Seoul, Korea – Vocal powerhouse Lee Hyuk is set to captivate listeners once again, stepping up as the first artist for the innovative ‘Wish+’ music connect project. His much-anticipated remake of “Love That Makes Me Live” (나를 살게하는 사랑) drops today, offering a profound reinterpretation of a beloved classic.
Released on January 18 at 6 PM KST, this new rendition of “Love That Makes Me Live” originally graced the screens in 2018 as the OST for the KBS2 drama “Mrs. Cha Dal-rae’s Love,” sung by Geum Jan-di. While the original conveyed the pure, breath-like essence of an undeniable love, Lee Hyuk infuses it with his signature calm and composed vocal delivery, significantly amplifying its emotional depth.

Often celebrated as a “high note representative,” Lee Hyuk truly shines in this track, revealing a captivating vocal tone that sometimes gets overshadowed by his powerful technique. We are told his nuanced rendition will undoubtedly mesmerize audiences. He delivers lines like, “Love that makes me live / Love without any reason / Stay there, don’t go far / I will suffer for you,” with such profound emotion, ensuring maximum immersion for every listener.
Beyond this latest project, Lee Hyuk has been incredibly active across various platforms, engaging with fans through:
- 🎤 Solo releases including “Don’t Know a Man,” “You,” and “Even if We Meet Again Next Time.”
- 📺 Original Soundtracks for dramas like “UDT: Our Neighborhood Special Forces” and the film “Father-in-law and Son-in-law.”
- 🌟 Appearances on variety shows and popular YouTube content, showcasing his versatile charm.

The ‘Wish+’ project itself is a beautiful concept, symbolizing the continuation of music imbued with wishes. It’s a thoughtful collaboration that reinterprets cherished melodies, adding a fresh layer of emotion to the songs we yearn to hear and the stories artists long to tell.
As a Gen-Z editor, I’m always looking for artists who aren’t afraid to re-imagine classics, and Lee Hyuk just nailed it with this soulful rendition. His ability to deliver such profound emotion while still sounding so effortlessly cool is genuinely inspiring.
We highly recommend streaming Lee Hyuk‘s “Love That Makes Me Live” starting January 18, 6 PM KST, across all major online music platforms. Prepare to be moved.
