K-pop Star Bibi: 21st Century's 'Great Empress'

Singer BIBI will be the first artist to release an OST for MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'The Grand Heir of the 21st Century'. BIBI's OST Part.1, 'My Pace', will be released on various music platforms at 6 PM on April 10th.

'My Pace' conveys a message of forging one's own path at their own pace, without being bound by the standards, status, or destiny of others. BIBI's unique languid yet emotionally resonant vocals enhance the song's immersion, while a powerful guitar riff and synthesizer sound blend with a catchy chorus to add to its completeness.

Kakao Entertainment expects BIBI's distinctive voice and genre-bending musicality to deeply enrich the drama's narrative. BIBI's participation, having solidified her position as a global artist through world tours and major festivals like Coachella, is heightening interest from fans worldwide for the drama.

In addition to BIBI, the OST for 'The Grand Heir of the 21st Century' will feature a large lineup of artists from various genres, including RIIZE, BOYNEXTDOOR, WOODZ, KiiiKiii, Han Lo-ro, and hrtz.wav, who are expected to expand the emotional spectrum of the work in a three-dimensional way.

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'The Grand Heir of the 21st Century' will premiere on the 10th at 9:40 PM. Set in a 21st-century constitutional monarchy in South Korea, the drama depicts a destiny-defying, status-breaking romance between Seong Hee-ju (played by IU), a chaebol heiress who has everything but is of commoner status, and Prince Ian (played by Byun Woo-seok), the son of a king who can possess nothing. The drama is already garnering significant attention before its broadcast due to its unique world-building, emotional romance, and the pairing of lead actors IU and Byun Woo-seok.
