Sponge Cola releases 'Siguro Nga,' a song inspired by K-drama series 'Start-Up'

Sponge Cola just dropped a new song and it was inspired by "Start Up" — specifically, Han Ji-Pyeong.

"Siguro Nga" is the product of vocalist and guitarist Yael Yuzon's love for the character, who was well-loved by many fans of the the Korean drama.

"Immediately after the shock of episode 9, I literally picked up a guitar and began writing the song," Yuzon said in a statement.

"I didn't know how the story was going to unfold, but at that point, I felt like it wasn't going to work out for Han Ji Pyeong's character. And while heartbreak wouldn't ravage him, it leaves him with an undulating kind of pain," he added.

According to the statement, the song is a nuanced character study of a man "realizing that he’s lost the love of his life, after spending a great deal of time living a lie to protect the person he’s pining for, from emotional harm and trauma."

The inspiration hit Yuzon in the middle of the recording phase of their upcoming album, set to be released next year.

He shared that the process of making the song was "a bit more theatrical than what we're accustomed to."

"As a singer, I had to be in character, which made the recording process a bit grueling," he said.

"I also had to face someone looking at me with ‘those eyes’ while pretending to be fine. Couple that with the idea of multiple takes, it was tiring but ultimately fulfilling," he added.

Sponge Cola’s "Siguro Nga" is out now on all digital platforms worldwide. —JCB, GMA News
