Release date: 2026 January 07 Album tracklist:  Our Loud Goodbye , Our Loud Goodbye (Inst.) Album runtime: 8 minutes  I perked up so much when I saw that she'd released a new single.

The K-Pop landscape would likely look much different without her contributions and many of the later idols and groups may not have been able to debut as they did, if at all, without her. Also, congrats to her on being a mama (the congratulations is several years late, but I wasn't listening to K-Pop then) and it's good to see her coming back now that the baby is a little older. That was a lot of parentheses in this paragraph, but I just really...
