BTOB’s Lim Hyun Sik is making waves globally with his emotional OST See The Light for the hit drama When the Phone Rings.

The song, which was officially released on November 30, 2024, has quickly climbed the ranks and entered the top 10 on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, securing the 10th spot as of January 4th.

See The Light is featured in key scenes of When the Phone Rings, a secret romance thriller starring Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin. The drama has captured the hearts of viewers worldwide, and the OST has played a big part in its success. The song’s piano and guitar elements, combined with a powerful instrumental buildup, enhance the drama's emotional moments and leave a lasting impression.

Since its debut, When the Phone Rings has been dominating rankings on platforms like Netflix, and the OST’s success on Billboard just a month after release shows the global impact of the series.

The soundtrack also features other popular tracks like Hwasa's I Feel It Now, Lim Yeon’s Breath, Jae Yeon’s Is It Okay If I Love You, and Suran’s Hear Me Out, all receiving positive feedback from fans both in Korea and internationally.

When the Phone Rings will air its final episode on January 4th, bringing an end to the gripping drama, but its OST will surely continue to resonate with audiences around the world.
