Bansanka (Korean Ver.)

shgold Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Seoul, South Korea; CEO: Yasuo Nukagawa) announces the launch of the 'J-POP REMAKE' project, a new initiative connecting the Japanese and Korean music scenes by reimagining iconic Japanese songs through the unique artistry of top Korean musicians. As the landmark first release of this project, the Korean-language version of 'Bansanka' sung by South Korea's leading solo artist Taeyeon (TAEYEON) will be released worldwide today, June 29, 2026 (Mon), at 6:00 PM, with both audio and the full music video available simultaneously across all major music streaming platforms and official channels.

Taeyeon Reimagines the 500 Million+ Streaming J-POP Hit 'Bansanka' with Her Unparalleled Voice The song, released globally today at 6:00 PM, is the official Korean cover of 'Bansanka'—the debut single by Japanese singer-songwriter tuki., released in September 2023. The original track has become one of the most iconic hits in today's music scene.

Since its release, the original 'Bansanka' rapidly gained viral popularity through word-of-mouth, surpassing 500 million cumulative streams and amassing over 170 million views on its YouTube music video, setting unprecedented records both domestically and internationally. In April this year, tuki. held her first solo concert in Seoul, 'tuki. 1st ASIA TOUR 2026 in SEOUL,' with tickets selling out immediately upon release—demonstrating her immense popularity and strong fan base in South Korea.

For this remake, top-tier artist Taeyeon, renowned for her one-of-a-kind voice and exceptional vocal prowess, takes the lead. She preserves the original song's lyrical and emotionally nuanced narrative—capturing the quiet moment of a couple sharing a meal despite having decided to part ways—while naturally adapting the poetic flow of the Japanese lyrics into Korean with its distinct emotional depth and rhythmic cadence. The result is a masterpiece that delivers fresh emotion to fans of the original and a profound, novel resonance to new listeners.
