Han Gyeong-il releases ballad single '이별의 아픔 속에 살아가' on June 13

Han Gyeong-il released digital single 이별의 아픔 속에 살아가 on June 13, 2026 across online music sites.

A ballad. The song traces what stays behind after a breakup—love that won't fade, pain that time doesn't soften. The release frames it around the cold temperature of memories left behind. Pilseung Bulpae (필승불패) and Choi Yu-jin (최유진) wrote it together, both with multiple hits to their names.

Two lines have caught attention. "이 밤은 더 길어져 생각이 많아지고 / 잠들지 못한 맘 오늘은 더욱 소란스러워" (this night grows longer, thoughts multiply / my sleepless heart is more turbulent today). And "입김처럼 한순간 사라진 약속들 싸늘한 바람이 분다" (like breath, promises that vanished in an instant — a cold wind blows). Both capture the interior of someone alone while the world sleeps.

Han Gyeong-il debuted in 2002 with 한경일 No.1. He's released 내 삶의 반, 한 사람을 사랑했네, and 그 때 또 다시. Twenty-four years in and still dropping breakup ballads. 이별의 아픔 속에 살아가 is his latest digital single.
