Gaho's "Start" became known through the Itaewon Class OST, but its narrative energy is complete even without the visuals. The song begins quietly with piano, then as Gaho's vocals climb, drums, guitar, and strings join in sequence and explode. The sense of liberation at the moment that buildup is completed is arguably the entirety of this track. Gaho's voice isn't simply high — emotional grain stays alive even in the upper register, a delivery carrying both desperation and conviction simultaneously. The lyrics hold the will to start again even after defeat and frustration. The song knows that not giving up is not romance but a desperate choice. Few tracks in the Korean drama OST market have created this scale of emotional ascension, and it maintains independent vitality even after the drama ended. On the day you decide to start something over, or right before going for a run after a long nap, this is the song that works most honestly when played.
