Na Yeong Joo and Lee Song Hyun Shine in Dreamy Outdoor Cover of ‘Not a Dream’

On April 1st, Na Yeong Joo and Lee Song Hyun, finalists from reality talent show ‘THE DDANDDARA’, unveiled a stunning cover of Not a Dream—originally performed by Korean traditional music artist Song Sohee—through their YouTube channel DDDD 25.

The video immerses viewers in a warm, springtime ambiance. Styled in soft-toned dresses paired with vividly colored cardigans, the pair showcased fresh and flourishing charm, with sleek cinematography and trendy visual effects enhancing the performance’s authenticity and appeal.

Their rendition offers a reinterpretation of Not a Dream, blending ethereal vocal tone with a touch of modern gugak (Korean traditional music), crafting a sonic experience both emotional and innovative. The result is a soundscape that uniquely bridges tradition and pop, proving their strong growth potential as artists.

The duo is part of the final top 5 ensemble from ‘THE DDANDDARA’—Na Yeong Joo, An Youngbin, Yu, Lee Song Hyun, and Cho Hyejin—who have been showcasing multifaceted talents through cover video series ‘DDANDDARA Play’ on the DDDD 25 channel. Past vocal covers by members including An Youngbin and Cho Hyejin have received enthusiastic response from fans worldwide. Uniquely, Na and Lee’s latest project marks the first outdoor shoot for the series, signaling a creative turning point and evolution for the group.

Earlier this year, THE DDANDDARA top 5 signed exclusive contracts with INNIT Entertainment, a subsidiary of JYP Entertainment focused on nurturing entertainers across singing, acting, and variety. With this new partnership, the anticipation continues to build for their broader emergence in the Korean and global entertainment scene.
