In 2014, he sang a duet '사랑한다 말하는건' (Saying I Love You) with Club Soul, for the KBS drama My Dear Cat's OST.

In 2015, he sang 머리핀 (Hairpin) for the OST of drama Romance for 7 Days, a collaboration drama between Korea's CMB and Hong Kong's TVB. Ji Suk-jin released this song in both Korean and Chinese versions, the Chinese version being called 发卡 which is very well received in Mandarin-speaking regions, reaching the 6th position on the Chinese Baidu music charts.

Also, Ji Suk-jin has recently been known for his rendition of the Chinese song 童话 (Fairy Tale). It was first performed at the Running Man Special Live in Taipei fanmeeting in January 2015, which garnered many positive responses about his accurate Mandarin pronunciation and melodious vocals. The original singer of the song, Michael Wong, also known as 光良 (Guang Liang), also praised Ji Suk-jin for his rendition. Wong subsequently invited Ji Suk-jin to be the performing guest for his Taipei concert in May 2015, where they performed 童话 (Fairy Tale) together.
