Actor Lee Jae-wook is set to release his first single following his military enlistment.

Lee will drop his debut single album, 'Shadow,' on June 11 at 6 p.m. across various online music platforms. This album is a gift for his fans, produced by Im Seulong of the vocal group 2AM, after Lee enlisted in May.

'Shadow' features two tracks that capture the emotions surrounding the beginning and end of love, as well as the feelings that linger afterward. The title track, 'Shadow,' combines powerful band sounds with Lee's refreshing yet compelling vocals, expressing the longing and regret of being unable to escape the remnants of love.

The second track, 'The Season Everyone Passes Through,' features a minimal rock sound paired with a lyrical melody. Lee conveys the emotions of letting go of past love with his characteristic understated sensitivity. Notably, he participated in both the songwriting and composition, adding his personal perspective and feelings to the piece.

Along with the music, a live clip video will also be released. A teaser for the live clip, shared on June 9, features Lee immersed in the performance alongside a band session, hinting at the atmosphere of 'Shadow.'

Having showcased his acting skills in various projects, Lee aims to express his emotions through music with this single. He plans to reveal another side of himself by incorporating the delicate expressiveness he has shown as an actor into his vocals and original compositions.

Currently, Lee is portraying a public health doctor named Do-ji in the ENA drama 'Doctor Island Boy,' where he skillfully balances a character's coldness with a charming clumsiness. He is also expected to showcase a new side of himself in the upcoming Netflix series 'Honey Job,' set to be released in the second half of this year.
