Singer and actress Nam Gyu-ri (42) has offered a warm healing experience to her fans.
On the 26th, Nam Gyu-ri's official YouTube channel 'Gyul-mong' uploaded a video titled 'Ep.44 Reading with Gyul Part.1 | Shall we read a book together? Don't fall asleep, Part.2 | Looking at You Like a Flower by Na Tae-joo (feat. Sleep-inducing ASMR)'.
In the video, Nam Gyu-ri, after finishing her busy schedule, visits a large bookstore to personally select books to read to her fans, showcasing her thoughtful side.
Expressing her excitement, she said, "I've always wanted to do a 'woman reading books' content." She carefully selected six books, including a poetry collection by poet Na Tae-joo, self-help books, and a book by film director Robert Bresson. She then began reading, captivating her fans with her clear and delicate voice.
Particularly, she read a line from Robert Bresson's book, "It is not to doubt what is already within oneself," sharing that it was a phrase she often reminded herself of during the recent filming of her new song 'Love's Greeting 2026', leaving a lasting impression.
Nam Gyu-ri's reading, focused solely on her voice and emotions, provided deep comfort and healing to her subscribers, known as 'Gyulbyeol'. At the end of the video, a cute twist was revealed as Nam Gyu-ri herself dozed off while reading a poem in her gentle voice, bringing smiles to viewers.
The video concluded with the caption "Gyu-ri...?, Goodnight" over her peacefully sleeping figure, perfectly wrapping up the 'sleep-inducing ASMR' content. Nam Gyu-ri's diverse content endeavors are also fueling the success of her recently released song 'Love's Greeting 2026'. Her all-around activities, including cameo and duet videos with close friend Lee Se-young, special support relay from comedian Heo Kyung-hwan and singer Hwang Ga-ram, and intimate communication through the 'Gyul-mong' YouTube channel, stand out.
Thanks to the rich content and overwhelming buzz, 'Love's Greeting 2026' quickly climbed to the top of major new release charts on domestic music sites like Genie Music and Melon, continuing its unstoppable popularity. The song has been praised for its trendy arrangement, combining a sensuous beat with Nam Gyu-ri's clear and emotionally resonant voice, showcasing a new musical spectrum and sophistication.
Previously, the group SeeYa, which Nam Gyu-ri is part of, demonstrated their formidable strength by sweeping the top of major music charts with their pre-release song 'Nevertheless, We' after 15 years.
Meanwhile, Nam Gyu-ri is gearing up for the release of SeeYa's full album in May.
