According to the South Korean 1st Marine Division, a self-composed song written by Akdong Musician's Chanhyuk was selected by the committee as their official military song. Until March, the Marine Corps had held a contest to receive original entries to be chosen as the military song.
Chanhyuk is currently serving his compulsory service in the Korean Marine Corp. When asked why he voluntarily submitted his song, Chanhyuk answered that he "wanted to record everything he felt while [he] lived and served in the marines (as an officer)." For the lyrics of the song, which was titled as "Only Victory Will Brightly Illuminate Us", Chanhyuk wrote, "Away with fear, only victory will brightly illuminate us."
Netizens praised Chanhyuk for "simply being cool," and for breaking the prejudice of the people who thought of him as "looking too physically weak to be in the marines".
Chanhyuk's official discharge is in May 2019.
