OST Queen Wendy Returns with 'Just One Word' for Jang Ki-yong & Ahn Eun-jin's 'Why Did You Kiss Me?'

'OST Queen' Wendy is set to release a new ballad, 'Just One Word,' for the SBS drama 'Why Did You Kiss Me?', starring Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin.

Donuts Culture, the production company for the drama's original soundtrack, announced that Wendy's second OST track, titled 'Just One Word' ('한마디면 돼요'), for 'Why Did You Kiss Me?' ('키스는 괜히 해서!'), will be released on the 16th at 6 PM.

'Why Did You Kiss Me?' tells the story of a single woman, Go Da-rim (played by Ahn Eun-jin), who pretends to be a mother to secure a job for financial stability, and her team leader, Gong Ji-hyuk (played by Jang Ki-yong), who falls in love with her, leading to a mutual, heart-wrenching romance.

The drama has been generating significant buzz for the romantic pairing of Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin, two of the hottest actors of 2025. Within just two episodes, it has delivered a thrilling narrative with rapid developments including kisses, breakups, and reunions, leaving viewers thoroughly entertained.

Furthermore, 'Why Did You Kiss Me?' has proven its global appeal, ranking second on Netflix worldwide according to FlixPatrol's rankings as of the 13th, captivating audiences beyond South Korea.

Alongside the drama's popularity, interest in the OST is also soaring. Wendy's song, 'Just One Word,' which was partially revealed during the first week's broadcast, is a ballad that expresses the sentiment that a single, sincere word is enough when confessing love, rather than grand declarations.

The warm-toned music and emotional melody are expected to envelop the characters' emotional journeys. Wendy, who has established herself as an 'OST Queen' with her rich emotional expression and clear vocals, is anticipated to perfectly harmonize with the drama's emotional atmosphere with her uniquely warm and resonant voice.

The lyrical verses, such as 'Just one word that you love me / I'm just waiting for you here' and 'Now I know, I can feel it / The love that came to me in an instant,' are poised to make 'Just One Word' a standout love song, deepening immersion into the emotional storyline of Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin, enhanced by Wendy's poignant vocals.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the OST. Netizen comments include: 'Wendy's voice is going to be amazing,' 'Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin's romance with a Wendy OST? I have to listen!', and 'The drama's immersion is going to skyrocket.'
