Opening the Doors marks the highly anticipated debut album of guitarist Sungbin Cho, offering a powerful introduction to his artistry.

 

The album is a tour de force of Sungbin’s musical character — his refined yet fearless virtuosity, and his unmistakable emotional warmth. Every track reflects his desire to communicate directly and honestly with listeners, inviting them into a space where sound, colour, and storytelling intertwine.

​

A defining element of the album is the instrument itself: a guitar crafted by his wife, luthier Yun Young Shin. Their collaboration adds a deeply personal layer to the project. The instrument’s clarity, depth, and responsiveness allow Sungbin to explore the entire timbral range of the guitar with rare intimacy. His natural ear for shaping line and gesture brings out the instrument’s most vocal musical qualities. Here, virtuosity is not a show of force, but a means of communication.

​

Opening the Doors will be released under the prestigious Deux-Elles label, with a series of digital singles paving the way toward the full album. Each release will reveal a new aspect of Sungbin’s sound world, gradually opening the door into the musical landscape he has crafted with such care.
