Seo In Guk expressed his desire to work with emerging Filipino talent Francine Diaz

In a serendipitous encounter during Seo In Guk's record-breaking fan meet in Manila last year, a unique collaboration was born. The K-drama sensation and multi-talented artist, Seo In Guk, expressed his desire to work with emerging Filipino talent Francine Diaz. 

The catalyst for this collaboration was a casual dinner meeting between In Guk and Francine's manager, John Ling.

During the dinner, the multitalented South Korean actor was captivated by Francine's rendition of “Pag-Ibig,” which resonated deeply with him. Despite any initial doubts Francine may have had about her singing prowess in comparison to In Guk's 'magical' voice, the seasoned singer sensed a dynamic synergy between them.

It’s a grand collaboration that nobody saw coming. Seo In Guk shared his enthusiasm for it, saying, "The song's content is about love, so I worked on it, thinking, 'Wouldn't it be fun to make it like a conversation that talks about love and goes back and forth about love?' and that process was just so much fun… I'm very thankful that I got to do that with Francine," as reported by Metro.Style.

The result of this unexpected collaboration is the upcoming single "My Love," released on March 2, 2024 under Universal Records. The track promises a magical blend of Seo In-Guk's seasoned artistry and Francine Diaz's emerging talent, creating a melody that speaks directly to the heart.

Fans can anticipate a refreshing take on love as the song unfolds in a unique conversation-style format, offering a delightful twist to the traditional love song. It can even pass as a heartwarming and healing series OST.

In addition to his collaboration with Francine Diaz, Seo In Guk has recently achieved another milestone with his latest accolade in the K-drama series "Death's Game," where he takes the lead alongside a stellar cast. Furthermore, In Guk showcases his versatility as the lead actor, Edmond Dantes, in the Broadway musical "Monte Cristo," a production that can now be streamed on various digital platforms.

"My Love" is not just a musical collaboration but a testament to the unexpected beauty that can arise when artists from different corners of the world come together. Seo In-Guk and Francine Diaz invite fans to join them on March 2 magic of "My Love," a melody that indeed celebrates the universal theme of love and romance.
