K-pop-rock singer Woosung on new song ‘Lazy’ and why he writes music
Best known as the lead singer and electric guitarist of Korean rock band The Rose, Woosung dropped Lazy on June 24, into which he brings some of his pandemic mindset.

Featuring rapper Reddy, Lazy is a bit of a trick; the narrative turns as you listen to it, from wanting to enjoy laziness to eventually overcoming it. With its hazy summer groove and conversational monologue, it’s essentially an ode to being lazily restive so that you can also be proactive.
“I think it wasn’t like one particular person or thing that I was talking to,” Woosung says. “It could be very internal, like you’re talking to your lazy self. ‘Shut up, I’m not going to be lazy any more.’ Sometimes you have to be hard on yourself if you’re being lazy. It could also be about someone else. For me, I never write songs about one particular person, but more a general thing.”
In regards to The Rose, he mentions:
It’s also the first since The Rose parted ways with their former label, J & Star, in February 2020, during which they filed a contract dispute lawsuit against the company. Currently, all band members except Woosung are enlisted in South Korea’s armed forces, as per the country’s mandatory draft requirements. The release of Lazy is in fact long overdue, delayed until things were sorted out with J & Star.
“Everything’s been figured out,” Woosung says of the lawsuit. “We’re not under contract with anyone any more. The [other] members are in the army and we’re waiting for them to come out. That’s all I can say.” While he’s unable to confirm any details, Woosung assures that The Rose plan to remain together.
