The Korean translation follows a reimagined version of the song done in collaboration with Day6’s Young K, released last May. The collaboration sent them to the top trending spot of the charts of Korean music streaming service Melon.
Ben&Ben has often shown its admiration for K-pop, as demonstrated by its previous performances of songs in Korean, including those of BTS, EXO, Twice, Seventeen, GOT7, IU, Red Velvet, NCT Dream and Day6’s “You Were Beautiful.” In turn, Ben&Ben has a following among K-pop fans and artists alike, with Young K earlier stating that he considers “Leaves” a favorite Ben&Ben song.
Ben&Ben recently released the songs “Upuan” and “Magpahinga” in celebration of their fourth anniversary. The band, known for the hit songs “Lifetime” and “Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay,” among others, is expected to release a new album this year. DC
