The song Summer, featured as Part 7 of the OST for the tvN weekend drama Love on a Narrow Bridge (사랑은 외나무다리에서), became available on major music streaming platforms on December 15.

Summer is a heartfelt ballad that captures the enduring beauty of love that remains unchanged despite the passage of time. Opening with a delicate piano melody, the song builds to a crescendo with its warm and moving composition. Liz's crystalline and pure vocals enhance the emotional depth of the track, immersing listeners in the story’s romantic themes.

Demonstrating her vocal prowess, Liz has once again showcased the range and expressiveness that have solidified her position as an essential member of IVE. A representative from the production team remarked, "Liz continues to prove her musical versatility and emotional depth. Her unique voice, broad vocal range, and impeccable control make her indispensable to IVE’s music, and she brings the same level of excellence to this OST."

Known for her signature parts in IVE’s hits, often referred to as "paradise parts" by fans, Liz's contributions have gained widespread acclaim. Her appearance on the 2022 music content Limousine Service has also garnered over 3.85 million views, underscoring her enduring popularity.

The drama Love on a Narrow Bridge follows the story of two individuals, Seok Ji Won (played by Ju Ji Hoon) and Yoon Ji Won (played by Jung Yoo Mi), who are born into feuding families on the same day with the same name.

As Liz transitions into solo projects like this OST, she continues to captivate audiences with her ability to convey emotion through her distinct voice. Fans and critics alike are lauding Summer as a testament to her musical growth and her capability to leave a lasting impression beyond her group activities.
