Hallyu king Kim Jun-su of JYJ has jumped on the “Descendants of the Sun” craze bandwagon with the release of his newest single, “How Can I Love You,” as part of the drama series’ latest “Part 10” sound track.
The romantic ballad single, which appeared in the penultimate episode of the smash-hit KBS TV drama Wednesday night, was released Thursday and quickly snagged the No. 1 spot on all of the country’s major music sites, including Melon, Naver and Mnet.

The official music video for “How Can I Love You” was also unveiled Thursday.
Junsu is no stranger to lending his vocals to Song Joong-ki’s silver screen roles. In the past the K-pop idol was featured on the OSTs for “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” as well as “Innocent Man.”
“Descendants of the Sun,” starring actor Song Joong-ki and actress Song Hye-kyo is the country’s latest “it” TV drama, even surpassing a number of international ratings of SBS’ record-breaking “My Love from the Star” series, which aired in late 2013.
