7 iconic K-drama OST singers–Lyn, Kim Bum Soo, K.Will, Chen, Soyou, Heize, and Lee Mujin–successfully wrapped up a magical night of iconic K-drama songs that brought all the feels at the much-awaited KOSTCON 2025 last August 6 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
K-Drama enthusiasts were lucky enough to be the second stop of the show, having the chance to hear unforgettable K-Drama OSTs live, along with some of the singers’ iconic original works.
Lee Mujin was the first performer up and made sure to charm the Pinoy crowd with his soulful voice. He began his performance with his beloved song Ordinary Confession. He then serenaded the crowd with iconic songs from beloved K-dramas: Rest from Castaway Diva, Rain and You from Hospital Playlist season 2, and Sweet from Business Proposal. He then ended with his popular song Episode.
Heize came on stage as the second performer and charmed her way through the crowd. She started her set with K-drama OSTs that definitely brought on the kilig: The Last from Our Blues, Can You See My Heart from Hotel Del Luna, You Are the One from Tastefully Yours, and Hold Me Back from the popular drama Queen of Tears.
She not only captured the audience with her soulful voice but also with her ability to connect with the audience. She took fanservice on a whole other level when she gifted a flower and signed Our Blues OST album to one lucky fan. She then ended her set with two of her solo songs, Happen and And July.
Soyou came up on stage next and captivated people’s hearts with beloved OSTs from dramas that touched the audience’s heart: I Miss You from Goblin, No Sleep from Love in the Moonlight, Just Once from Empress Ki, and Good To Be With You from When the Camelia Blooms. She sang a little bit of Sistar’s Touch My Body, which has the fans screaming, and ended her set with her popular song with Junggigo, Some.
As Chen was announced as the next performer, the crowd went wild. He was welcomed with a deafening scream. He started his set with a performance of his song Fall In Love Again and then made his way to serenade the crowd with unforgettable K-OSTs: Best Luck from It’s Okay, That’s Love, Make It Count from Touch Your Heart, and Everytime from Descendants of the Sun. He then capped off his performance with his solo song, Broken Party.
Singer K.Will was the fourth performer of the night and warmed up the crowd with a live performance of his song Love Blossom. He then proceeded to sing three K-OSTs: All I Have Is My Heart from Ghost Doctor, Beautiful Moment from The Beauty Inside, and Talk Love from Descendants of the Sun. He finished his stage with a live performance of his popular song Please Don’t…
Kim Bumsoo is considered one of South Korea’s best vocalists, and Filipino fans were lucky enough to hear him live. He started his set with several performances of OSTs he has sung for dramas over the years: A Love Begins From Confession from The Producers, I Miss You from Stairway To Heaven, and Appear from Secret Garden, in which he asked the audience to stand up and enjoy the song. He also sang his solo songs Last Love and Journey, the latter is part of his 9th full-length album.
The last and seventh performer to conclude the night of iconic K-OSTs was none other than the Queen of OST herself, Lyn. She began her performance with her solo song We Were In Love and then proceeded to perform some of her most unforgettable K-OSTs: With You from Descendants of the Sun, Love Story from The Legend of the Blue Sea, My Destiny from My Love From the Star, and Back In Time from Moon Embracing the Sun.
It was a magical night–but alas, like everything good and magical, this night of iconic K-drama OSTs must also come to an end. The participating singers, along with the people behind Random Minds, Hi-Five Entertainment Sdn. Bhd., and Kelebrity Worldwide Inc., who made the event possible, came up on stage one last time to thank the audience for their loud cheers and outpouring love–and ultimately, to bid farewell.
