PLAVE – 달랐을까 What If Official M/V

The OST for the drama “To My Heli: The Door of Growing Love,” performed by the virtual boy group PLAVE.

Released in October 2024, it’s a poignant ballad.

As the group’s first participation in a drama OST, this track delivers an emotionally rich melody that resonates within a gentle, soothing atmosphere.

It expresses the wavering feelings within the hypothetical “what if I had chosen a different path,” conveyed with PLAVE’s distinctive sensibility.

Universal emotions—like anxiety about the future and the struggles of choice—tenderly accompany the listener’s heart.

It’s the perfect song for immersing yourself in the drama’s world while reflecting on the possibilities of your own life.

그 말은 하지마 (Don’t say that)달리(DALIE)

달리(DALIE) – 그 말은 하지마 (Don’t say that) OFFICIAL M/V

A single released in 2021 by singer-songwriter DALIE.

It’s a heartbreak song that portrays the inability to let go of a lover whose affection has completely faded.

Sometimes breakups come out of the blue, don’t they? Maybe resentment has piled up over time, or perhaps there’s been a change of heart toward someone new.

Either way, there’s nothing more painful and sorrowful than loving someone and not being able to reach them.

It makes you want to cry out, Why!? and beg them to stay.

The warm acoustic sound and DALIE’s emotionally rich vocals make your feelings spill over before you know it.
