"What I thought would forever be, Twenty Five Twenty One..."
The Korean drama "Twenty Five Twenty One" was a hit in 2022 but it actually owes its title to a song that came out much before the drama did.
This episode puts the spotlight on the veteran band Jaurim (Hangul: 자우림), their song "Twenty Five Twenty One" and the hit drama of the same name that successfully revived the song this year.
"I'm sorry you wasted your time - trying to be - a playa playa playa..."
Samuel Seo (Hangul: 서사무엘) sings to his younger self in "Playaplayaplaya," a song from his 2019 award-winning album "The Misfit."
This episode spotlights how Samuel Seo's song connects three professionals in different fields - an American neo soul artist, a Korean mime artist, and a Korean visual director.
"Dear flower, stay as you are for a long while..."
Korean folk singer-songwriter Jeongmilla (정밀아) delivers the words of a renowned poet in her song "Flower."
This song spotlight introduces the heartfelt song, the poet and the poem behind the lyrics, and why it was the perfect choice for a 2022 Korean drama.
