'Falling Blossoms'

is the second single by the South Korean artists Kim Hee-chul and Min Kyung-hoon, the duo who is known as Universe Cowards . Their stage name is a mix of Heechul's nickname 'Universe Star' and Buzz's song 'Coward'.

Background and release



The single is released a year after the success of their first collaboration and is part of Knowing Bros music video competition, released alongside Kim Young-chul's "Andenayon" and Kang Ho-dong's "I Kick My Luck Away".

Min Kyung-hoon wrote the lyrics to "Falling Blossoms" with his Buzz bandmates Yoon Woo-hyun and Shin Joon-ki.

Reception



'Billboard' described it as "soft pop-rock tune that grows to a soaring, emotional cacophony" and complimented how their music video was one of the most inclusive music videos South Korea's seen in some time.

In November, Kim Hee-chul and Min Kyung-hoon were again nominated for Best Rock Song at the 10th Melon Music Awards, which they later won on December 1, making them the only artist to win the award two years in a row.

Music video



Min acts as the head of the family in lieu of his father and developmentally disabled older brother, portrayed by Kim, but runs into trouble with gang members while trying to help his mother (Park Mi-sun) and brother. The gang beats Kim up in front of his teacher (Fromis 9's Roh Ji-sun) to get to Min. Min successfully carries out revenge after he was berated by their mother for his failure to protect Kim. As the gang leader, played by Lee Sang-Min tried to lure Min into an alleyway as an attempt of murder, it was Kim who receives the blow instead after he read the message on Min's phone, leaving the gang leader in disbelief as he ran away. Min later found a Dying Kim on the alleyway, with Kim handing over a heartful letter he wrote to Min before he succumbed to his wound. A tearful Min then sat dejectedly beside his now-deceased brother, while holding his hand. The accompanying music video was directed by Super Junior's Shindong.
