[Audio] 김재중 (KIM JAE JOONG) – 괜찮아 (It’s okay) (나쁜 기억 지우개 X 김재중) (Bad Memory Eraser OST) #Rock

A song that blends poignancy and warmth, sinking deep into the heart.

Woven with Jaejoong’s kaleidoscopic voice, this ballad was released in September 2024 as part of the OST for the Korean drama “The Bad Memory Eraser.” The delicate arrangement of piano and guitar beautifully highlights Jaejoong’s soaring vocals.

The repeated lyric “It’s okay” offers comfort and encouragement to listeners.

Tied closely to the protagonist’s emotions, this track is perfect for those feeling worn out by daily life or when you want to lift someone’s spirits.

Be sure to give it a listen when you’re struggling or feeling down.

Taeyeon – 들리나요.. [OST]

This song is part of the OST for the MBC drama “Beethoven Virus.” Taeyeon, the main vocalist of Girls’ Generation, combines both power and a gentle, mellow tone, and I think this track is one that truly lets you feel that charm of hers.

[HAN|ROM|ENG|INDO SUB LYRICS] Lily M – I’m Afraid (겁이 나) Orange Marmalade OST Part. 3

This song is part of the OST for the KBS2 drama “Orange Marmalade.” Despite being born in 2002, Lily M showcases a mature charm with her husky voice.

It’s her first time participating in an OST, but her vocals are on par with other singers.
