Figure skater Cha Junhwan and actor Seo Su-min have showcased a youth film-like chemistry in singer Roy Kim's new music video.
On the 11th, the music video for Roy Kim's J-Pop remake project fourth track "Sparkle" was released through his official YouTube channel, drawing attention for the delicate romantic acting of Cha Junhwan and Seo Su-min, who starred as the main characters.
Set in a warm bookstore with a lyrical atmosphere, the music video depicts the fresh process of the two getting to know each other's feelings through notes left between books. Without any dialogue, they perfectly portrayed the emotional line of becoming conscious of a stranger and gradually accepting them as a special presence through just their gazes, expressions, and small actions.
In particular, the visual chemistry combining Cha Junhwan's unique soft and delicate atmosphere with Seo Su-min's innocent charm stands out. Added to this is Roy Kim's passionate vocals that become more overwhelming toward the second half, maximizing the sorrowful and fateful sensibility of the song.
Roy Kim's remake of "Sparkle" is the signature OST from the animated film "Your Name." (original by RADWIMPS), with lyricist Lee Seuran and Roy Kim directly participating in writing the Korean lyrics to bring out the emotion of the original song and the unique beauty of Korean expressions. Roy Kim also showed his extraordinary affection for the track, saying, "I got to remake a song that I truly cherish."
Netizens who watched the music video have been sending enthusiastic responses with comments such as, "To think we can see this combination of Superstar K winner, figure skating prince, and Agent Kim's daughter for free," "Right, it would be a waste for that face to only do sports. Look how fresh the male lead's face is," and "A talent from Taereung that the entertainment industry almost missed."
