SEVENTEEN’s JEONGHAN Revives ‘Winter Sonata’ After 22 Years; Release Set for the 26th

Preserving the original’s poignant resonance… selected as theme song for global audio drama

JEONGHAN, a member of the group SEVENTEEN, will sing a Japanese-language version of the original soundtrack (OST) for “Winter Sonata,” the legendary drama that sparked a Korean Wave across Asia.

His agency, PLEDIS Entertainment, announced on the 12th that the Japanese version of “My Memory,” featuring JEONGHAN’s vocals, will be officially released on the 26th.

The original “My Memory” is a signature OST from the drama “Winter Sonata,” which aired in 2002 and helped catalyze the Korean Wave. The poignant ballad portrays the fateful reunion and wistful love of its two protagonists through a lyrical melody.

The newly recorded track will be featured as the main theme for Audible’s “Winter Sonata” audio drama, produced by the global audio platform under Amazon, and is expected to heighten listeners’ immersion in the story.

“‘My Memory’ is a song that brings back memories of first love that everyone holds onto,” JEONGHAN said. “I hope my song becomes part of the storytelling and reaches your hearts.”
