About When the Stars Gossip
This sci-fi romance is set in a zero-gravity space station and delves into the lives of its residents as they tackle daily challenges, form relationships, and navigate unforeseen crises. The story focuses on two main characters:
Gong Ryong (played by Lee Min-ho): An OB-GYN visiting the station on a seemingly routine trip, but with a hidden secret mission. He is connected to Korea’s powerful conglomerate, MZ Group, as its future son-in-law.
Eve Kim (played by Gong Hyo-jin): The perfectionist commander of the space station, enforcing strict safety protocols. Her dynamic with Gong Ryong brings unexpected romantic sparks amid the high-stakes setting.
Adding to the tension is a meteorite crisis that threatens Earth, transforming the station into a place of refuge and survival. The drama’s gripping narrative is brought to life by a stellar creative team, including:
- Director: Park Shin-woo (It’s Okay to Not Be Okay)
- Writer: Seo Sook-hyang (Don’t Dare to Dream)
- Creative producer: So Jae-hyun (Secret Forest)
The supporting cast includes Oh Jeon-se, Han Ji-eun, and Kim Joo-hun, promising a compelling ensemble performance.
Jin’s OST Legacy and Recent Achievements
This will mark Jin’s third drama OST, following his success with “Yours” from Jirisan (2021) and “It’s Definitely You,” a duet with fellow BTS member V for Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth (2016). His OST “Yours” topped iTunes charts in over 90 countries, including the United States, and fans are expecting a similar impact for his latest contribution.
Since his military discharge in June 2024, Jin has been actively engaging with fans through various projects. He released his first solo mini-album Happy on November 15, which debuted at No. 53 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and climbed to No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album sold over 900,000 copies in its first week, marking a new career high.
In addition to his music, Jin has also showcased his variety show skills, appearing on I’m Glad You Got a Good Rest, K-Star Next Door, and Handsome Guys. Recently, he confirmed a regular role in the Netflix original variety show Daehwanjang Gianjang, set to premiere in 2025.
A Perfect Match for the Drama
With his soulful voice and emotional depth, Jin’s participation is expected to amplify the drama’s intense and romantic moments. As the story unfolds against the backdrop of space exploration, fans are eagerly awaiting how his music will complement the series’ unique atmosphere.
