Description (Translated):
Beloved ___Strangely enough, we never get used to conveying our feelings of love. There are countless things I want to say, but in the end, I can't even express them and end up swallowing them back inside. No words are enough to convey the sincerity that has been tightly packed.
So the only sincere thing I hope to reach you who are listening to this album right now is
That you are also a very loved being, that is all.
Sincerely yours,
turmoil
Soran, who sings special songs about even the smallest moments of daily life, sings about various forms of love through this mini album [Beloved]. Even casual contact is cautious, making unrequited love even more refreshing. A love that is so overwhelming and uncontrollable just by its very existence. And a slightly more dense, perhaps mature love. These are stories that I feel like I have experienced at least once, or will experience.
Therefore, anyone can become the protagonist described by the name of this album, [Beloved]. It could be you who is listening to Soran's song at this moment, someone who comes to mind while listening to the song, or even a pet that is always with you.
Because there are so many things we love in our lives.
1. Be with me
“If you were next to me right now, I think the cold nights and dark times would be okay.”
A song about a person who cannot get closer because he is afraid that if he tells him how he likes, he will lose his unrequited love, and always hovers next to him. It's impressive to see the band's sound evolve as their hearts grow without notice, and it contains all the essence of the various music Soran has shown so far.
2. Whisper (DANG!) (feat. Mongja)
“You are so precious just by being there, like sunlight on the grass.”
This song was written by vocalist Ko Young-bae, inspired by the story that a pet's owner is everything in the world. It expresses the love between people and pets and the happiness gained through that love. Mongja, the main character of the YouTube channel 'Whispering Mongja', which is what got Go Young-bae into pet videos and is the muse of this song, added to the fun of listening with his lovely barking and eating sounds.
3. Switch
“The star that shines quietly on me even during the day”
'Switch' contains the message that everything ordinary becomes special when you are with the person you love. It is a song that expresses its specialness through a switch that selects light and darkness, and allows you to feel the city pop sound interpreted by Soran.

Description (Original):
Beloved ___이상하게도 사랑하는 감정을 전하는 일은 좀처럼 익숙해지는 법이 없다. 하고 싶은 말은 셀 수 없이 많지만 결국에는 표현조차 못 하고 속으로 되삼키고 만다. 그 어떤 말도 꾹꾹 눌러 담은 진심을 담아내기에는 역부족이라.
그러니까 지금 이 앨범을 듣고 있는 당신에게 닿기를 바라는 단 한 가지의 진심은
당신 또한 대단히 사랑받는 존재라는 것, 그것 하나뿐이다.
Sincerely yours,
소란
소소한 일상의 순간들마저 특별하게 노래하는 소란이 이번 미니 앨범 [Beloved]를 통해 다양한 형태의 사랑을 노래한다. 가벼운 연락조차 조심스러운, 그래서 더 풋풋한 짝사랑. 존재 자체만으로도 벅차올라 주체할 수 없는 사랑. 그리고 조금은 더 농밀한, 어쩌면 성숙한 사랑. 언젠가 한 번쯤은 겪어본 것만 같은, 혹은 겪어보게 될 이야기들이다.
그렇기에 누구나 이번 앨범명 [Beloved]가 수식하는 주인공이 될 수 있다. 지금 이 순간 소란의 노래를 듣고 있는 당신이 될 수도, 노래를 들으며 떠오른 어떤 누군가가 될 수도, 심지어는 늘 함께하는 반려동물이 될 수도 있다.
우리가 살아가며 사랑하는 대상들은 너무나도 많으니까 말이다.
1. 있어주면 (Be with me)
"지금 내 옆에 네가 있어주면 차가운 밤도 어두웠던 시간도 괜찮을 것 같은데"
좋아하는 마음을 말하면 짝사랑마저도 못하게 될까 봐 더 다가가지 못하고 언제나 두 발 옆에 맴도는 사람의 이야기를 그린 곡. 눈치 없이 커져만 가는 마음을 따라 밴드의 사운드가 기승전결을 만들어가는 것이 인상적이며, 소란이 그동안 보여준 다양한 음악들의 정수가 모두 담겨 있다.
2. 속삭여줘 (DANG!) (feat. 몽자)
“너는 그대로 있는 것만으로도 너무 소중해 잔디 위에 햇살 같아”
반려동물에게 주인은 세상의 전부라는 이야기로부터 보컬 고영배가 영감을 얻어 쓴 곡으로, 사람과 반려동물의 사이의 사랑과 그 사랑을 통해 얻는 행복을 표현하고 있다. 고영배가 반려동물 영상에 빠지게 된 계기이자 이 곡의 뮤즈인 유튜브 채널 ‘속삭이는 몽자’의 주인공 몽자가 사랑스럽게 짖는 소리와 사료 먹는 소리로 함께해 듣는 재미를 더했다.
3. 스위치 (Switch)
“조용하게 반짝이는 낮에도 날 비춰주는 별”
‘스위치 (Switch)’는 사랑하는 사람과 함께라면 평범한 모든 것들이 특별해진다는 메시지를 담고 있다. 빛과 어둠을 선택하는 스위치로 그 특별함을 표현해냈으며, 소란이 해석한 시티팝 사운드를 느낄 수 있는 곡이다.
