Seeing great potential in Eric Nam's vocals, Sooman offered him an opportunity to show off his vocals without anyone else to sing along with him. It'll be his first ever solo, a soundtrack for a very popular drama featuring iconic actor Hyunbin and Ha Jiwon. Nam called it the Korean version of Freaky Friday with a side of romance.
Hyunbin as always does a great job acting as the arrogant CEO. Nam remembered him as that pretentious guy from Sam-soon.
He was so shocked meeting the actors in person. He managed to score some few pictures at a formal lunch break. Once he read the lyrics he was given to sing, he took a deep breath and sang his heart out. He thought about his ever growing crush, Ailee and imagined him singing his heart to her.

"That's very impressive Nam-ssi. I see why the public adores you." Hyunbin complimented him.
"O-Oh wow thanks Hyunbin sunbae. It's truly an h-honor to work with you sir! You're such a good actor!!" Nam bowed a few times.
