However, in January 1997, the team all of a sudden wrapped up their musical activities with a farewell album. In October the same year, Kim Dong-ryul formed a project group called “Carnival” with Lee Jeok, then a member of “Panic”. Displaying a perfect harmony between the low tone of Kim’s voice and Lee Jeok’s high key, the project team received a great response with songs like “That’s how it was then” and “A goose’s dream”. In 1998, Kim Dong-ryul made his solo debut with the album ‘The Shadow Of Forgetfulness’. The title song of Kim’s first solo album “Consideration” was a sad ballad in a jazzy style that played a leading role in bringing about a ballad resurgence to the local pop music scene. In April of 1999, Kim flew to the Berkley College of Music in Boston. Although he was studying in the US, Kim released his 2nd and 3rd albums during his some time off from school. In April of 2004, Kim returned to Korea from his studies and released his 4th album, entitled “Revealing my true heart”.
