Singer WOODZ (Cho Seung-youn) is set to lend his voice to the Original Soundtrack (OST) for the highly anticipated K-drama ’21st Century Grand Princess,’ starring IU and Byun Woo-seok.
Kakao Entertainment announced on April 25 that WOODZ’s ‘EVERGLOW,’ the sixth part of the ’21st Century Grand Princess’ OST for the MBC Friday-Saturday drama, will be released at 6 PM KST on the same day.
In previous episodes of ’21st Century Grand Princess,’ the contract marriage storyline has been rapidly unfolding, deepening the relationship between Sung Hee-joo (played by IU) and Grand Prince Lee Ahn (played by Byun Woo-seok). Simultaneously, the emotional turmoil of Min Jung-woo (Noh Sang-hyun) and the conflict faced by Yoon Yi-rang (Gong Seung-yeon) have been vividly portrayed, raising anticipation for future developments. This new K-drama OST, imbued with WOODZ’s signature deep emotional resonance, is expected to further enhance the drama’s romantic sentiments and narrative depth.
‘EVERGLOW’ begins with a tranquil and soft piano melody, gradually building to a grand band sound and warm strings in the latter half, leaving a profound impression. Lyrics such as, “When I hold you in my eyes, you become my world,” and “I don’t want to lose the light that is you, who came into my closed heart and knocked,” evocatively reflect the increasingly tender shifts in the main characters’ relationships.
WOODZ’s unique blend of delicate yet powerful vocals completes the dramatic emotion, intertwining heartbreak and hope. This track is poised to deliver a deep resonance, aligning perfectly with the evolving narrative of the protagonists as they confront their growing feelings for each other.
An “all-rounder” artist, WOODZ effortlessly traverses genres and boundaries, from emotional ballads to powerful rock sounds. He has built his unique musical world based on his exceptional abilities in songwriting, composing, and producing. His self-penned track ‘Drowning’ created a powerful sensation, proving both his mainstream appeal and musical artistry. Furthermore, his first full-length album ‘Archive.1,’ released last March, received critical acclaim for its high completeness, solidifying his distinctive presence as a solo artist.
Currently, WOODZ is connecting with fans worldwide through his global tour, showcasing his expanded musical spectrum and solid live performances. Through this latest K-drama OST, he is expected to provide an immersive experience for global viewers, further cementing his international appeal.
