Legendary Singer Lee So-ra Returns with New Music After 7 Years: "I Will Sing More Often from Now On"

Singer Lee So-ra is making a comeback with a new song after approximately seven years.

Her agency, Marehime Entertainment, announced on June 29, "Lee So-ra has confirmed the release of a new single this coming July." This marks her first solo release under her own name in about seven years, following the single "Song Request (Feat. SUGA of BTS)," which was released in 2019.

While Lee has consistently remained active in music through drama soundtracks, it has been a long time since she released a solo single. Her upcoming track is expected to showcase her signature, unrivaled vocal tone and even deeper emotional resonance.

Ahead of her comeback, Lee shared her thoughts, saying, "It feels new and different to release a new song after such a long time, and I hope many people will listen to it." She added, "I am grateful to those who have waited for me, and I plan to sing more often from now on, so I hope you will continue to show interest and support."

Lee proved her enduring musical presence through deep connection with her fans during her concert, "2026 Lee So-ra's 8th Spring Concert - Maze of Spring," held this past May. With the news of her first new song in seven years arriving while the lingering emotions of her concert are still fresh, anticipation among fans who have long awaited her music is rising.

Debuting in 1993 with the vocal group Strange People, Lee transitioned to a solo career in 1995. She has established herself as one of South Korea's representative vocalists by releasing numerous classic hits, including "I Am Happy," "Proposal," "Blue in You," "Please," "Don't Leave Me," "Remember," and "The Wind Is Blowing."

Lee So-ra's new single, which marks her return after a seven-year hiatus, is scheduled to be released on various online music platforms this July.
