[News] Jang Geun Suk sings for new drama 'Mary' OST

Actor, singer and model Jang Geun-suk is about to remind fans once more of his multi-faceted talents.

The 23-year-old has contributed three songs to the OST for his latest KBS drama ``Mary Stayed Out All Night,’ affiliated management company Y-Tree Media announced Monday.

``Jang Geun-suk sings three songs on the soundtrack,’’ a spokesperson said. ``The first song `Butak-hae, My Bus!’ will be released today.’’

Jang plays the role of Kang Moo-gyeol in the drama, a vocalist in an indie band who gets caught up in a love triangle. The song `Butak-hae’ comprises lyrics that detail a symbolic conflict between the character’s reality and the ideal world, according to Y-Tree.

``Jang Geun-suk is an actor with amazing singing abilities and vocal skills,’’ said music director Choi Cheol-ho, who worked on the song.

The actor has been known to sing in dramas and advertisements, although he has yet to produce a full album release. His rise to fame came with his role in the drama ``You’re Beautiful,’’ in which he played another musician opposite Park Shin-hye. Since then the star has performed in several broadcasts since, such as the series ``Beethoven Virus’’ and the feature film ``The Case of Itaewon Homicide.’’

``Mary Stayed Out All Night’’ begins airing Monday, following the show ``Sunkyunkwan Scandal.’’
