Director Nam Tae-jin spoke about a drama produced in connection with AtHeart's new song.

On the afternoon of the 19th, AtHeart's second single '3! 4!' release commemorative showcase was held at Rise Autograph Collection in Mapo-gu, Seoul. AtHeart, director Nam Tae-jin, and dancer Lee Kim attended the event.

The 'Time Travel Project' is a global remake project that reinterprets classic songs that received worldwide acclaim upon their 1996 release through AtHeart's unique style.

AtHeart expands its universe beyond music with '3! 4!' into a time-slip K-pop adventure drama titled '3+4!', bridging 1996 and 2026. The drama features actors Hyun Bong-sik, dancer Lee Kim, and Lula Charina, with director Nam Tae-jin handling both direction and screenwriting.

On this day, Director Nam Tae-jin stated, "In 1996, there were three members, while in 2026, the members are different. We aimed to convey distinct colors for each era. AtHeart in 2026 is portrayed with a sophisticated feel, while the 1996 members display a freer image, so we created atmospheric differences."

He continued, "AtHeart members appear as themselves, and Lee Kim appears as herself. Their very presence constitutes their identity," adding, "Even if Zendaya or Tom Holland had asked to appear, I would have refused."

Meanwhile, AtHeart's second single '3! 4!' will be released at 6 p.m. on the 19th through various music platforms.
