Song Ha-ye releases first new song "Happy Me" after marriage announcement... completes love trilogy

Singer Song Ha-ye has embarked on her first official music activity since announcing her marriage to YouTuber and singer Jo Maeryeok. On the 27th at 6 p.m., Song Ha-ye released her new song ″Happy Me (2026 ver.) X The Third Story of Love -Love Song Edition No.3-″ on various online music platforms. ″Happy Me (2026 ver.)″ is a remake of the song of the same name released by Echo in 1997, celebrating the happiness completed by being with a loved one. This song focuses on the emotions that naturally deepen over time together rather than the excitement at the beginning of love, enhanced by Song Ha-ye’s expressive vocals and delicate emotional expression. It conveys the feeling that even an ordinary day becomes special when spent with a loved one, and that familiar daily moments become memories to cherish. This song is the final work in Song Ha-ye’s trilogy of ″Love Stories.″ Previously, ″Stars in the Night Sky (2026 ver.)″ sang about the beginning of love, and ″I Want You″ was about the promise to be together forever. This new song completes the narrative of love’s beginning, promise, and shared life through the happiness found in time spent together. Additionally, the instrumental track ″Thus Our Love Continued″ is included, delivering the lingering emotions of love through piano melodies that words cannot fully express. On the 25th, Song Ha-ye announced her marriage news directly through her SNS, saying, ″I met someone who cherishes me as I am and stands by me at every moment, and we are getting married this year.″ Her fiancé Jo Maeryeok is a YouTuber and music creator with 1 million subscribers. The two first connected in March when Song Ha-ye appeared on Jo Maeryeok’s YouTube channel. They announced their marriage about five months after meeting. Jo Maeryeok also shared on SNS, ″Everything still feels awkward, but we will love each other for a long time and live beautifully together.″ At the time of the marriage announcement, Song Ha-ye said, ″I have always dreamed of, but also feared, the shelter called ’family,’ and now I am going to build it.″ She added, ″I have found someone who makes me want to dream that dream together.″ She continued, ″I will continue to share good music for a long time as a better person and a better singer.″ Song Ha-ye and Jo Maeryeok plan to hold their wedding ceremony this year.
