As an actor, it must be a bit surprising to know that Shim Ji-ho is a good singer, but he is! He sang on the OST for his own romantic drama named Family, also known as Shut Up Family, which aired from Monday to Friday in KBS back in 2012. The drama also starred ex-Sistar member Dasom, Park Ji-yoon, and Park Seo-joon. A lot of fans loved the interactions between Shim Ji-ho and Park Hee-von in this drama.
By that, he proved to everyone that he is not only good at acting, but he also has a beautiful voice. In this drama, he played as Cha Ji-ho and sang the song with his romantic interest Yeol Hee-bong who was portrayed by Park Hee-von. Their couple name on the drama is BongJi which is a combination of Hee-bong and Ji-ho. Cha Ji-ho is a bachelor that works in E Cafe and meets Hee-bong, a girl that has a lovely yet funny character. It seems like the shippers of this couple loved this song a lot.
Look at how sweet they are in the song “You & I Together!” Just hearing the lyrics makes us want to fall in love, am I right?
