Lee So Ra has officially begun her long-awaited return to music by unveiling the teaser for her upcoming single, “Forget Your Face (Summer Breeze),” marking her first official comeback in nearly seven years.
The teaser video was released through Lee So Ra’s official social media channels at midnight on July 3 and quickly drew attention from fans eager to hear her voice again.
Known for her emotional singing style and calm stage presence, the veteran singer immediately reminded listeners why she remains one of Korea’s most respected vocalists.
The short teaser opens with Lee So Ra slowly appearing through heavy fog and smoke. Sitting alone on a wooden chair while holding a microphone, she creates a quiet but emotional mood, AllKPop reported. Soft lighting surrounds her as she performs with her eyes gently closed, wearing an ivory blouse and a long black skirt that add to the elegant atmosphere.
Even though only a small part of the song was revealed, fans responded strongly to the track’s emotional sound. Lee So Ra’s soft but powerful vocals blend with dreamy melodies and rich string instrumentals, leaving a lasting impression in just a few seconds.
The teaser ends with her silhouette fading into darkness before the song title appears on screen, building anticipation for the full release.
Lee So Ra Shares Heartfelt Message
The upcoming single is especially meaningful because it marks Lee So Ra’s first solo release since “Request Song,” her 2019 collaboration featuring SUGA of BTS. That song performed strongly on music charts both in Korea and overseas.
Since then, Lee So Ra has mainly participated in drama soundtrack projects while staying away from major solo promotions. Her return with a new single under her own name has become one of the most talked-about music comebacks this year.
Through her agency, Mareum Entertainment, Lee So Ra shared a heartfelt message ahead of the release. She said, “It’s been a long time since my last release, and I hope many people will listen to it.” She also thanked fans who waited for her music and promised to continue singing more actively in the future, according to The Chosun.
Lee So Ra first debuted in the early 1990s and later built a successful solo career with hit songs including “The Wind Is Blowing,” “Please,” “Proposal,” “Just Like the First Feeling,” and “I Am Happy.”
Her new single “Forget Your Face (Summer Breeze)” will officially be released at 6 p.m. on July 7 through major online music platforms.
