Released on February 11th, “Stay Alive” made an explosive debut, immediately setting and breaking records. The song is the official soundtrack for 7FATES: CHAKHO, BTS’ original webtoon series in collaboration with Naver Webtoon and HYBE. The webtoon has captured the imagination of readers worldwide with its futuristic, myth-based storyline and dynamic characters based on BTS members. Now on episode 5 and releasing new chapters every Saturday, 7FATES: CHAKHO has already established a strong fanbase and “Stay Alive” serves as the emotional heartbeat of the narrative.

Written and produced by SUGA, “Stay Alive” offers a deeply immersive soundscape that brings the story of 7FATES: CHAKHO to life. Jungkook’s ethereal voice floats through the track with raw emotion, portraying feelings of isolation, struggle, and hope. The synergy between SUGA’s cinematic arrangement and Jungkook’s powerful vocal delivery creates a song that resonates far beyond the screen or page.

His presence on Billboard’s Hot Trending Songs chart confirms his standing as a global musical powerhouse, even outside the traditional promotional cycle.

As the webtoon continues to unfold each week, “Stay Alive” remains a defining part of its identity a reminder of BTS’ unmatched ability to blur the lines between music, narrative, and emotional experience.

“I’m BTS’s SUGA, and I’m Agust D, and when I’m producing, I go by “by SUGA.” But when it comes to by SUGA, I make perfectly commercial music. I’m the producer for those songs, sure, but the owner is someone else, you know? In that case, they’re commissioning my work. But they wouldn’t think about just leaving it all with SUGA. The artist’s label has to think carefully about whether to commission me for producing and consider my situation, too, and those people must be hoping for something commercial. That’s the most important part of working with outside people. Actually, that kind of work isn’t much of a benefit to me, to be honest. Oh, he can write this kind of song, too. That’s all. The more valuable thing I can get from it is the recognition and records the artist or the company will get with the song instead.” SUGA
