Remember Lee Seung Hwan's "Hwantastic Project", featuring the first song called, "Heart Disease"?

Well incase you don't know or you forgot, here is a brief overview

What is Hwantastic Project?

Dream Factory Club (founded by Lee Seung Hwan) will partner up with Fluxus Music to promote Lee Seung Hwan's "Hwantastic Project." This project is for Lee Seung Hwan's 20th anniversary since his debut, and will showcase his songs from the past. This project's first work is a song from his 8th album titled "Heart Disease" and it was reinterpreted by artists MC Sniper, Outsider and Horan (Clazziquai).

"Heart Disease" was a hit, ranking highly in various music charts. Today, the project's second work called, "Dunk Shoot," was released and this time it was sung by 2AM's Jokwon and Whale. This song is originally from Lee Seung Hwan's third album called, "My Story," and it was a hit song in the past.

Whale, the female vocalist from W&Whale, is said to have great vocals. How good? Well artists such as DBSK, Wheesung and Fany in the past have chosen her as a musician that they want to work with. I think thats convincing enough, don't you think?

This song was remade by producer Bang Si Hyuk (who also did "Heart Disease") while 8eight's Baek Chan was in charge of the melody and the lyrics.

As you will see from listening below, this song has a completely different feel from the original one.

my ears were battling as to which was the song with jo kwon reminds me of; it was between geri halliwell’s mi chico latino or madonna’s la isla bonita because all of ‘em shares it’s mexican appeal. but it was the latter—the line from 0:46-0:50 then 0:55-0:59. tbh, it sounds like a mash-up of variety of old but familiar american songs. i’m not hatin, i’m just statin.

The Fluxus artists are all so amazing. I’m a big fan of them.


Not sure if any ALLKPOP writers will read this but you guys should seriously do a featured article on the Fluxus artists. Clazziquai, W&Whale;, WINTERPLAY, My Aunt Mary, Loveholics, etc.


How is it that one label can have so many talented artists?! They deserve more recognition than what they’re already getting.


Good music should be listened to once in a while. The artists from Fluxus Music are a bunch of talented singers/groups that everyone should definitely check out ^^

The song is really catchy, it has like a reggae feel but not too much to scare away non reggae listeners, very catchy too. I LOVE Whale so glad to hear her voice.

The beginning of the Dunk Shoot sounds similar to Black Eyed Peas’ Electric City. I mean, I’m just sayin’. I love Jo Kwon though. :D
