Back in 2012 when Bang Yedam stepped on the stage of K-pop Star with a harmonica in his hand and his father accompanying him on guitar, I never pictured him as part of a YG act like Treasure. It always seemed like an odd fit, so when he eventually left the group it wasn’t too surprising. He seems right at home as a soloist, but maybe that’s just because that’s how we were introduced to him.
Miss You isn’t Yedam’s first solo track, but it’s his debut under new label GF Entertainment. Before we hear the title track of his upcoming album, he’s laid the groundwork with an emotive piano ballad. Miss You is quite pretty and Yedam’s voice is always something to look forward to. You can tell he put his heart into this and that sense of authenticity pulls you in even if the song itself feels a little rote.
More than anything, I’m curious how Yedam’s solo work will sound. A song like Miss You is fairly expected, but his tenure on K-pop Star revealed an artist equally at home on more rhythmic tracks. Now that we’ve been reacquainted with the passion of his voice, I’m excited for him to showcase his skills as a stage performer.

The Bias List // K-Pop Reviews & Discussion 
This is my boy. Me, I am one always cheering Yedam on, like a old mom softie. Kid is hella talented.
The song to me feels like a quick one to record and release without all the faff surrounding kpop idol group releases. Only piano and voice, recorded in few takes, video on a stage. Honest, heartfelt, real and present.
For me, it feels like the song positions Yedam to pivot into a boy version of the Younha world, as the singer-songwriter-musician on the ballad side of the K music universe. That side is just as big in Korea as the idol groups, but doesn’t get as much attention outside of Korea.
I say well done, Yedam! I am glad to hear your voice again on your own terms. Mid-8 for me. The bias score is high here.
