IU, Byeon Woo-seok Romance: Han Lo-ro Teases K-Drama Couple

Singer Han Lolo will release OST Part.5 '​Annyeong' for MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '​A Grand Prince of the 21st Century' at 6 PM on the 24th, deepening the romantic feelings between IU and Byun Woo-seok. The drama is gaining popularity with rising viewership ratings and top global chart rankings, and fans have high expectations for the participation of singer-songwriter Han Lolo, who has dominated the music charts. This OST is expected to create a synergy that amplifies the deepening emotions of Sung Hee-joo (played by IU) and Grand Prince Ian (played by Byun Woo-seok), who have begun their full-fledged romance.

Han Lolo is the most 주목받는 (noteworthy) singer-songwriter recently, proving her presence on music charts and festival stages. She draws deep empathy by persuasively conveying the complex emotions of youth with her restrained emotions, delicate vocals, and unique tone. Through songs like 'I Will Love You,' '0+0,' and the recent single 'Game Over ?,' she has expanded her fandom by showing her irreplaceable presence. Her musical world is expected to provide viewers with a powerful experience by intertwining with the drama's narrative in this OST.

Han Lolo's 'Annyeong,' to be released this time, harmonizes the dreamy sound characteristic of synth-pop with her distinctive vocals. The song captivates the listener with a contrasting explosive guitar sound in the chorus against its wistful and mysterious intro, offering a twist. The minimalist instrumental arrangement clearly conveys the song's energy, and the unconventional vocal chorus arrangement adds depth to the characters' complex emotions, enhancing the drama's enjoyment.

In particular, the dual meaning of the word 'Annyeong' (meaning both hello and goodbye) and lyrics like 'Without anyone saying who first, we,' 'The moment I faced you, I froze,' and 'Don't Run From Me' delicately capture the emotions of excitement, anxiety, anticipation, and hesitation. This is expected to more vividly portray the relationship changes and deepening emotions of Sung Hee-joo and Grand Prince Ian as they grow closer.

The OST for 'A Grand Prince of the 21st Century' is expanding the drama's narrative by adding different emotional textures with each part. While BOYNEXTDOOR's 'No Doubt' and RIIZE's 'Behind The Shine,' released earlier, delicately expressed the excitement of romance, Han Lolo's 'Annyeong' is expected to add deeper and more profound emotions, further enhancing the story's immersion.
