Published on 2014/12/27 | Source

The singer-songwriter Sin Hae-cheol's posthumous two-part book and compilation album "Reboot Yourself" were released on Wednesday, the same day Sin made his debut 26 years ago.

The book is a collection of essays, articles and unpublished writings. The first part tells his personal story as a singer. The second includes his critical writings on political and social issues.

The book also includes letters of condolence by family and friends, including singer Seo Taiji.

"Sin's wife Yoon Won-hee found writings on his computer which seemed intended for publication", said Park Young-shin, an editor at publisher Munhakdongne. "We hardly made any changes and arranged the pieces by topic and period".

A limited edition of 2,500 copies of the compilation album was sold out online the day of its release.

The album, consisting of four CDs, contains a total of 50 songs including some unreleased songs such as "Pink Monster", the last song Sin wrote before he died in October.
