Shin Yong-jae Leads Star-Studded Nine-Artist OST Lineup for Film We Are Every Day

Acclaimed vocalist Shin Yong-jae has been tapped as the first artist to contribute to the original soundtrack of the upcoming Korean film "We Are Every Day," marking the beginning of what promises to be a musically rich cinematic experience. Hanteo Global, the sole investor behind the project, announced on March 4 that the first OST track will be released the same day at 6 PM KST across all major music streaming platforms.

The opening track, titled "Maybe This Is the Beginning of My Love," is a romantic ballad that captures the delicate, transparent emotions of love in its earliest moments. Known for his deeply expressive vocal style, Shin Yong-jae brings a layer of emotional depth to the song that mirrors the characters tender feelings in the film. Industry observers have noted that his signature plaintive tone is perfectly suited for a youth romance narrative.

A Nine-Artist Musical Journey

Shin Yong-jae is just the first of nine artists set to participate in the film OST project. Hanteo Global has indicated that the remaining artists span diverse genres and generations, with each contributor bringing a distinct musical color to complement the film emotional arc. The tracks and their performers will be unveiled sequentially in the lead-up to the theatrical release, building anticipation among both music and film fans.

A Hanteo Global representative stated that the company leveraged its K-pop big data capabilities to curate the soundtrack lineup, aiming to create a high-quality musical accompaniment that enhances the storytelling. The representative added that fans should look forward to experiencing the charm of this independently produced content through both the music and the film itself.

From Webtoon to Silver Screen

"We Are Every Day" is a youth romance film based on the popular webtoon of the same name by artist Gaedaerae. Hanteo Global first committed to the project in 2021, making a sole investment decision before partnering with ToB Pictures for production. The film was completed some time ago, but the team spent an extended period searching for the optimal release timing.

The project finally secured its path to theaters after signing a distribution deal with J&C Media Group in 2025. The collaboration combines Hanteo Global expertise in K-pop data analytics with J&C Media Group distribution network, a partnership both companies expect will generate significant synergy.

Star-Studded Cast Draws Attention

The film has attracted considerable buzz thanks to its cast, which includes rising actor Lee Chae-min in his screen debut alongside Kim Sae-ron. Lee Chae-min has been one of the most talked-about emerging talents in the Korean entertainment industry, and his first big-screen role has generated high expectations among audiences. The film five-year journey from conception to release has only heightened public curiosity, with fans eager to see the final product after such a lengthy development period.

With a carefully curated soundtrack led by Shin Yong-jae compelling vocals and a cast that has already captured public attention, "We Are Every Day" is positioning itself as one of the most anticipated Korean film releases of the season. As additional OST tracks and promotional materials roll out in the coming weeks, the project is expected to continue building momentum ahead of its theatrical premiere.
