Bum Jin drops new album 'Jalgara' about parting and lost time
Singer-songwriter Bum Jin dropped *Jalgara* on September 15, riding momentum from his KBS drama OST work.
Jalgara lands on September 15
Bum Jin released Jalgara on September 15 through online music platforms. The title track explores parting with a loved one, relationships grown distant, and time that can't come back. His voice—solitary, unadorned—sits at the center of it all, the release notes say, creating something that lingers.
Bum Jin's agency kept it simple: "'Jalgara' is a word given to someone departing, and a quiet farewell conveyed to those going through parting."
Coming off KBS drama buzz
The album arrives after a recent run of visibility. His OST work on the KBS drama Sarangi Onda (사랑이 온다) drew praise for his delicate sensibility and plain vocal delivery. (The OST clearly set the table for this—drama placement to a full album drop is a clean arc.)
Unplayer is hosting a music video release event to mark the drop, alongside other launch celebrations.
