A popular web series in 2019, Dear My Name, featured a song. She was playing with a high school student looking for her soulmate. The drama is based on the assumption that (almost) everyone has on their body a “tattoo” of the name of their soul mate, which sparkles when you meet the person in question.

Most recently, Song appeared in 2020 as the female lead in the music video for Nive’s How Do I. In her career, she appeared in a bunch of commercials as well.
