Singer Lim Chang-jung has once again reached No. 1 on the music charts with the new song ‘Crazy Guy’.

At 6 p.m. on the 4th, Lim Chang-jung released the new song ‘Crazy Guy’ across various music platforms, and immediately appeared on major music charts upon release, signaling the return of a ‘signature Lim Chang-jung’ premium ballad.

As of 8 a.m. on the 5th, ‘Crazy Guy’ ranked No. 1 on the Kakao Music real-time chart, No. 7 on Melon HOT100(30-day), and No. 16 on HOT100(100-day), entering the upper tiers of major charts upon release. It also ranked No. 49 on the Bugs real-time chart and No. 1 on the Bell365 latest songs chart (as of 9 a.m. on the 5th), showing a broad presence across music charts overall.

Drawing attention even before release for its candid lyrics that anyone who has experienced a breakup can relate to and its bold title, ‘Crazy Guy’ earned favorable listener reviews immediately after it was unveiled. “This feeling is the real Lim Chang-jung” “I want to sing it at karaoke right away” “No. 1 on my playlist this year” are among the reactions continuing to come in.

‘Crazy Guy’ is a ballad that portrays the inner world of a man seized by love and lingering feelings that remain unresolved even after a breakup. It features Lim Chang-jung with his characteristically impassioned vocals and a deepened emotional contour, and the sound built on restrained piano lines and a simple arrangement blends with increasingly explosive vocals toward the latter half to heighten immersion.

With numerous hits including ‘A Glass of Soju’ ‘Then, Again’ ‘Love, Again’ ‘Already Toward Me,’ Lim Chang-jung also placed last year’s releases ‘If I Hold You in My Arms’ ‘I Do Not Want to Miss You, But I Miss You’ on major music charts immediately after release, demonstrating steady presence. This time as well, through ‘Crazy Guy,’ he announced the birth of another classic ballad.

Kicking off his 2026 musical journey with ‘Crazy Guy,’ Lim Chang-jung plans to meet fans through various activities.
