Jungkook managed to outperform new releases from prominent pop artists, including Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, and Nicki Minaj. ‘Stay Alive’ also joins V’s ‘Sweet Night‘ as the first and only Korean OST to top UK iTunes.

‘Stay Alive‘ is a dreamy ballad that matches the story and atmosphere of ‘7 FATES: CHAKHO’, depicting the battle between humans and tigers in a city on the brink of collapse. This song completes the ‘CHAKHO’ collaboration in a deeper way.

The guys created the song based on the actual synopsis of ‘7 FATES: CHAKHO‘ and the webtoon sketch to create a delicate sound with Jungkook’s sad voice to make the story more vivid.
