Previously, AKMU’s Suhyun and D.O. performed a brief cover of Rewrite The Stars. During that episode, Suhyun shared a lighthearted moment, expressing her long-held desire to cover the song after watching the movie but lamenting the lack of suitable male vocalists around her. Her brother, Chanhyuk, was beside her as a co-MC at the time. Now, nearly a year later, her wish has finally come true with the release of their full cover track together.
