K-pop artist Kim Jae-joong released his 20th anniversary album, “Flower Garden,” along with a music video for the title track, “Glorious Days.”
This is Jae-joong’s first full-length album released in South Korea in two years since “Born Gene” in 2022. It contains a wide variety of genres, including rock, R&B, and ballad.
“Flower Garden” is his fourth studio album, which he had been working on since the establishment of his new agency, iNKODE, and is credited with the lyric writing on the majority of the tracks.

The album’s title represents each of the years Kim Jae-joong has been active as an artist as it takes multiple colorful flowers in bloom to make a full garden. With “Flower Garden,” Jae-joong shares his 20-year journey with his fans.
The album has 14 tracks, including the pre-release single “I Am U,” which came out on June 11, and a CD-only track titled “201208,” which was entirely written, composed, and arranged by Jae-joong.
The album also includes two major collaborations: Moonbyul of MAMAMOO, who is featured on “The Light,” and Japanese rock star MIYAVI, who is featured on “Dopamine.”
