CNBLUE’s Jung Yong-hwa and singer-songwriter Sunwoo Jung-a said it was destiny for them to team up for a collaborative album project.

Jung’s label FNC Entertainment on Wednesday revealed how Jung and Sunwoo came to collaborate.

“If I were to work with a female artist, I have always wanted to work with Sunwoo Jung-a,” Jung said. “I vaguely thought I wanted to do music with Jung and within a month, I received a call from him and I thought that it was meant to be -- destiny.”

Jung and Sunwoo’s first collaborative EP includes two songs: “Hello” and “Empathy.” “Hello” was composed by Jung for Sunwoo, while “Empathy” was written by Sunwoo for Jung. The duo wrote the lyrics of the two songs together.

The collaborative EP is set to be released Friday.
