Originally a competitor on Super Star K 2 (슈퍼스타K2), singer-songwriter Kim Ji Soo has since been tied to Pastel Music. He released his first digital single, Chocolate Drive, through the label on April 7 and included it on the self-titled EP, 김지수, that followed on May 17. The EP included a collaboration with Yozoh, 수수께끼, and was promoted with a music video for track 너무 그리워.
