Park Bo-gum and Jinyoung Reunite for ‘Misty Road’ Duet Celebrating 10 Years of Love in the Moonlight

The former co-stars will release a new duet version of “Misty Road,” the beloved OST track written and composed by Jinyoung for the hit 2016 drama.

Ten years after Love in the Moonlight became one of the defining Korean dramas of 2016, Park Bo-gum and Jinyoung are returning to its world through music.

The two former co-stars have recorded a new duet version of “Misty Road,” one of the drama’s best-known original soundtrack songs. Music content company Most Contents announced that the remake will be released on September 23 at 6 p.m. KST through major online music platforms.

The collaboration carries particular meaning because it brings together the actor who led the drama and the artist who originally created the song.

Why This Collaboration Means More Than a Standard OST Remake

“Misty Road” was originally performed by singer BEN for the Love in the Moonlight soundtrack. Jinyoung, who portrayed Kim Yoon-sung in the drama, participated in both writing and composing the track.

Its restrained melody and emotional lyrics became closely connected to the drama’s themes of longing, sacrifice and love complicated by social position.

For the 10th-anniversary version, Jinyoung is no longer working only behind the scenes. He will sing the song alongside Park Bo-gum, who starred as Crown Prince Lee Yeong.

The remake therefore reunites two central members of the original cast while allowing them to reinterpret a song that accompanied their characters’ stories a decade ago.

Park Bo-gum Returns to the Drama Through Music

Park Bo-gum has previously demonstrated that music is more than a promotional side project for him.

During the original broadcast of Love in the Moonlight, he performed “My Person,” another major song from the soundtrack. The track highlighted his warm vocal tone and strengthened the emotional connection between the actor and the drama’s musical identity.

His participation in the new version of “Misty Road” creates a direct bridge between the drama’s past and its anniversary celebration. Instead of simply appearing in a commemorative interview or reunion photograph, Park is revisiting the production through a performance that viewers can continue listening to after the anniversary ends.

The release also arrives as the original cast reconnects for the drama’s 10th anniversary. Park Bo-gum, Kim You-jung, Jinyoung, Chae Soo-bin and Kwak Dong-yeon recently reunited for a special trip, giving longtime viewers another opportunity to see the cast together.

Jinyoung’s Role Makes the Remake Especially Personal

Jinyoung’s involvement gives the project another layer of authenticity.

Along with playing Kim Yoon-sung, a talented and emotionally restrained scholar from an influential family, Jinyoung contributed directly to the drama’s soundtrack as a songwriter and composer.

That dual role allowed him to understand both the production’s emotional atmosphere and the perspective of its characters. His return to “Misty Road” is therefore not simply a singer covering a successful OST. It is the song’s original creator revisiting his own work after ten years of experience as an actor, musician and producer.

Listeners can expect the duet to offer a different emotional texture from BEN’s original recording. The remake places two male voices associated with the drama at the center of the song, potentially transforming it from an expression of private longing into a shared reflection on the story and the years that have passed.

Why Love in the Moonlight Still Matters 10 Years Later

First broadcast by KBS2 in August 2016, Love in the Moonlight followed the romance between Crown Prince Lee Yeong and Hong Ra-on, a young woman forced to live under a male identity inside the royal palace.

The drama helped strengthen Park Bo-gum’s status as a leading actor and introduced international audiences to a cast that would continue building major careers across television, film and music.

Its appeal came from more than the central romance. The series combined political conflict, coming-of-age themes, friendship and sacrifice with a soundtrack that became inseparable from its most emotional scenes.

“Misty Road” remains one of the songs most closely associated with that atmosphere. Reviving it through Park Bo-gum and Jinyoung offers longtime viewers something familiar without simply reproducing the original.

The Project Will Also Support a Charitable Cause

The anniversary release extends beyond nostalgia.

According to Most Contents, proceeds generated by the remake will be donated. The decision turns the song into a way for the cast and production team to return some of the support the drama has received over the past decade.

That charitable element also gives the project a purpose beyond commemorating a television milestone. Fans who stream or purchase the remake will not only be revisiting the drama but also contributing to the initiative connected to its release.

Park Bo-gum and Jinyoung’s version of “Misty Road” will arrive on September 23 at 6 p.m. KST.

For viewers who first discovered the pair inside the palace walls of Love in the Moonlight, the duet promises something more meaningful than a conventional reunion. It allows two artists to return to the same song with ten additional years of experience, memories and emotional distance behind them.
