BIG OCEAN and DAY6’s Young K release empowering new single ‘SLOW’ featuring sign language

BIG OCEAN is the world’s first idol group involving hard-of-hearing members.

BIG OCEAN, the world’s first idol group composed of hard-of-hearing members, has returned with their third single, titled “SLOW.” 

Released on August 11, the track features a collaboration with Young K from the popular K-Pop band DAY6. The music video for “SLOW” is particularly significant as it showcases the members signing the lyrics, adding a profound and inclusive element to the project.

The timing of the release was deliberately chosen by BIG OCEAN's agency to coincide with the closing of the 2024 Paris Olympics and the lead-up to the Paralympics. 

The agency stated that this date was selected to emphasize their support for athletes, regardless of their medal achievements, and to send encouragement for their future endeavors.

"SLOW" carries an uplifting message, emphasizing that even if progress is slow, moving forward together can lead to greater accomplishments. 

The collaboration between BIG OCEAN and Young K not only highlights the growing inclusivity within the music industry but also serves as a beacon of hope and unity for audiences worldwide.
