'The Moment', sung by Sullyoon and Lily — NMIXX's first unit OST

What happened

Sullyoon and Lily released ‘The Moment’, part 4 of the soundtrack to the Netflix original series Love to Hate You, to streaming services at 6 p.m. KST on 16 February 2023. Newsis and Hankyung TV both reported it the following day, and Hankyung TV quoted their agency JYP Entertainment directly on the release time and the title.

The music video went up the same day on the official YouTube channel of STONE MUSIC, the soundtrack’s label. The video’s title gives the song’s English name as ‘The Moment’. The Bugs credits name Lily and Sullyoon on vocals, Park Geun-chul and Jung Su-min as composers and HowL as lyricist, with a running time of 3 minutes 12 seconds.

Why is it trending?

Newsis called ‘The Moment’ NMIXX’s first unit OST, and Hankyung TV’s headline called it the pair’s first duet since their debut. For Sullyoon it was the first release to carry two members’ names rather than the whole group’s, and an early case of her voice appearing outside the group’s own name.

The timing is part of the record too. Both outlets used the same article to trail NMIXX’s first mini album expérgo, due a month later at 6 p.m. KST on 20 March. This song was the release immediately before that comeback.
