This week it helped "Love Story", originally on the way out of the top 20, moved up nine spots instead into the top 10. “Love Story” is about a love story between a man and a woman in which they go through different stages in their relationship. The lyrics express the different emotions very well and the melody fits perfectly with the winter atmosphere. Unlike Jewelry’s dance songs, “Love Story” showcases the members’ strong vocal and rap skills. Jewelry will recruit two new members soon. We wish Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young all the successes in their solo careers.
