Aespa is remaking "Regret of the Times," the hit single by K-pop group Seo Tai-ji and Boys.

Part of SM Entertainment’s “Remastering Project," aespa's remake of the song will be released via major music platforms on Jan. 15 at 6 p.m., according to the entertainment agency.

Aespa’s music video for the remake will be unveiled on SM’s YouTube channel at the same time.

An alternative rock song with energetic band sounds and anti-establishment lyrics, “Regret of the Times” (1995) is a K-pop classic.

Aespa brings its own twist to the single with its unique and powerful vocal, according to the group's agency.

SM’s “Remastering Project” is a joint project with YouTube that began in 2021 with the aim of shedding new light on K-pop releases from the 1990s and 2000s with remakes of their music videos and songs.

The first work in this project was the legendary K-pop boy group H.O.T’s debut single, “Age of Violence.”
