Singer Ahn Ye-eun is remaking Kim Wan-sun‘s representative song.

Ahn Ye-eun will release the digital single ‘Pierrot Laughs at Us’ through various music sites on the afternoon of the 30th.

‘Pierrot Laughs at Us’ is a song released by Kim Wan-sun in 1990, which became a huge hit at the time with its sophisticated performance. Ahn Ye-eun reinterpreted the original song as a story about a clown from the Joseon Dynasty, inspired by the fact that the Korean word for ‘pierrot’ is ‘clown’.

In particular, the latter half of the song includes the lyrics “Even if I’m born again, I‘m a clown, a clown / Without a doubt, I’m a clown, a clown / I had fun in that damn world / Let‘s meet again as clowns””, and Ahn Ye-eun’s direct participation in the Korean traditional music-style arrangement creates a unique charm.

Ahn Ye-eun‘s remake was done through the web entertainment show ‘Backpack Busking 2’. This is a busking program that travels around Yeongjongdo, Ganghwado, and Ansan, and the solo song ‘Pierrot Laughs at Us’ that Ahn Ye-eun performed while busking has been released as a digital music source.

Meanwhile, Ahn Ye-eun will be holding a solo concert ‘Monday Project Season 8: Try Again’ at Nodeul Island Live House in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on April 17. Before that, Ahn Ye-eun will release a remake of ‘Pierrot Laughs at Us’ through various music sites today (the 30th) at 6 PM.
