Including ballads in drama OSTs have started to become a big trend in the past year. Secret Garden is one of the biggest running dramas this year and its OST is also very popular. The drama almost hit the 30% rating in their last episode.
Known as the "Queen of OST", Baek Ji Young sang a song for Secret Garden entitled "That Woman". Within a week, Baek Ji Young has sold 30,000 copies for that song alone. She is also known for her hit OST ballad for the drama IRIS called "Don't Forget".
Si Kyung, who was just recently released from his military services, is known as the "Prince of Ballads". Despite his two year absence, his ballads have also been sweeping the charts.
The ballad singer also released a song for Secret Garden called "You Are My Spring". His sweet voice deepens the emotional and poetic lyrics of attempting to push someone you love away, but eventually realizing you want them at your side forever.
SNSD's Taeyeon has also been known for her hit ballad OSTs, starting with "If" for the drama Hong Gil Dong in 2008. She recently sang another ballad, "I Love You", for the drama Athena: Goddess of War. The song is extremely loved by the audience and continues to maintain a stronghold on online charts.
Netizens have even made an 'MR' video for her OST song and praised her strong vocals.
A representative of the music industry said that the feeling of the characters in a drama can be felt through the OST song. Sad stories in general, can be finely represented through a ballad.
