Kickflip releases OST for webtoon 'Youth Revelation'

KickFlip, capturing the excitement of youth, returns with 'Youth Revelation' OST

KickFlip, a boy group under JYP Entertainment, translates the emotions of Naver Webtoon's popular teen romance 'Youth Revelation' into music. KickFlip's OST 'Everyday, Everynight' was released on the 8th at 6 PM through various online music platforms.

This track translates the narrative of unexpected cohabitation and the blossoming love and friendship between the high school protagonists, Cheong-ah and Yo-han, from the webtoon 'Youth Revelation' into musical language. Containing a sincere confession to a person who stays on one's mind all day, the song plainly depicts the true feelings of youth who no longer want to remain just friends.

The sound composition is also noteworthy. It features a groovy beat with the impact of 808 bass, layered with warm and soft synthesizer sounds to create a multi-dimensional atmosphere. Combined with KickFlip members' signature refreshing vocals, the song is evaluated to have maximized the fresh and vibrant energy of youth.

Collaboration between Music & New and Naver Webtoon: The Musical Scalability of Webtoon IP

This project is part of a musical cooperation business conducted by Music & New, a comprehensive content production and distribution company, and Naver Webtoon. The two companies have been expanding their influence in the market by presenting high-quality OSTs using the powerful IP (Intellectual Property) of webtoons.

In fact, the collaboration lineup is impressive. Major Naver Webtoon works such as 'No Office Romance!', 'Killer Peter', 'Roughly a Campus Romance', 'Pure Villain', 'Our Age of Nine', and 'Accidentally Soulmates' have already been given musical clothing through this project. The participating artists are also illustrious. Skilled artists spanning various genres, including THE BOYZ, SHINee's Taemin and Onew, Yuju and Yerin from GFRIEND, Song Ha-ryung of fromis_9, Billlie, DAY6's Young K, LUCY, DinDin, Yang Da-il, and Blase, have been the protagonists of this project.

KickFlip's participation goes beyond simply singing a song; it reaffirms a model where proven webtoon IP and artists with strong fandoms combine to create synergy.
