Lee Chae-yeon has become the first vocalist for the original soundtrack of her acting debut work, 'Fresh Romance.'
As the music healing romantic comedy 'Fresh Romance' is set to be released on June 12 on OTT platforms like Wavve, Tving, and Watcha, the song 'Here I stay' will be released on the 11th.
The story depicts the spicy yet sweet romance between a part-time worker at a chicken foot restaurant, Han Jeong-woo (played by Sion), who dreams of becoming a singer-songwriter, and Yu Chae-rin (played by Lee Chae-yeon), a national goddess singer who leads a happy life only on social media, showcasing various charms as an actress while demonstrating her vocal skills through the original soundtrack.
'Here I stay' is a ballad completed through a lyrical melody and comfortable arrangement. The emotion added by Yu Chae-rin in the drama maximizes the immersion in the drama and evokes a poignant sense of longing in viewers.
With lyrics like 'If we ever meet, please hold me tight / As if nothing happened, that's all I need / When longing fills me and the pain grows / Time that has faded will bloom again / Here I stay, by your side', Lee Chae-yeon's emotional voice adds to the heartfelt portrayal of love in the story.
This song features contributions from the production team Urbane Music, which is actively involved in OSTs and production albums with skilled vocalists. Lee Chae-yeon, a former member of the girl group IZONE, is transforming into a solo artist, and after her first acting challenge in 'Fresh Romance,' she is gaining attention from fans with her first vocal contribution to the OST, 'Here I stay.'
At the drama's production presentation on the 9th, Lee Chae-yeon noted, 'My experience acting in 'Fresh Romance' has given me confidence as a singer and has ignited a great passion for music.'
