Renowned rhythm game composer LeeZu has sadly passed away. He was a beloved fixture of the DJMAX series since his debut. Fans are currently remembering his legacy through his final track, IWTEYI.

The rhythm game community is mourning the loss of 'LeeZu' (Lee Jun-young), a composer who gifted us with countless iconic tracks over the years.
Composer Xeon (Wang Jung-hyun) shared the somber news on his social media on the 4th, stating, "My friend and a composer for DJMAX whom we all love, LeeZu, has embarked on a solitary journey." He added, "Please remember the music he left behind and offer your condolences so he does not feel lonely on his way. May he rest in peace."
LeeZu first made his mark on the scene with DJMAX Technika 2, operating under the alias 'P'sycho-Remi.' He carved out a unique niche by blending blistering rock sounds with electronic textures, showcasing a versatility that spanned numerous genres across his solo albums and collaborative works. He continued to be a mainstay in the series, contributing consistently to various titles including the DJMAX series and Tapsonic Bold under the name LeeZu.
Beyond the studio, he was a familiar face who engaged warmly with fans through his YouTube channel and the DJMAX community. His contribution, the track 'IWTEYI,' was featured on the DJMAX Entertainment compilation album 64514, released in June 2025, and has since been added as a playable track in DJMAX Respect V.

오랜 리듬게이머들에게 다양한 명곡을 선보인 작곡가 'LeeZu(이준영)'가 세상을 떠났다.
작곡가 Xeon(왕정현)은 지난 4일, "저의 친구이자 우리가 사랑하는 DJMAX의 작곡가 LeeZu님이 홀로 먼 여행을 떠났다"며 자신의 SNS를 통해 부고 소식을 전했다. 이어 "그가 남긴 많은 곡을 기억해 주시고 가는 길 외롭지 않게 추모해 주시길 부탁드린다. 삼가 고인의 명복을 빈다"고 밝혔다.
LeeZu는 디제이맥스 테크니카 2에서 'P'sycho-Remi라는 명의로 참여를 시작한 작곡가다. 강렬한 록 사운드와 일렉트릭 장르의 결합을 통해 자신만의 곡을 선보였으며, 다양한 개인 앨범과 참가곡을 통해 다양한 장르를 소화해냈다. 이후 LeeZu 명의로 디제이맥스 시리즈와 탭소닉 볼드 등 다양한 작품에 참여하며 꾸준한 활동을 이어나갔다.
아울러 다양한 유튜브 채널과 디제이맥스 커뮤니티를 통해 유저들과 적극적인 소통을 진행한 바 있다. 지난 2025년 6월 발매된 디제이맥스 엔터테인먼트의 두 번째 컴필레이션 앨범 64514에서는 신곡 'IWTEYI'를 선보였고, 해당 곡이 디제이맥스 리스펙트 V에 플레이어블로 수록된 바 있다.
