FILIPINO band Ben&Ben recently announced it would release a collaboration with Young K of the Korean band Day6.
In a Twitter post, the indie folk band said it would drop a new version of its 2017 song “Leaves” featuring Young K this midnight.
“We reimagined ‘Leaves’ this year with a surprise collaboration from an artist we really love,” Ben&Ben said in another Twitter post, referring to Day6’s bassist, rapper, and vocalist.
Last year, Ben&Ben gained popularity in South Korea after several K-pop idols revealed they listened to the Filipino ensemble.
“Leaves,” in particular, topped the search chart of Melon, South Korea’s biggest music streaming site.
Ben&Ben earlier this year made a special appearance at an online K-pop concert, where hosts Jacob Bae and Kevin Moon – members of the idol group The Boyz – confessed they were fans of the band.
