“I love you, only you”, “Whenever, wherever, you are” Are these lyrics familiar to you? These lyrics are part of the main soundtrack for a drama that has caught the attention and hearts of millions of fans all over the world – Descendant of the Sun. The song is so damn representative of the heartwrenching and touching military drama, with its lyrics that tug at the heartstrings of the viewers. Did you know that this song has quite the background to it?

The singer is half African, half Korean.
Yoon Mirae was born in Texas, USA to a Korean mother and an African-American father. This explains her slightly exotic features and darker skin.

Her father was a DJ.
Well, we guess this is where the singer’s powerhouse vocals and musical ability came from. Her father exposed her to a lot of music since she was young.

Her father was also in the military.
Talk about coincidence! It’s perhaps the most fitting that a daughter of a military officer would sing this soundtrack, since she would be able to express the conflicts and feelings that comes from someone close to a military officer who risks his life for others.

Yoon Mirae is actually more known for her rapping.
She is actually a hip-hop artiste who specialises in rapping. However, we are still in love with her voice that complements the song so well!

The composer is actually an indie Korean band.
Rocoberry is a two-man show, with the girl Roco being the face and singer of the band while the guy Conan preferring to take a backseat behind the scenes and have never been seen publicly before.

The song has reached more than 3 million replays on Youtube.
Although there isn’t an official MV release, the top three unofficial and English-subbed uploads have already garnered more than three million views between themselves. This definitely bears testament to the popularity of both the song and the drama!
