Originally introduced ( link ) In February, the webtoon Dead Mansion began with "The Savior" serving as its opening theme song. This tune was composed in the alternative metal rock genre, with heavy guitar riffs and powerful drumming that mirrored the intensity of the story's world. The lyrics of this track told of the protagonist's journey, their struggle, and their ultimate salvation from fate.
Earlier this year, the Korean rendition of "Billlie" was met with considerable acclaim from fans worldwide. In response to this success, the group has now released a Japanese adaptation, giving Japanese fans their own unique perspective on the story. This release comes before the official launch of the webtoon in Japan on June 1st.
Tsuki, a Japanese member of the group, participated in writing the Japanese lyrics.
Originally serialized in Naver Webtoon since 2024, Dead Mansion has been drawn by Hoi and written by Haetae and SGT. WEBTOON describes the story:

Our orphans are schooled under the finest instructors, ensuring they meet your highest expectations and are sure to impress. However, these guardian angels come with a steep price tag. Perfection, after all, is a cruel mistress. Would you like to see the catalog now?
