Lucy member Choi Sang-yeop, known as 'the genre-less OST master,' sends support to the youth dreaming of their future.
Choi Sang-yeop will release a special soundtrack 'HIGHLIGHT' for the webtoon 'Garbage Time' today (Nov. 11) at 6 p.m. through various music streaming sites.
'Garbage Time' is the first Korean high school sports webtoon, depicting the story of a new coach arriving at the basketball team of the high school, often regarded as the weakest in the nation. It has gained immense popularity, recording over 360 million cumulative views as of 2024 and an average of 1.4 million views per episode, resonating well with the 1020 MZ generation.
'HIGHLIGHT,' sung by Choi Sang-yeop, is characterized by its refreshing band sound. The song contains the theme of characters, who have not received attention in the webtoon, overcoming challenging situations in cold reality and growing. Choi Sang-yeop's unique charming voice and hopeful lyrics are expected to enhance the immersion of the webtoon.
In particular, Lucy, to which Choi Sang-yeop belongs, has established itself as a 'symbol of youth' by delivering messages of courage and hope to youth worldwide through music, drawing even more attention. Moreover, as Choi Sang-yeop has perfectly mastered various genres of OSTs, the news of this special collaboration with the popular youth webtoon 'Garbage Time' is garnering significant interest.
As a testament to this, a special video created by the author of 'Garbage Time' was surprise-uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Garbage Time High School Basketball Association' in March to commemorate the 6th anniversary of its publication. The soundtrack 'HIGHLIGHT' has been included, receiving a positive response, with many fans saying, "As expected from Lucy. They really nail youth songs," "The song featuring Choi Sang-yeop's refreshing voice fits incredibly well with the webtoon," and "The exhilarating feeling unique to Lucy is truly the best."
Lucy, which is set to release its mini album 'Wajangchang' on the 23rd, will hold its seventh solo concert 'Wajangchang' for three days from May 2 to 4 at Hwapung Gymnasium at Korea University in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. Following this, on the 9th, all tickets for the third performance sold out in just 8 minutes, further proving that Lucy is once again 'the ticket guarantee of the performance industry.'
Meanwhile, the special soundtrack 'HIGHLIGHT' for the webtoon 'Garbage Time,' sung by Choi Sang-yeop, will be released today (Nov. 11) at 6 p.m. through various music streaming sites.
