The soundtrack for the current hottest Korean drama, โDescendants of the Sunโ of a steady viewership of 30 percent, has been killing all the Korean music charts ever since it was on 
air. It is not uncommon to go to restaurants and cafes in the Los Angeles Koreatown and find out that the soundtracks are repeated in the playlists.
Spring is often recognized as a romantic season for many Koreans who plan things to do with their loved ones when spring approaches. When spring time comes every year, many artists release albums that have sweet and light melodies that are perfect to listen to with your darlings while walking in flower fields and lying on the grass at the park.
Theย group 10cm released a 15 second teaser for their new song which hinted atย the lovely melody and the title “I Like Spring” and arousedย curiosity. However, the next day on April 1st, it was found out that it was a little April Fool’s joke, and theย song title was actually โDo you like Spring?โ Playing the opposite of the expected lovely spring-themed songs that are released during this time of the year, the song lyrics expresses the envy or perhaps anger at the couples who are enjoying spring. The anger is expressed by lyrics such as: โis spring that lovely for you stupids?โ; โare cherry blossoms that pretty for you fools?โ; โdonโt hold hands, donโt link arms, donโt hug, donโt do anythingโ; โI wish you get dumpedโ; โflower petals eventually fall, and you will too.โ This song with funny lyrics has enticed people who perhaps are single and strongly relate to the expressed emotions.This song passed all the soundtrack for the โDescendants of the Sunโ and was marked as number one on most music charts such as Melon, Genie, Naver music, Mnet, Bugs and Soribada.
