IVE's Liz has officially released her first solo original soundtrack, "Tunnel," for the new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'A Chilling Romance'. The track became available on various music platforms on June 19 at 6 PM KST, marking a significant moment for fans eager to hear her distinct vocal color in a new context.
"Tunnel" captures a poignant narrative, expressing feelings of anxiety and loneliness within an endless darkness, yet holding onto a faint hope to move forward. Liz's signature clear and emotionally charged vocals delicately convey the song's story and atmosphere, promising to deepen the audience's immersion into the drama's unfolding narrative.
'A Chilling Romance' is an occult romance drama that follows the chaotic story of Cheon Yeo Ri (played by Park Eun Bin), a wealthy heiress who can see ghosts, and Ma Kang Wook (played by Yang Se Jong), a passionate prosecutor who is terrified of them. The series is a remake of a popular film with the same title, drawing considerable attention even before its broadcast. Through "Tunnel," Liz aims to intricately portray the characters' emotions and struggles, depicting the harsh realities, sadness, and the persistent hope that cannot be easily abandoned.
Since her debut, Liz has established a strong vocal presence within IVE, known for her solid high notes and delicate falsetto that enhance the group's dreamy musical style. Her vocal capabilities were further highlighted in February with the release of her solo song "Unreal" from IVE's second full-length album, 'REVIVE+', showcasing her deepened emotional range and unique musical identity.
Meanwhile, Liz continues her activities with IVE as they navigate their second world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I AM'. The group successfully concluded their Japan leg, drawing approximately 127,000 attendees across performances at Kyocera Dome in April and Tokyo Dome in June. Their global journey is set to expand further with a North American tour, commencing on June 21 in Toronto, Canada. Fans are expressing considerable anticipation for Liz's contribution to the drama's soundtrack.
