The Jeon So Min Playlist

Jeon So Min is known for being a versatile actress and a charming entertainer, but did you know that she’s also an artist who is very interested and talented in music?

In fact, she revealed in some TV shows in the past that she prepared to be a singer when she was in high school. The producer told her to debut as a faceless singer and continue her career later on as an actress. Unfortunately, the said producer left the country and ran away to Japan.

Aside from occasionally sharing her favorite songs with her fans, she has participated in some artists’ music for many years now. Her works, mostly as a lyricist, are also credited by KOMCA (Korea Music Copyright Association) as her compositions.

Here is the list of So Min’s beautiful works in music!

Choi Botton told the story of contacting So Min by sending an e-mail to the publisher of her book ‘You Can Call Me After A Drink’. He had nothing but praises for the actress after working with her for 4 months, saying she’s humble, bright, attentive, and considerate of others.

It is a painful song that reflects So Min’s writing about the emotions of love that are dyed black and was buried in a cold calmness.

One Room by Lee Ki Chan (Lyrics by Jeon So Min)

The song ‘One Room’ is Lee Ki Chan’s comeback song in 2021. It tells the story of a breakup based on a phone call from the man’s perspective. He revealed that he was surprised when he read the lyrics and praised So Min for being good at writing.

“I know I don’t deserve to say this but I hope you’re happy. Now it seems like this is really the end of us. I’ll hang up now. I won’t call you anymore. We’ve suffered enough.” (translated lyrics)

In the video, So Min was shown participating in writing the lyrics and presenting her ideas for the theme of the song. In the end, they chose the theme of a heart-fluttering push-and-pull love story.

Witness by Jung In (Lyrics by Jeon So Min)

Released in April 2024, ‘Witness’ is a ballad that tells the story of a couple that spends meaningful time together and being each other’s witnesses who remembers their memories together. It expresses the hope that even if the couple breaks up and never sees each other again, there’s proof that what they had was real.

So Min wrote the heartbreaking lyrics with full details like a movie scene.

권태 by Choi Botton (Lyrics by Jeon So Min)

권태, translated as gwon-tae or boredom, this song depicts the feeling of losing and saying goodbye to the things that you love and having the courage to take a step into a new world.

This song is another collaboration between Jeon So Min and Choi Botton released in May 2024.
