"OST"

Also known as "Original Soundtrack," an OST refers to songs written specifically for a Korean drama. Stars often lend their voices for drama OSTs, which can help with the promotion of a show. Since idols regularly take acting roles in dramas, they sometimes participate in the soundtracks too. It's also common for a member of a group to sing on the OST while another member acts in the drama. For example, in this summer's drama Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, Baekhyun of Exo plays a supporting role and sings "For You" with fellow members Chen and Xiumin for the OST.
