IZ*ONE Member Sakura Releases Cover Of EXO D.O.'s 'That's Okay' On Her Birthday
It was indeed a special 23rd birthday for IZ*One member Sakura as she dropped a new music video for her fans. The new video is a cover of EXO D.O's song "That's Okay." The original song was released in 2019 for SM Entertainment's "Station 3" Project.
Sakura said that this video was a small gift for WIZ*ONE. She covered this specific song by D.O. as she can relate to the lyrics so much. Although it sounded immature to her, she said she had put her heart into this song. She hopes that her fans would listen to it. The comments section of the music video was welcomed with lots of praise and love for Sakura.
