Vocal duo As One will release their official final single on September 30 at 6 p.m. KST. The new track, Just Loving You, will include the last recorded voice of the late Lee Min.
A Farewell Through Music
On September 25, Brand New Music revealed the single's artwork and announced the heartfelt release. The cover art was personally illustrated by singer Lisa, a close friend of Lee Min. It features a purple butterfly alongside the message, "Wherever you are, I hope you are happy," symbolizing remembrance and farewell.
The purple butterfly holds special meaning for As One and their colleagues. On the day of Lee Min's passing, friends witnessed a butterfly that they later associated with her spirit. Lisa chose this imagery to capture the emotions of loss and memory in the artwork.
A Message to Fans
Member Crystal expressed her gratitude to fans, saying, "From our beginning until now, you have always been a warm light by our side. Thanks to you, we were able to walk this dream journey as As One." She added, "Through love, support, and music, we have always been one, and I will forever cherish that."
Honoring Lee Min's Legacy
In memory of Lee Min's lifelong compassion, a portion of the single's proceeds will be donated to an animal rights organization she supported during her life. Brand New Music stated, "We hope many will remember and celebrate As One through their music for a long time to come."
As One, known for hits like Want and Resent, Day by Day, and You Don't Know Me, made a lasting mark on Korean R&B. Lee Min passed away on August 5 at the age of 46. This single serves as her final gift to fans.
