We all know what makes KDramas perfect, and one of them is the Original Soundtracks that play whenever the characters are giving us an intense feeling of the scene, such as when there is a confession of love, a revelation of a lie, a war between the protagonists and the antagonists, or any other event that spices up the storylines of KDramas.
It would take a great deal of time and thousands of days to sum up all of the KDrama Original Soundtracks. And, to narrow down the list of wonderful and ear-pleasing songs that we have and may have heard in KDramas, consider these OSTs sung by KPop idols!
KPop superstars aren't just for live performances and streaming music services; they can also be heard on KDrama Original Soundtracks! Here are some of our favorite KPop stars' performances from the original soundtracks of well-known and legendary KDramas:
TWICE
One of the leading KPop groups in South Korea for a while now has been TWICE. The world went berserk when Tzuyu, Jihyo, Momo, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, and Chaeyoung joined the group— this was due to both their charming affection for one another and their talent as performers. They have a ton of hit songs that have topped many music charts, and they also sang for a KDrama OST!
Here is Twice's "I Love You More Than Anyone” — a Part 4 Original Soundtrack performed for one of the most successful medical and romance comedy genre series, Hospital Playlist 2. This song, which was performed by TWICE, is about pleasantly adoring and loving someone who is lovely and sweet.
Seungmin of Stray Kids
Stray Kids are managed by JYP Entertainment, the same agency that represents TWICE. Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, and I.N. make up the group Stray Kids; they are eight attractive and talented men who became well-known due to their charisma and popular songs.
One of the K-pop stars who sung the song "Here Always" on Kim Seon Ho and Shi Min Ah's Hometown Cha Cha Cha's Original Soundtrack is Seungmin from Stray Kids. Who could possibly be unmoved by this exquisite song that actually causes your heart to skip a beat whenever Seungmin's voice is heard? Everyone appreciates Seungmin's voice, and he certainly has it! Giving your loved ones the reassurance that you'll always be there is the theme of the song "Here Always."

Part 8 of the "Hospital Playlist" series' second season's original soundtrack is titled "Is It Still Beautiful." It is a melancholy song about a man questioning his ex-lover and regretting how his relationship ended. The three attractive men from Seventeen, Woozi, DK, and Seungwan, truly did justice to this sorrowful yet consoling song—they performed it flawlessly!
