(G)I-DLE's Minnie is making headlines on music charts with her OST "Like a Dream".

Minnie from (G)I-DLE has captured viewers' hearts with her rendition of "Like a Dream", featured in the recently ended tvN drama 'Lovely Runner'.

"Like a Dream" is a modern rock-style ballad with a medium tempo. Minnie's mesmerizing vocals beautifully convey the emotions of fate and first love between the drama's characters Im Sol (played by Kim Hye Yoon) and Ryu Sun Jae (played by Byeon Woo Seok), adding depth to the drama's storyline.

The song gained popularity alongside key kissing scenes of Im Sol and Ryu Sun Jae, earning it the nickname "Sunjae Kiss Scene Music" among fans. Released in April, "Like a Dream" continues to hold its place on music charts even after the drama's conclusion, showing a resurgence in popularity. It peaked in the top 30 during its airing and remains in the top 100, highlighting its lasting appeal.

Earlier this year, (G)I-DLE made waves with their second full album '2' (Two), particularly with the track "Fate" which climbed charts in February and secured top positions. "Fate" has been recognized as a standout retro-inspired song of the year, maintaining strong chart performance.

Looking ahead, (G)I-DLE is set to release their mini 7th album 'I SWAY' on July 8th, continuing their active promotions throughout the year.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
