15 K-Pop Songs You Probably Didn’t Know Are Actually Remakes Of Other Songs

1. BTS‘s “Coffee”

Urban Zakapa released “Drinking Coffee” in 2011 and the song was a big hit with fans.

Then, in 2013, BTS decided to cover the song and released their own version!

2. Taeyeon‘s “Atlantis Princess”

The original song by the same name was sung by BoA in 2003.

13 years later, Taeyeon remade this song as one of her first activities as the official face of the mobile MMORPG Sword and Magic.

The track was used as an advertisement for the game and she sang “Atlantis Princess” at various venues to promote the game.

3. Oh My Girl‘s “Listen To My Word (A-ing)”

In 2000, the girl group Papaya released “Listen To My Word”. The song was cute and well-loved upon its release.

In 2016, Oh My Girl decided to remake the song and put their own unique twist on it.

Their track featured Skull and Haha, as well as a reggae vibe that proved just right for its summertime release.

4. Red Velvet‘s “Be Natural”

The original song received a lot of love when it was released in 2000 by S.E.S.

Seulgi and Irene were fans of the song and had previously performed it when they were still a part of SMROOKIES. So it shouldn’t have been a big surprise when Red Velvet announced they were doing a remake of the song in 2014!

5. Girls’ Generation‘s “Girls’ Generation”

Lee Sung Chul‘s hit “Girls’ Generation” has been covered by various artists since its release in 1989.

While it seems pretty obvious that Girls’ Generation should sing a song called “Girls’ Generation”, some fans may not know that the group’s name was actually derived from the song!

6. SUPER JUNIOR‘s “Happiness”

H.O.T released the bubbly and cheerful “Happiness” in 1997.
