Eleven-year-old singer and content creator Seo Eve rapidly rose to stardom with her debut digital single “Malatanghulu” released in April which went viral on Instagram and TikTok. Seo proved she had the talent to be a singer by writing the lyrics to her songs and choreographing her dance, belying her age. “I wrote the lyrics based on my school life.
‘Malatanghulu’ is about asking someone I like to take me out on a hot pot date as hot pot is one of the most popular foods among students these days,” said Seo in an interview with The Korea Herald. The storyline of the debut single continues in her second digital single “Kungkungdda” released on July 19. “In my new single, I ask someone I like to play the ‘kungkungdda’ game with me.
The word ‘kungkung’ is similar to how we describe our heart going pit-a-pat in Korean so I used that word on purpose,” explained Seo. “I also came up with the choreography for the song in just 30 seconds. I tried to match the choreography to the lyrics.
” Yunho of the popular K-pop boy group Ateez featured in the music video of Seo’s latest single. “I thought he would be perfect to play the role of a popular student in school so my agency contacted him for this collaboration. I was so grateful for his help,” said Seo.
“It felt unreal working with Yunho because I used to see him performing on Instagram and TikTok. I was really surprised by how handsome he is in person,” Seo said excitedly, like any girl her age..
