Remember the “music drama” Soul Special, featuring Han Hyo-joo (Brilliant Legacy) and Kim Dong-wook (Partner)? Kim Dong-wook has participated on the soundtrack, which also features artists like Rumble Fish and K.Will, and Kim’s track (“나에게 그대는”) was released online this week to such great response that within the first day of the release, the website went down. (Listen below.)

Soul Special is a twelve-part web series of five-minute videos that are released every Tuesday and Thursday. Parts 7 & 8 were released this week. (Watch Parts 1 & 2 in this previous post; see 3 through 6 below.)

SONG OF THE DAY

Kim Dong-wook – “나에게 그대는” (To me you are), from the OST of Soul Special. [ Download ]

Kim Dong-wook has been acting steadily since making a splash in 2007’s Coffee Prince. He’s currently enjoying renewed popularity for his role in the hit ski-jump movie Take Off, which has done tremendously well at the box office and has now broken into the all-time Top 10 list. He’s also no stranger to singing, as he has also acted onstage in the musical production of On Air. Next he will take on another musical role — with SNSD’s Jessica — in Legally Blonde [금발이 너무해], playing the Luke Wilson role of Emmett. The musical opens on November 14.

Thanks for the download! He does a nice, nice job on that ballad. I just watched Coffee Prince for about the 5th time & he still makes me LOL. Great to hear how well his career has gone since then.

@Javabeans
There are subs, I think you have to make sure the closed captions are on to see them. But thank you for putting up the song and the videos! He really does have a nice singing voice!

There is something about Kim Dong Wook that I like, I noticed it when I saw him on We Got Married (Gundam Couple edition). I'm attracted to hot dashing men, but I know IRL I'd probably have a crush on this guy...hehehe.

I like his singing voice, too. I'll download the song. Thanks, JB!

And yes, there are subs, I see them too.

I love his voice!!! It's quite surprising he sings this well, he can be a ballad singer or maybe indie singer, it will be great~

@6 yeah there are subtitles... their just close caption so you need to click cc to see them, it doesnt appear automatic from the videos here but when i open it straight from you tube, it appears immediately... i dont know what's the diff...

@15, im wondering the same thing if he is the same person who sung for the track 6 of YB's OST...
