South Korean singer Lee So-ra is set to release a new single in July, marking her return to the music scene after approximately seven years. Her agency, Marehim Entertainment, announced the upcoming release on June 29, generating excitement among her long-time fans.

This new single follows her 2019 collaboration with BTS member Suga on the track 'Song Request.' While Lee So-ra has contributed to drama soundtracks (OSTs) since then, this will be her first official single release in a considerable period. The agency highlighted that the comeback would be welcome news for fans who have patiently awaited her new music.

Reflecting on her return, Lee So-ra shared her feelings through her agency. "It feels new to release a new song after such a long time, and I hope many people will listen to it," she stated. "I am grateful to those who have waited. I will sing more in the future, so please continue to pay attention and watch over me."

Lee So-ra debuted in 1993 as a member of the vocal group 'Natsun Saramdeul' (Strange People) before launching her solo career in 1995. She has since established herself as a representative vocalist in Korean popular music with hits like 'I'm Happy,' 'Proposal,' 'Blue in You,' 'Please,' 'Don't Leave Me,' 'Remember Me,' 'The Wind Blows,' and 'Track 9.' Her restrained vocal technique, deep, low tones, and emotionally resonant interpretations have earned her a multi-generational following.

The new single is scheduled for release in July through various online music platforms. Specific details regarding the release date and song information will be disclosed later.

It feels new to release a new song after such a long time, and I hope many people will listen to it. I am grateful to those who have waited. I will sing more in the future, so please continue to pay attention and watch over me.
