A CD featuring TV actress
Park Sol-mi playing the piano will be released in Japan on Feb. 22.
In a story entitled "
Park Sol-mi of '
Winter Sonata' Dabbles in Playing Piano", the Japanese newspaper Sankei Sports reported on Feb. 17, "It became known on Feb. 16 that
Park Sol-mi has debuted as a pianist".
The newspaper said, "Park played the piano for the title song of the Japanese pop band 'Jaja's' second album entitled 'I Love You', which will be released on Feb. 22. She has also performed in a promotional video for this song".
According to the newspaper, "Park debuted as a pianist by accident". In Tokyo in May of last year, Park happened to attend a live "Jaja" concert. She was instantly impressed by the group's music and expressed her desire to play with them even once if possible.
In June of last year, when the group's production of its second album was materializing, a group member who remembered Park's suggestion proposed that Park join them as a guest pianist. Despite her anxiety as an amateur pianist, Park readily accepted their invitation to participate in the recording in August.
The members of "Jaja" gave her praise, saying, "Despite some initial awkwardness during the production, Park and we were in good harmony once the recording began. Her open-hearted style is well reflected in her piano playing".
