Jay Park recently announced that he is preparing to make a comeback into Korean hip-hop with an all rap album and he is ushering in his return by appearing on the soundtrack of tvN's "Oh My Ghost." The AOMG co-founder will lend his voice to "Eyes," a track which follows the Park Bo Young song "Leave."
A representative for the "Oh My Ghost" production team at CJ E&M, provided a statement about his appearance on the soundtrack, in a report published by Sports Donga.
"Park Bo Young's 'Leave' was originally supposed to be the last song from the 'Oh My Ghost' soundtrack, but Jay Park's 'Eyes' will be released on part 4 on August 14," said the spokesperson.
An article published by the 10Asia outlined the musical composition. "Eyes" embodies a fusion of classical, hip-hop and jazz. The track samples Symphony no. 2, movement 3 from Rachmaninov to create a somber atmosphere, highlighting the conflicted emotions of the characters.
The 28-year-old Korean-American hip-hop artist has received increased attention through his appearance as a judge on the popular Mnet program, "Show Me the Money 4." "Eyes" follows the release of singles "Mommae" and "My Last," which thrust Jay Park back into the musical limelight.
"Oh My Ghost" stars Park Bo Young as Na Bong Sun, a sous chef who aspires to master culinary arts. She harbored an unrequited crush on Kang Sun Woo (Cho Jung Seok), a celebrity chef who dislikes her meek and apologetic personality. Their relationship evolves when Bong Sun is possessed by Shin Soon Ae (Kim Seul Gi), a virgin ghost who used to run a popular family restaurant.
"Oh My Ghost" will conclude its 16-episode run on August 22.
