Im Siwan, while promoting his series Tracer performed a slow (ballad) version of popular track "Aftermath / Aftereffect" from ZE:A. South Korean boy-band ZE:A (Children of Empire) is where Im Siwan started his career in entertainment. I have added an old performance of the original song at the end of the post.
This is a beautiful rendition. Such soulful singing really suits Siwan.
Honestly, I feel this is the original composition, and Zea's track was a fast (remix) version of this! I have added that track at the end here.
Here is a still from behind the scenes of this show... Siwan's 'Bad Boy' is my favourite look.
Below are the lyrics. I could not find the middle lines, looks like Im Siwan composed it for this performance. (Anyone who knows Korean, please check and mail me!)

This terrible aftermath…
I keep consuming alcohol when I can’t even drink well I keep calling girls who I’m not even interested in I thought I was doing this because I was lonely
Even if nothing is wrong for a while, when I smell the perfume you used to wear Without knowing, I want to take out your photo and look at it
I'm the one who's left, so I can only see tears
I'll forget you and leave you
(the above two lines are using Google Lens+Translate)
I just endlessly cry,
I just endlessly get sad
Every day after you left,
I hate this pain of being left alone
I just keep endlessly crying,
I keep endlessly getting sad
Every day after I loved you,
I can’t sleep because of this terrible aftermath
Here is an old performance of the original track by Z:EA. This is a nine-member K-pop Boy band that is at present in an indefinite sabbatical. Im Siwan makes his mark on the stage even when there are 8 other members of equal importance.
