LOS ANGELES & SEOUL -- International star Ahn Hyo-seop and multi-platinum recording artist Khalid officially released their highly anticipated cross-market collaboration single “Something Special” earlier this week via FANDOM, now available on all major streaming platforms.
The track marks a significant milestone: Ahn Hyo-seop’s debut official single as a solo artist and Khalid’s first-ever collaboration with a Korean artist. Together, they deliver a genre-blending release that bridges the worlds of K-pop and U.S. R&B—two of the most influential forces shaping contemporary global music culture.
Produced by Woo “RAINSTONE” Rhee, known for his work on Wonder Girls’ “Nobody”, and co-produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Troy “R8DIO” Johnson, whose credits include Solange’s A Seat at the Table, “Something Special” offers a sleek and emotionally resonant sound that highlights the artistry and international appeal of both performers.
The single has already been registered on FANDOM and developed in partnership with Musicow and Roc Nation, advancing the platform’s mission to redefine the connection between artists, music, and fans worldwide. Through interactive fan experiences, exclusive participation opportunities, and new ways to support the artists they love, FANDOM continues to invite audiences deeper into the creative process.
Ahn Hyo-seop, globally recognized for his breakout role as “Jinu,” leader of demon boy band Saja Boys in Netflix’s animated phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters, joins forces with Grammy-nominated Khalid to bring this cross-cultural collaboration to life.
Musicow has confirmed that an official music video will be released in June, showcasing the unique chemistry between Ahn Hyo-seop and Khalid while visually amplifying the song’s collaborative spirit.
The release follows FANDOM’s acclaimed January collaboration “Two Car Garage” from Jon Bellion and Swae Lee, further establishing the platform as a hub for high-impact global collaborations and fan-driven music experiences.
“Something Special” is available now on all major streaming platforms. Additional fan engagement opportunities and exclusive content tied to the release will be announced via fndm.lnk.to/bio.
