On March 4, Studio Maeum C, which heads the department producing the original soundtrack for Twenty Five, Twenty One, confirmed that TWICE's Jihyo was selected to lend her voice to the sixth OST for the Korean drama.

"TWICE's Jihyo has been confirmed as the singer of 'Twenty Five, Twenty One's sixth OST 'Stardust Love Song.' Please look forward to hearing Jihyo's voice challenging her first solo OST since her debut."

The melody of the guitar and vocals will evoke warm and fuzzy feelings of love and tenderness in the hearts of listeners.

The song is also expected to showcase TWICE Jihyo as the main vocalist in the K-pop group by blending in her mellifluous voice.
