Cue the tissues and turn up the volume—Ravi.O The Assessini and Jiwon have just released “Abyss of Love,” a genre-blending, heartstring-tugging track that might just be your next favorite cry-anthem. What started as a chance interview on SBS MegaTV’s Que Lunes turned into a powerful creative spark, uniting a former Latin pop heartthrob and a K-pop idol in transition.

Ravi.O, known for his roots in Universal Music Latin and collaborations with legends like Nicky Jam, has long danced between cultures. Born to Italian and Puerto Rican parents and now living out his K-entertainment dreams as a TV host, Ravi.O continues his mission of musical diplomacy—this time, through pain, passion, and partnership.

“With a broken heart and no answers, I recorded this with tears running down my face”, Ravi.O admits about the track.

Enter: Jiwon, ex-member of K-pop girl group Botopass. After stepping away from the idol spotlight, she wasn’t planning a comeback—until Ravi.O showed up.

The result is a raw, emotional ballad that melds Latin pop drama with Korean melodic depth. Think: NSYNC meets Dreamcatcher in a Seoul café at midnight.

“This is the first time I wrote both the lyrics and the melody myself”, says Jiwon. “It’s my first real release as me, not as part of a group. I’m so thankful to Ravi for encouraging me to take this step.”

“Abyss of Love” is a cultural handshake, a vulnerable diary entry, and a bridge between genres that rarely get to cry together. With sweeping strings, bilingual lyrics, and harmonies that hit like a wave, it’s a journey through heartbreak with no passport required.
