I especially like the first, the third, and the last one.
In the third one, there’s a female voice that sounds a lot like Ailee… although it could also be Lyn, since they have a similar tone.
I wonder how many people know that in 2009, Wheesung collaborated with Korean Air to create the music and lyrics for five commercials promoting tourism from Korea to the US. Five completely different styles.

Keeping myself locked away inside, a few awkward lines that I had clumsily written began to flow from my lips, carried away by the rhythm before I even knew it.
Imaginations coming alive to the sound of a melody. Everything in my memories has now become my work.
Another one of the last songs Wheesung wrote and recorded with his friend Antik was “Movin’ On,” which contains many autobiographical lines...

"What could I possibly compare
to the joy of playing my thoughts
with the only voice I have?"
"When I was very young,
I was quite different, even for my age.
Everything I did
seemed to stand out,
and I could never fit in anywhere.
Talking to myself
was the only game
I truly enjoyed."
@optiimalz @Will_rnb_lover But in terms of versatility and musicianship there’s no comparison. If you call yourself an “R&B lover,” I challenge you to ask Koreans who has been more influential to the Korean R&B and rap industry. Few people in K-pop have been as talented as Wheesung. Sorry for the intrusion
@optiimalz @Will_rnb_lover Call me when K.Will writes or composes his own songs, can make songs like “Were Not Crazy,” “Love Seat,” or “Savannah Woman,” and has been involved in the creation of as many projects (Jang Nara, BIGBANG, SNSD, MAMAMOO, Ailee). Vocally? K.Will He may be better.
I haven't abandoned this account. I've just realized I don't like K-pop enough to keep tweeting about it. I was always here for Wheesung. What I loved was his music and him as an artist, not K-pop as a genre. If there's ever a posthumous release or any news about him,I'll be back
Looks like the producer who had one of the last songs Wheesung worked on—and who said on Naver Cafe that he would try to release it if he got permission, even though it was only a demo—ended up going nowhere...:(
I've had this photo saved for years. It was originally posted on Kim Tae Woo's fan cafe, and I think it was taken when he and Ailee visited Wheesung while he was serving in the military.
Kim Do Hoon shared a story from behind the scenes: "A few years ago, when I was invited to appear on Immortal Songs, Wheesung was going through a very difficult period and was struggling a lot. I felt I couldn't appear on Immortal Songs without him, so I declined the invitation
I also remember what Mamamoo said—if I recall correctly, it was Solar—thanking Wheesung for singing with them and supporting them when they didn't even know whether they would debut or not. Wheesung understood music in a way few people do; it was his language.
After watching K.Will's performance, all I can do is say thank you. But I especially want to thank Kim Doo Hoon. His words, and how heartbroken he looked, showed just how much affection and respect he had for Wheesung. You simply can't think of one without thinking of the other.
There is also so much of Wheesung's work with him, and with many other composers and companies, that most people don't even know about. He was always devoted to music above all else.
