” said Dawn.

He added, “I put a lot of effort into the lyrics to send the message I wanted to tell, so I recommend everyone to listen closely to the lyrics."
Co-written by Dawn together with GroovyRoom, Kwaca, Hwang Yoo Bin, and HA:TFELT; “Dear My Light” is about a beautiful time that was shared between two people.
Known for being both a rapper and singer; Dawn sings over an acoustic guitar, showcasing his innate ability to craft deeply personal narratives into heartfelt lyrics.
He sings; “Even if our shining memories disappear, I’m fine. You know you were my everything, I was happy enough to forget myself. It’s okay if I lose everything, as long as I can see you dazzling.”
"Needless to say, Dawn is a fashion icon and well-known for his visuals. However, it feels like most people only see the outer part of Dawn. He is a musically talented artist with a wonderful voice, and we look forward to presenting the music we are building to the world,” said GroovyRoom.
Dawn (formerly E’Dawn) debuted in K-pop boy band Pentagon in 2016. He left the group in 2018 and signed up with Psy’s P. Nation.
He left the label and signed up with At Area, GroovyRoom's label.
