"Fall of a Fine Voice" is a song recorded by South Korean boy group Anomii featuring rapper Lady Ruby, for their first single album Ongi 온기 (2026). Released in December 2025, the indie pop song was written by Choi Jaewon, Benjamin Castro, and Nam Hyunwoo, and was produced by SYNTHIA and Nae Sieun. The lyrics, which the members describe as their most vulnerable song so far, revolves around a boy's unspoken message to a friend who had taken their own life from depression. The song was performed for the first time at the 2025 Hangang Artistry Awards, accompanied by members of the band The Last Children of Presagia.
A sleeper hit, "Fall of a Fine Voice" became Anomii's first breakthrough in South Korea, peaking at #4 on the Circle Digital Chart. The song received acclaim from music critics, who praised the song's lyricism and production that was timely for the winter season. The song's music video, which was banned from public broadcast due to its sensitive nature, was also credited for causing a resurgence in discussions about the prevalence of depression and suicide among South Korean teenagers. The song became Anomii's first song to be certified Platinum by the Korean Music Content Association (KMCA), after surpassing 100 million cumulative streams nationwide.
MUSIC VIDEO[]
The music video for "Fall of a Fine Voice" was directed by filmmaker Choi Bora and was filmed in residential neighborhoods across Daegu, South Korea. The video primarily stars members Nam Hyunwoo (Seongbin) and Song Wonchan (Kevin) as leading roles. The video was banned from broadcast on public broadcasting stations such as MBS and KBS due to its sensitive nature, tackling topics of fragile friendships, depression, and xenophobia. Music journalist Chun Miyeon described "Fall of a Fine Voice" as one of the darkest and unfiltered K-pop music videos she has ever watched.
The music video opens with 18-year-old Seongbin, who is online friends with Kevin, a same-aged student who is studying at a university in his city. The two bond over their mutual dislike for university life as well as shared interests in indie music and video games, with Seongbin also helping Kevin with Mathematics coursework and Kevin helping Seongbin with learning English. At the same time, Seongbin develops a romantic attraction towards Ji-hye (played by Lee Joonhee of Lilylee), his female coworker at the restaurant he worked in. Seongbin and Kevin finally meet at a restaurant on the former's 19th birthday and become closer friends, but as weeks pass by, Kevin mysteriously stops talking to Seongbin. Seongbin frustratingly keeps trying to message the latter, asking if he had done anything wrong, but to no avail.
One night, Seongbin catches Kevin and Jihye hugging, and out of jealousy, aggressively confronts Kevin over the phone later and accuses him of using their friendship to get closer to Jihye. Kevin tries to explain that they were just friends and that Jihye was consoling him over personal struggles. Seongbin refuses to believe Kevin's excuse and it turns into a violent conversation, which culminates in Kevin calling him a personally triggering insult before dropping the phone. Out of anger, Seongbin anonymously joins a large Telegram group chat within Kevin's university, and proceeds to spread false rumors about him. Days later, he receives a video of Kevin being beat up and taunted with derogatory slurs by a group of male students in an alleyway, and rushes to Kevin's apartment to apologize and take responsibility, but ends up seeing an ambulance, finding out that Kevin had taken his own life just hours after the incident. The final shot consists of Seongbin standing on the rooftop of his highrise building with a cold expression, holding the handwritten letter that Kevin gave to him on his birthday.
