aespa released a new song 'Rich Man' remix version. Today (19th) at 1 PM, the remix version EP 'Rich Man (Remixes)' of aespa's 6th mini album title track 'Rich Man' was released, reinterpreted and expressed by four artists with different personalities: Yellow Claw, DPR CREAM, h4rdy, and DPR ARTIC, each in their own style. The 'Rich Man (Yellow Claw Remix)' version by the Dutch DJ and producer duo Yellow Claw perfectly fuses their signature sound with the original, creating a remix track that coexists with majestic energy and strong impact reminiscent of clubs and festivals. In particular, the music video for 'Rich Man (Yellow Claw Remix),' released simultaneously on the SMTOWN YouTube channel, was produced through collaboration between SM Entertainment and Studio Real Live using Google's AI video generation technology 'Veo' and the film production tool 'Flow.' It expressed a fantastical visual beauty that transcends the boundary between reality and imagination, embedding interesting elements for fans throughout the video, which received positive acclaim. The 'Rich Man (DPR CREAM & h4rdy Remix),' reinterpreted by DPR CREAM, known for their original music color combining R&B, hip-hop, and pop, and h4rdy, a capable producer pursuing trendy UK sounds, harmoniously blends DPR CREAM's delicate melodies with h4rdy's intense UK sound, highlighting the addictive parts of the original while intersecting unpredictable rhythm changes, emotional developments, and explosive drops that elevate the track's tension and energy until the end. DPR ARTIC's 'Rich Man (DPR ARTIC Remix),' a member of the DPR crew at the forefront of various music projects, cleverly varies the original's vocals and words while immersing listeners with a strong driving force, conveying refreshing energy with an energetic rhythm and bouncy sound while adding a heavy mood and tension, giving the entire song a new color. Thus, this 'Rich Man (Remixes)' expands the energy of the original song, offering an overwhelming sound experience that embodies the fusion of K-POP and electronic dance music, invigorating the global music market. The 6th mini album 'Rich Man' released on the 5th sold over 1.11 million copies in pre-orders alone, achieving aespa's record of seven consecutive million-seller records.
