Omo, omo, omo, omo, omooooo -- I still clearly remember that fine Sunday afternoon when Yours by Kim Seok-jin was aired for the first time. I turned my notifications on to the two YouTube video premieres of Seokjin's original soundtrack files for the Korean drama made by tvN called Jirisan. Yes, both official audio and lyric, so I would not be late hearing my ultimate bias' first solo song outside BTS! But you know, I was actually waiting for it the whole weekend. Got a teaser the night before the D-Day and I just could not help thinking about Yours by Jin! And so, to be honest, that notif bell was not that a need because I was that excited to hear the sound track, that I would never wanna miss it. Got even more excited when I knew that AStory was also releasing a special music video for Yours that night! Jin's song is the main OST of Jirisan. Maybe the reason why it is the only track with the official MV. Of course, I did not allow that memorable moment to pass by. Not on my watch! Yes, I would forever remember those magical minutes when I first heard Yours by KSJ. How proud I was, still am, and infinitely will be because of Jinnie's excellent low registers to perfect high notes transitions! Plus and more so? Because listeners like me have been touched by the emotions of the song. That feeling that as if Seokjin was singing and acting at the same time because he is just so into it! Daebak! And I know this is kinda-kinda, but Seokjinnie being magnetized to K-dramas really makes me wonder: Actor Kim Seokjin when since he an OST King already 💖 Kim Seokjin's Yours is a great story itself. Yes, it is an original soundtrack for a Korean drama, but it also has its own tale to tell. Before heading onto that though, for those who need a backgrounder about the Jirisan TV series, I would provide the basics for you too! So here it goes... Jirisan, named after South Korea's mountain of the odd and wise people, is a tvN drama released last October 23. It is an ongoing television series as of this writing that can be watched every 21:00 (KST) on weekends. But do know that it is also available anytime on iQIYI for streaming. Jirisan has a thrillingly captivating plot revolving around mysteries and fantasies on these sacred mountain ranges. Yup! It is not just drama per se, but a mix of unreal ideas and slices of life, making this series much more and more impressive then. And because Jirisan is so-called tvN's 15th Anniversary Special Drama, the network weaved the best of the best artists of the industry! Lead by the ever-stunning Jun Ji-hyun as Seo Yi-kang and ever-amazing Ju Ji-hoon as Kang Hyun-jo, people already knew that Jirisan would be an iconic drama even before it was viewed to the public. Effective actors and passionate actresses Oh Jung-se, Sung Dong-il, Go Min-si, Han-Chul Jo, Jeon Seok-ho, Kim Young-ok, and more play big roles here too! So with this powerhouse cast and gripping storyline put together? Of course! Jirisan is one of the most anticipated dramas this 2021, not just in Seoul but in the whole world! 💖 Of course, Seokjin singing the OST for the star-studded Jirisan is a bomb for ARMY, especially Seokjinnies, and Jin-biased like me! Since the announcement of this wonderful news on the first day of October, fans had been waiting for it. Then recently, the network announced that Seokjin's piece is the main OST of the series, so it would be heard in the middle of the run. Computing the half of the show with 16 episodes, the OST Part 4 is expected to be revealed on November 7th. And it did! And on that day, our Worldwide Handsome made history. Because actually, Jinnie, together with the other OST singers, are dubbed as the golden OST lineup! Uh-huh. Actors and singers of Jirisan are the creme de la creme of South Korean entertainment! This makes me more proud, like more and more and more, of Seokjin's power! Jeongmal! Because it is true that Jirisan is a high-profile drama. However, despite knowing that, Kim Seokjin actually had no promotions for his OST. He talked about it on Weverse, yes. Yet other than that, none. Of course, it is a big deal because it was unpromoted by BigHit, not even the Jirisan producers. After all, as expected, they are more focused on the show. This is why ARMY and Seokjinnies are overwhelmed with the achievements this OST holds. I mean, we know Seokjin deserves this a hundred and ten percent. But woah! I for one could not believe it at first. I could not comprehend the happenings that Jinnie has been neck to neck with veteran musicians like Adele, Ed Sheeran, and The Weeknd! You are reading that right! Seokjin is even exchanging the top positions with these a-rtists for weeks in the charts! Must be dreaming the reality because my man has broken records in both Korean and world history! Wow, right? Just wow. Aiiiii-wow! So this is me thanking the support of everyone! Shoutout to the non-fans. And especially to those who have worked hard for this, of course 💖 KSJ's Yours, written by Gaemi and JIDA, is undoubtedly considered a ballad masterpiece. Different from BTS vocalist Jin, this song is much more suitable for Seokjin's heavenly tenor range. To be honest, this proves that Kim Seokjin is not just WWH, you know, but! That Jin rightfully deserves to be praised because of his silver, to even platinum, voice! The whole song has various high and low notes which he hit aimlessly like a bullseye. The King Seokjin definitely served full justice singing the main OST of the drama. Like, just the soundtrack alone, listeners would already feel the emotions of the said show. The soundtrack itself, particularly the one with the video, is like a teaser as the viewers would have a hint on what Jirisan is all about. Like me and my sister, we wanna watch the drama after hearing the track. Yours is definitely the perfect main OST for Jirisan. And Jin is the best artist to sing this. Though for real only, Seokjin's song hits me with or without knowing about the series too. Just hearing the melancholic tune and understanding the soul-touching lyrics already has its own meaning, its own story already. And that, that could be one of the reasons why Yours by KSJ shocked the charts and rose to the top! De! As high as his high notes -- that high! 💖 Confirmed to be the fastest solo song in history to gain 50 #1's on iTunes in just four hours, Yours by Kim Seokjin is definitely a record-buster! And although this is still a piece of developing information, KSJ's Yours already reached Top 1 in 97 countries on the iTunes chart! Plus, he is the first-ever Korean soloist to do this! Clear as the day until the moonlight, my Seokjinnie has set new records because of his solo song outside BTS, his first og soundtrack titled Yours. aAaHhhhh, giving me goosebumps just by writing this! To know more, below are the achievements that Yours by Kim Seokjin has garnered as of November 25, 18 days after the release 💖 First solo song outside the band. Unpromoted by the agencies. And yet? Jin slash Yours surpassed records in just a few hours. And is still breaking awards up until now! Woah, isn't it! This just shows how incredible, talented, and loved Kim Seokjin is! The King of High Notes making me, you, all of us super duper mega extra proud. And come to think of it? It just feels euphoric knowing Jin and the boys, alone and/or together, are soaring wherever they go! Thinking of their accomplishments makes me so much kilig in my bones right now! As in! 💖 Mount Jirisan is believed to be a sacred mountain for hermits who are seeking their truths. Same as Jirisan, it revealed the grandest artistries that are meant to be shared with the world. Showing the creativity of the series, the real beauty of Seokjin's voice, manifested the achievements he and the drama deserve. Everything about Jirisan is legendary, indeed! The mountains, the series, the soundtracks. Just so nakakaproud! Up until the peak of the skies! Really proud of my le-Jin-dary idol, moving mountains from here to there and more. Aigoo! Great decision that I stan the right man, the bestest of the bestest man in the universe for me -- Kim Seokjin 💖
