Since her solo debut, Ben has participated in various album activities and various drama OSTs, earning nicknames such as ‘Reliable Ben’, ‘OST Queen’, and ‘Eardrum Girlfriend’, thus establishing herself as a top solo female singer with her exceptional vocal skills. It is expected that she will once again show her strength with this song ‘Deep Sorrow’, which captures her clear voice and poignant emotions.
The song further enhances the immersion of the drama by capturing the subtly changing relationships and emotions of characters beloved by viewers as the ‘ambitious couple’ Jang Tae-jun (Lee Jung-jae) and Kang Sun-young (Shin Min-a), along with Yoon Hye-won (Lee Elijah) and Han Do-kyung (Kim Dong-jun), through Ben’s heartfelt emotions.

Additionally, the climax features a wonderful combination of Ben’s clear voice followed by the performance of guitarist ‘Jukjae’. ‘Jukjae’ has been active as a guitar session for top singers such as Kim Dong-ryul, Park Hyo-shin, IU, Taeyeon, and has gained popularity as a singer-songwriter, actively participating in music variety shows like ‘Begin Again’.

Lyrics #
어둠이 짙게 내리고 (Eodumi jitge naerigo)
As darkness falls heavily
어느새 밤은 다시 또 오고 (Eoneusae bameun dasi tto ogo)
Before I know it, night comes again
원하지 않아도 다시 해가 뜨듯이 (Wonhaji anhado dasi haega tteudeusi)
Like the sun rises again even if I don’t want it to
우릴 향한 운명인 걸 (Uril hyanghan unmyeongin geol)
It’s our destiny heading towards us
좋았던 날을 기억해 (Joatdeon nareul gieokhae)
Remember the good days
우리가 함께 걸었던 이길 (Uriga hamkke georeotdeon igil)
This path we walked together
언젠가 서로를 그냥 바라봐 주던 (Eonjenga seororeul geunyang barabwa judeon)
When we simply looked at each other someday
그때 그대로 우리 다시 (Geuttae geudaero uri dasi)
Just like that time, us again
한숨만 거칠게 한숨만 내쉬던 (Hansumman geochilge hansumman naeswideon)
Only sighing roughly, only exhaling sighs
그런 하루 끝에 그대가 손 내밀면 (Geureon haru kkeute geudaega son naemilmyeon)
At the end of such a day, if you reach out your hand
하얗게 번져가던 하루 끝에서 (Hayahge beonjyeogadeon haru kkeuteseo)
At the end of a day that was fading to white
한숨만 더 내 쉬고 나면 (Hansumman deo nae swigo namyeon)
If I just sigh a bit more
그대네요 (Geudaeneyo)
It’s you
모든 게 내 탓이라며 (Modeun ge nae tasiyameyo)
Saying everything is my fault
하나 둘 내 곁에서 떠나면 (Hana dul nae gyeoteseo tteonamyeon)
One by one, they leave my side
어느 것 하나도 바랄 수가 없었던 (Eoneu geot hanado baral suga eopseotdeon)
I couldn’t wish for anything
그 길 끝에서 그대와 나 (Geu gil kkeuteseo geudaewa na)
You and I at the end of that path
한숨만 거칠게 한숨만 내쉬던 (Hansumman geochilge hansumman naeswideon)
Only sighing roughly, only exhaling sighs
그런 하루 끝에 그대가 손 내밀면 (Geureon haru kkeute geudaega son naemilmyeon)
At the end of such a day, if you reach out your hand
하얗게 번져가던 하루 끝에서 (Hayahge beonjyeogadeon haru kkeuteseo)
At the end of a day that was fading to white
한숨만 더 내 쉬고 나면 (Hansumman deo nae swigo namyeon)
If I just sigh a bit more
그대네요 (Geudaeneyo)
It’s you
하루 종일 앞만 보다가 (Haru jongil apman bodaga)
Spending the whole day just looking forward
지금 어디에 우린 어디인가요 (Jigeum eodie urin eodiingayo)
Where are we now, where are we
한숨만 내쉴게요 (Hansumman naeswilgeyo)
I will just sigh
많은걸 원하지 않아요 조그만 (Manheungeol wonhaji anhayo jogeuman)
I don’t want much, just a little
내 위로가 내게 닿기를 기도해요 (Nae wiroga naege dahgireul gidohaeyo)
I pray that my comfort reaches me
