Singer Lee Hyori is making a sensational return — with a ballad.
'My Heart, Like Ice, Hardened' (My Heart, Like Ice, Hardened), featuring Lee Hyori, will be released at 6 p.m. on the 28th via major online music platforms.
The new track is the fifth entry in 'Ode to Love Songs: Lyricist Park Chang-hak Songbook Project', which spotlights lyricist Park Chang-hak's musical journey. With this song, Lee Hyori steps away from her signature dance sound to deliver a calm, mature vocal performance.
Production company Team Cabeto announced, "Lee Hyori took part in both the song selection and interpretation," signaling the start of the project. The arrangement was handled by Jeon Jin-hee, leader of the band Havinuaju, with the music centered on piano and a string orchestra.
According to Park Chang-hak's team, "This single began when Lee Hyori personally expressed her intention to participate, and she was involved in the selection and interpretation process."
Fans are already reacting online with comments like "How long has it been since Lee Hyori did a ballad?" and "We can't wait."
