Singer Ha Jin-woo is releasing “Please Please Don’t Leave,” an OST for the webtoon “The Reason I Die.” This track is designed to maximize the emotional narrative of the story.
Ha Jin-woo has stepped up as the voice for the “The Reason I Die” OST. The song “Please Please Don’t Leave” was released today, May 22, at noon across various online music platforms.
The OST is a pop ballad that captures the desperate desire to hold onto a love even while knowing it is coming to an end. With lyrics like “I pretended not to notice how you were gradually changing as time passed” and “The time we spent together, the memories, the love, all our days cannot disappear in an instant,” the song realistically portrays the desperate feelings of someone trying to ignore reality in the face of a crumbling relationship.
The repeating chorus “Please Please Don’t Leave” serves as a sorrowful cry for a final love, blending perfectly with the tragic narrative of the webtoon to provide a deep sense of immersion. The song delicately unravels the emotions of a character wavering between life and death, love and loss, further intensifying the work’s emotional arc.
Ha Jin-woo showcases his wide expressive range, moving from a calm introduction to building emotions that eventually explode into powerful high notes, deeply touching the listeners. His appealing and soulful tone is expected to vividly convey the longing and regret of a person facing a breakup.
Having debuted in 2015 with his first single “HOME,” Ha Jin-woo has received much love from the public for his soulful voice and unique sensibility, and he continues to be active across various OST projects.
The webtoon “The Reason I Die” follows the episodes of Jian, an ordinary college student who gets caught up with suspicious people and dangerous events, and Woo-ju, who constantly protects him. It is currently gaining popularity for its unique concepts and exciting plot.
Ha Jin-woo’s “Please Please Don’t Leave” is now available on all major online music sites.
