French artist VANS is preparing a new track that blends traditional Korean music with French sensibility.
VANS will release his new single, “FATE,” on August 1 at noon KST across all streaming platforms, delivering a hybrid sound that combines traditional Korean music and R&B.
The new song “Fate” mixes the rhythm of the janggu (a traditional Korean drum) and the melody of the gayageum (a Korean zither) with the laid-back groove of an R&B beat, creating a track that’s both soothing and fresh. This captivating fusion of traditional Korean music and R&B is enhanced by VANS’ smooth vocals, which add a subtle French flair, deepening the emotional impact of the song.
Additionally, the lyrics of “Fate” tell a romantic story that turns a chance encounter into destiny. The song depicts a love that begins with a random meeting on a street in France and how that love drives the protagonist to come to Korea without hesitation, inviting listeners to reflect on fate while naturally drawing them into the narrative.
VANS, who is French, has built his career in Korea as a model, actor, and dancer. He has performed as a dancer for K-POP artists like AKMU and ITZY. This innovative blend of traditional Korean music and R&B shows how a new genre can emerge within K-POP. Following his debut as a K-POP artist with the single “Melody,” there is high anticipation for the musical direction he will take this time.
With this new single, VANS continues to develop his unique musical world. “Fate,” which promises to reach listeners like destiny, will be available on all streaming platforms on August 1 at noon KST.
