The 15-year journey of the band Soran ended beautifully.

On the 16th, Soran held a showcase for a new EP 'Dream' at the MPMG headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and looked back on the 15-year journey along with changes in the team system.

After debuting in 2010, Soran, who was loved by 'Rikota Cheese Salad', 'Perfect Day', and 'Study You', has become a refreshing band sound and a performance-type band. However, after discussing the renewal of the contract last spring, he decided to switch to Ko Young-bae 'one-man system' after the concert in January next year.




Ko Young-bae said, `It feels strange and nervous to be standing here after always watching the society"Ironically, the first media showcase is the last." Then "It's not dissolution. There was no quarrel. Just a choice to respect each person's musical direction."

'Dream' is the last record of the current three-man system and the god in two years. The title contains the message 'I hope you will remain a dream band in the future. Ko Young-bae explained "The album name that started from Track 1 "I had a dream" and "It contains the excitement of the moment I started music and the future dreams."

The album contains five songs: 'There is no sin in the love heart', 'Our Movie', 'Night Poetry' and 'Night Star'. The song was composed of all the members' own songs, and the emotions of youth and dreams, separation and comfort were gently released. The first thing that came to mind in Seo-myeon was "Youth". The album was 'Dream' and 'Youth' for us.




The title song of this album "There is no sin in the love heart" is the first song created by Soran in collaboration with an external composer (Park Woo-sang), and the medium-tempo modern rock sound stands out.

Ko Young-bae wanted to tell the people who blamed themselves after the breakup 'You don't have to'"A song that calmly tells you that you just loved and that it's over."

Then "I was too immersed in making it, and the note became too high. The people who filmed the high-pitched challenge laughed, saying, `It's a real challenge.'




Seo Seo-ho said, "I wanted to make the song sound more modern by filling the bass sound with confidence````````.

Soran's decision was 'How to make the breakup less sad.' Ko Young-bae said, `I'm sad to say goodbye, but I thought the fans would be less sad if I took some time to finish it off nicely"So I asked him to say hello with the last album and performance."

Lee Tae-wook said "I was most worried about the fans' hearts. So I wanted to say thank you with the album and comfort you with the concert, and Seo Seo-ho said, `I want to make great memories with my fans for the rest of the year. Please don't be too sad and enjoy it together."

After the concert in January next year, Ko Young-bae will continue her career as a one-man band. "I don't plan to recruit new members or change my style just because I'm doing it alone."Ko Young-bae wants to maintain the color of the 15 years he has accumulated with the members. I hope that one day the three of us will all be cool and be on stage again."

Lee Tae-wook and Seo Seo Seo-ho said "We plan to put all our energy into the January concert" and "After that, we each have time to rest and self-improve and make new music"

The last concert of three people will be held at Yes24 Live Hall from January 17 to 18 next year. Ko Young-bae hoped that `I hope it will be a place where fans can enjoy exciting and happy rather than sad by decorating it as a standing concert.'

He added "There is no beautiful farewell, but I think the fans will be less sad if we say hello with a happy smile."

Soran's new EP 'Dream' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 17th.
