Bobby Pins return after 3 years with new single 'Dalryeo', set for Let's Rock Festival
Bobby Pins return September 8 with '달려' after a three-year silence. Vocalist Lee Seung-yoon was discharged from military service in April 2025.
Three years, one discharge, one single
Bobby Pins are back. On September 8, the 4-member band released 달려 ("Dalryeo") across music platforms, snapping a roughly three-year gap since August 2023.
Vocalist Lee Seung-yoon enlisted in October 2023 and was discharged in April 2025. The timing lined up: the band waited, then moved. Leader and drummer Im Il-gyu wrote lyrics while the full group handled composition. Ruby Records' Lee Myung-jae and Lee Gyu-young arranged the track and brought in the brass. The single came together under the production support project of Chungnam Music Creation Center, operated by Chungcheongnam-do Content Promotion Agency.
What's coming next
A music video arrived with the single. The band teased upcoming content and performances without dates—except one: October 3 at Let's Rock Festival, which marks its 20th anniversary this year.
Bobby Pins framed the moment in racing terms. "We have taken our position at the starting line of our second race," they said. "This song will be your running mate."
(Three years is a long gap even with mandatory service factored in. Opening with a festival stage instead of a quiet streaming drop tells you something.)
