Singer Jeong Dong-won has found a way to stay connected with his fans despite being stationed at a Marine Corps base. Just three weeks after his military enlistment on February 23, the beloved trot prodigy is set to release a new OST track for a hit KBS weekend drama — a gift he prepared before trading his microphone for military fatigues.

According to OST production company Nyam Nyam Entertainment, Jeong Dong-won’s ballad “You Are My Everything” (그대는 나의 모든 것) will be released on March 14 at 6 PM KST across all major music platforms. The track serves as the second OST for KBS2’s weekend drama Love Prescription (사랑을 처방해 드립니다).

A Pre-Enlistment Gift to Fans

The timing of the release has struck a deep chord with fans, who have been counting the days since Jeong bid farewell to civilian life. The singer had quietly completed the recording sessions before entering the Marine Corps, ensuring that his voice would reach audiences even during his absence from the spotlight.

The song was already previewed during Episode 9 of the drama, where it was inserted as background music and drew an immediate positive response from viewers. The official single release will allow fans to stream and download the full studio version for the first time.

From Trot Prodigy to Versatile Artist

Jeong Dong-won first captivated the nation as a teenage sensation on TV Chosun’s Mister Trot, where his powerful vocals and mature stage presence belied his young age. Since then, he has expanded his artistic identity considerably, launching an alternative K-pop persona under the name JD1.

Through JD1, Jeong has explored genres far beyond traditional trot, demonstrating a versatility that has broadened his fan base across generations. His ability to move seamlessly between heartfelt ballads and contemporary pop showcases a musical range that few artists his age possess.

Keeping the Connection Alive

Military service is a reality for all Korean male entertainers, and it often means an extended period away from fans and creative work. Jeong’s decision to record the OST before enlisting reflects a thoughtful approach to maintaining his artistic presence during this mandatory hiatus.

For the millions of fans who follow Jeong Dong-won’s career, “You Are My Everything” is more than just a drama soundtrack — it is a reassurance that their favorite singer’s voice will continue to resonate, even from behind the walls of a military barracks. The track drops on March 14, and anticipation is already building among both drama viewers and the singer’s dedicated fanbase.
