Ran drops autumn ballad "이제는 잊혀질 때도 됐는데" on September 26
Singer Ran, who debuted in 2006, released a new digital single on September 26 — a post-breakup ballad that builds from hushed lows to full-voiced highs.
Ran's first new single of autumn
Ran dropped the digital single 이제는 잊혀질 때도 됐는데 on September 26 at noon across online music platforms. It's a ballad about the feeling of being unable to forget someone even after a breakup — the kind of song that fits the season without announcing it.
The lyrics are direct: "이제는 잊혀질 때도 됐는데 왜 너는 아직 선명한 걸까 / 수많은 밤을 지나왔는데도 내 마음은 그날에 멈춰 있어" ("It should be time to forget you by now, so why are you still so vivid / I've passed through so many nights, but my heart is still stopped on that day"). The arrangement starts restrained and mournful, then explodes into an upper register — a structure that gives the song room to breathe before it opens up.
Twenty years in, still releasing
Ran debuted in 2006 with The Second Story and has spent the years since building a steady presence through drama and webtoon OST work. OST vocals are a career lane that keeps artists active without the full comeback machinery, and Ran has worked it consistently. This single continues that pattern of regular releases alongside the OST credits.
For listeners who know Ran from that OST catalog, 이제는 잊혀질 때도 됐는데 is worth the listen.
