Describing the new single as quintessentially "Koyote-like," Shin Ji emphasized how the track aligns perfectly with their unique musical style.

Reflecting on their illustrious career, Shin Ji noted, "We may not have been a tempestuous force in the industry, but rather a gentle breeze. I believe that has been the key to our longevity."
Koyote burst onto the scene in 1998, captivating audiences with a string of sensational hits that include fan favorites such as "Sad dream," "Sadness," and "Disco king." The trio's unwavering commitment to their craft and ability to resonate with listeners have secured their place as one of the most revered acts in the dance music genre.
Despite juggling demanding individual schedules, the members of Koyote prioritize collaborative synergy, ensuring that they record new songs together in the studio. This collective approach allows them to bring out the best in each other and fosters the birth of innovative ideas that elevate their original tracks. Speaking of their latest single, Shin Ji shared her enthusiasm for the collaborative process, stating, "We thoroughly enjoyed working on this single. Recording together in the same place at the same time is truly transformative."
During the press conference, Koyote unveiled their new single through a captivating stage performance, offering fans a tantalizing glimpse into the dynamic choreography that accompanies "Wish." Kim Jong-min and Bbaek Ga took a moment to introduce the signature moves, playfully dubbing it the "fan" dance, as they gracefully moved their hands akin to the elegant blades of a fan.
With the 25th debut anniversary serving as a milestone achievement, Shin Ji expressed heartfelt gratitude to their dedicated fans, acknowledging their unwavering support as a driving force behind their longevity. She shared, "Our fans have aged with us over the past 25 years. This anniversary holds tremendous significance for us because we owe our continued presence in the industry to the unwavering support and love of the public."
Looking ahead, Koyote envisions an exciting future, one that embraces both their existing fanbase and a new generation of music enthusiasts. The trio remains committed to exploring fresh musical avenues while preserving the essence of their distinctive style. Shin Ji explained, "We aspire to expand our musical reach to younger audiences while staying true to ourselves. The contemplation of our future musical direction will remain a constant endeavor."
Amidst the celebratory atmosphere, Koyote eagerly anticipates their forthcoming concert in the United States, slated for next month.
