[Sports Seoul | Reporter Yoon Dong-eon] Actress Jeon Mi‑do has revisited the film’s emotional core by lending her voice to its original song.
On April 3, the film’s OST, "벗" ("Friend"), was released across music platforms. Music director Dalparan composed the track, with Yoon Jong‑shin contributing the lyrics. Jeon Mi‑do — who plays Maehwa in the film — provides the vocals, adding a personal layer to the piece.
Set in Cheongnyeongpo in 1457, the period drama follows an exiled young king and the villagers around him. The film is nearing 16 million admissions and continues to dominate the box office. The OST was produced as a thank-you to audiences for their enthusiastic support.
Building on her nuanced on-screen work, Jeon Mi‑do deepens Maehwa’s emotional arc by recording the song. A seasoned musical-theater performer, she channels Maehwa’s longing with a restrained, resonant delivery that gives the character added depth.
"Friend" is a ballad that expresses Maehwa’s feelings for Hongwi and extends the film’s emotional reach through music. Jeon Mi‑do’s understated yet immersive vocals help define the track’s atmosphere.
The song is available on major domestic platforms — Melon, Genie, Vibe, Flo, Bugs, YouTube Music — and on global services such as Spotify and Apple Music. hellboy321@sportsseoul.com
