In an unprecedented move, Korean superstar Seo In Guk has teamed up with Filipina and Star Magic actress Francine Diaz to release a song collaboration, “My Love.”
Seo In Guk, known for his recent roles in “Death’s Game” on TVING and Amazon Prime Video, as well as his lead role in the musical “Monte Cristo,” has been a constant presence in the music scene since launching his singing career after winning Mnet’s talent reality show “Superstar K” in 2009. He’s made his mark in the music industry with standout singles like “BeBe” (2016), “Distant Fate” (2021), and “My Love” featuring RAVI (2022).
Francine Diaz, having won over fans with her acting prowess, has already taken a few steps into the music realm, such as with her track “Pag-ibig” in 2019 and her recent collaboration with Jamie Rivera on the song “Faith, Hope, and Love” in December 2023. Now, she is poised to expand her presence in the music industry through this collaboration.
This collaboration began when the Filipino management headed by John Ling, who is also Francine Diaz’s co-manager, was introduced to Seo In Guk backstage at a fan meet. Over a dinner night, Seo In Guk proposed the idea of collaborating with Francine Diaz. His assurance to guide her through the process sparked the creation of “My Love.”
The pop song, recorded last month in South Korea, will soon have its music video released. In February, “My Love” will be launched on Spotify and will be available on all major online platforms. Additionally, the song is in the works to be tied up with a Filipino record label.
The lyrics to “My Love” were written by Seo In Guk, Pak Kyung Hyun, and Mo Sang Hoon. The song was composed by Seo In Guk, Pak Kyung Hyun, and Mo Sang Hoon, while the arrangement was done by Pak Kyung Hyun.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF EACH OTHER
“When I first met Francine, I was very happy. I could see that she’s nervous when she entered the studio and I find that very cute. But we were able to carry out the recording smoothly, we were able to bond, we got together and it was a lot of fun. It was a big opportunity for the both of us to work together,” shared Korean superstar Seo In Guk.
“Actually, ‘nung una kong kita kay Oppa In Guk, I felt intimidated. Kasi he’s a Korean superstar and as someone na hindi naman masyado kilala worldwide unlike him but for me, usually my supporters are from the Philippines talaga. So, hindi ko din in-expect na he will choose me. Kaya din ako na-intimidate kasi parag ‘what do I have ba?’ Pero it felt nice. He was really nice. Hindi niya pinaramdam sa akin na may heirarchy, walang ganun. It’s just me because I was really nervous but tinulungan niya ako every step,” answers Francine Diaz.
Don’t miss the excitement as Seo In Guk and Francine Diaz bring you a musical masterpiece with “My Love”!
