The trending group izna met the popular webtoon 'Operation Name: Pure Heart' to create an emotional synergy.
izna (Mai, Bang Ji-min, Coco, Yoo Sa-rang, Choi Jung-eun, Jeong Se-bi) participated in the Naver Webtoon 'Operation Name: Pure Heart' OST 'Psycho', which was released on the 18th on various online music sites.
'Psycho' is a song that expresses increasingly confusing and inescapable emotions through repetitive melody lines and witty lyrics. It is a mellow drum & bass genre that highlights the blend of intense drums and dreamy synth pads, and the transition from the pre-chorus to the Jersey club rhythm stands out.
Although it is izna's first participation in a webtoon OST, their distinctive fresh and bright timbres breathe vitality into the entire song and add to the work's appeal. In particular, they delicately convey the confusion and endless thoughts felt when falling in love through their vocals, enriching and intensifying the characters' emotional lines and narrative in the work.
The making video released alongside the music contains izna's behind-the-scenes in the recording studio. About 'Psycho,' izna said it is a song whose mysterious and bouncy sound is attractive, as if you are inside a game, and noted that it suited them perfectly so they sang it earnestly. It also includes mini interviews that showcase izna's candid yet everyday charm, earning positive responses from fans.
The webtoon 'Operation Name: Pure Heart' was the winner of the excellence award in Naver Webtoon's 2021 'Greatest Contest' and is a work set against a unique worldview that 'the amount of love each person will receive in their lifetime is predetermined.' Thanks to its refined retro-style artwork and appealing characters, it consistently ranks high among Saturday webtoons and is loved by readers.
izna released their second mini album 'Not Just Pretty' and proved their musical growth, and on the 8th and 9th they held their debut fan concert 2025 izna 1st FAN-CON 'Not Just Pretty' to engage closely with fans. Recently, they surpassed 100 million cumulative streams on the world's largest music streaming platform Spotify, proving their global influence and powerful presence.
