‘Gwihwaseo, Sahonhwa’ is an OST born from the collaboration between Ahn Ye-eun and kt Milli’s Library, and is also the first novel OST sung by Ahn Ye-eun.Ahn Ye-eun directly participated in writing the lyrics, composing, and arranging the song, and it contains a message of comfort for everyone who must live in the present amidst longing.

●The following is a Q&A with Ahn Ye-eun

Q Please give a brief introduction to the song ‘Gwihwaseo, Sahonhwa’.

A I think I tried to tell a story about ‘how to survive despite the huge gap created by losing a loved one’.I tried to convey the theme of the work well while also including the determination of the living and the consolation of the dead.
It was.

Q What was the part you focused on the most while working on ‘Gwihonseo, Sahonhwa’ ? If you were to pick the lyrics that run through the song’s narrative, what would they be?

A I focused on bringing out the meaning and atmosphere of the novel as much as possible, and added my own impressions to it.As for the lyrics that run through the song’s narrative, I would like to choose the second chorus.It goes from ‘Please live / Please live’ to ‘I want to see you, you, you.’

Q It is unusual to work on an OST based on the content of a novel.Was there a reason you decided to collaborate with’ Naturalization Book, Protect the Last Flower ‘?

A I’m someone who originally liked books a lot and reading is the first thing I can list as a hobby.Also, this is my first time working with ‘books’ as the subject matter, rather than webtoons, comics, dramas, or movies, so it was an exciting first step.

Q How does the process of interpreting a novel into music take place? If so, what are the differences from existing music work?

A When I work on my album, I think it’s like creating it from scratch, but when it comes to working on OSTs or musicals, the difference is that the story is already clear, so it can be done relatively quickly and enjoyably.

Q You have sung many OSTs for works based on original works such as webtoons.What are the unique characteristics of working on songs based on original works?

A Since there is an original work, I try to work faithfully to the original work.When I receive a request to work on an OST or musical, I always work with the hope that the music will fit the original work perfectly, like a tailored suit.
