Who Is Gwyn Dorado? Meet the Filipina Who Sang an OST for "My Royal Nemesis"

My Royal Nemesis just hit double digits on the ratings of its latest episode, cementing it as one of the top K-dramas of today. Fans who watched its latest release will be proud to find out that one of our own took part in its sixth episode through an original OST.

You can hear Filipina singer Gwyn Dorado’s voice playing in the background of a scene with her song "Losing My Heart.” This marks the first time a Filipino singer lent her voice to a K-drama’s official soundtrack.

So who exactly is Gwyn Dorado? Let’s meet the talented Filipina who’s captivated South Korea with her immaculate vocals.

Gwyn’s claim to fame came from her participation in the Korean singing competition Sing Again 4. She went viral in early 2026 for her spectacular voice, which drew praise from its esteemed Korean judging panel that included SNSD’s Taeyeon, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, and veteran singer Baek Ji Young. Out of 81 contestants, Gwyn finished the show in second place just behind champion Le Oh Wook.

After the show, Gwyn appeared as a guest on the famous Korean variety show Knowing Bros where the hosts called her a “genius from the Philippines.” She also revealed in the episode that her love for music started at a young age, playing piano at five and learning guitar at just eight years old.

Gwyn completed her high school education at the University of Santo Tomas under the Music, Arts, and Design strand. She also spent a semester of college at the school’s Faculty of Arts and Letters, according to an article from UST’s official student publication The Varsitarian, who wrote about her success in South Korea.

Years before Sing Again, Gwyn first competed on Asia’s Got Talent at just 10 years old. For her audition, Gwyn impressed judges Anggun, David Foster, Melanie C, and Vanness Wu with her fiery rendition of Katy Perry’s “Roar.” She ended up in the final five, losing out to grand champions El Gamma Penumbra, a shadow play group from Batangas.

After Asia’s Got Talent, Gwyn moved to a homeschool setup for a while so she could juggle her studies with theater. Her credits include a role in the 2016 Annie musical and a 2017 production of The Sound of Music as Luisa Von Trapp. Years later, she would express her interest to still pursue acting with a dream of being cast in Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, and Hamilton.

When it comes to singing for a drama’s soundtrack, this isn’t Gwyn’s first rodeo. In 2019, she recorded an OST for the movie Pansamantagal starring Gelli de Belen and Bayani Agbayani. She also recorded  “Shooting Stars,” “For You,” and “Home” for the Filipino romantic comedy Happy Times.
