FORESTELLA - THE FORESTELLA

On April 9, 2020, Forestella released a digital single, a remake of the song "Nella Fantasia", a more traditional classical crossover song. This was followed by another digital single "Together" (함께라는 이유), which falls into the pop genre, and an accompanying music video. "Together" was composed for them by the songwriter and producer Hwang Sung-je, who has composed or arranged for notable singers and K-pop groups including BoA, Shinhwa, Girls' Generation, Sung Si-kyung and Yoon Jong-shin. In August they were awarded the National Assembly's Culture Sports and Tourism Committee Award at the Newsis Hallyu Culture Daesang.They then released another two digital singles: "Words from the Wind" (바람이 건네준 말) and "Ties" (연(緣)). Although the members have always been actively involved in the production and arrangement of their releases, "Words from the Wind" was the first time they were officially credited as co-composers.

 

Beginning in January 2021, a 12-episode "All Star" edition of Phantom Singer was aired and Forestella were among the returning teams as the winners of the second season. They then released their third full-length album The Forestella digitally on April 19, while the physical album was released two weeks later. The four digital singles released the previous year were also included in the album. The album also included a Korean-language remake of Serge Lama's hit "Je suis malade"; they had covered the song in its original French that year on Phantom Singer All Star and earned praise from Lama himself.

 

According to statistics compiled by the Korea Performing Arts Box Office Information System (KOPIS), Forestella ranked first in ticket sales within the "classical and opera" category for the first half of 2021. Despite multiple postponements and some of the dates of their Nella Fantasia: Time Travel and The Forestella tours having to be spread out over several months due to COVID-19 restrictions, three of the concerts ranked in the top 5 best-selling concerts within that category. On August 2, it was announced that the group signed with Beat Interactive after terminating their contract with their previous management two months earlier, although the individual members remain under their respective agencies for their solo activities. However their previous management would remain in charge of The Forestella tour as per their agreement since it had been scheduled prior to the contract termination.

 

In the 2021 Brand of the Year Awards, which took place on September 7, they were named Crossover Group of the Year.
