KCM will release his first single of 2026, "잊혀져가더라." The single "잊혀져가더라," which will be released on the 18th, is a song that rediscovers KCM's " 본업 모먼트" as a ballad singer rather than the image of a head of household he has shown through the recent birth of his third son and the variety program The Return of SUPERMAN. KCM wrote the lyrics and music and produced "잊혀져가더라" himself.
"잊혀져가더라" is a ballad that contemplatively depicts the story after breakup and loss. It puts into words memories that you wanted to hold on to but that eventually slipped from your hands, and a heart that is neither painful nor vivid anymore. The song poetically unpacks the theme that being forgotten is a process of living. This new KCM song "잊혀져가더라" shows a more mature side of him as a singer-songwriter not only in theme but musically as well. The intentionally restrained, minimal instrumentation allows listeners' emotions to flow rather than pool, and low, breath-like strings create space in the song. In particular, KCM sings with a relaxed vocal and begins in a low tone, delivering the song as if calmly telling a story. Through breath and articulation he conveys emotion so that the gaps in the lyrics remain more distinct, and with the building chorus toward the end he creates emotional afterimages that express the song's theme: feelings that are not completely forgotten but are no longer grasped. KCM consistently focused on his work as a singer in 2025, releasing new songs while balancing broadcast activities and activities in Japan, from "나라는 사람에게" to "어쩌다가," "그낸 내게 가장 예뻐요," and "오래된 교복." This year, while appearing on shows such as The Return of SUPERMAN and caring for his third son born at the end of last year, he is determined not to forget his primary responsibility.
