Her ability to adapt her vocals to suit various dramatic contexts continues to elevate her reputation as a versatile artist.

The drama The Fiery Priest 2 revolves around a gripping alliance formed to combat one of South Korea’s most formidable drug cartels. Praised for its tightly woven storyline and compelling performances, the show has captured viewers' hearts. It airs every Friday and Saturday at 10 PM.

Lia’s participation in the OST further enhances the drama’s emotional depth, bridging the narrative and musical elements seamlessly. With its potent lyrics and her commanding delivery, Why Not is expected to resonate not only with fans of the show but also with a broader audience.
