After making a record-breaking debut in 2020 and having unimaginable success since, monster rookies aespa from SM Entertainment are now working on SM’s tribute to veterans S.E.S. The group will soon be releasing a "Re: Masterpiece" of 'Dreams Come True’, a 1998 hit by S.E.S.

Aespa is now one of the biggest rookie groups in the industry as the group has won 2 Daesangs within twelve months of their debut - an unprecedented feat for a rookie group. And this makes them the ideal candidates to reinterpret a K-pop classic.

Back in June, SM Entertainment announced their “Remastering Project” wherein the label said they will be refining and remastering 300 old songs from the ‘First Generation of K-pop’ and which were only telecast on television in South Korea.

For the project, veteran SM groups like H.O.T, SHINHWA, S.E.S, Fly To The Sky, TVXQ along with soloists like BoA will have their songs remastered.

To kickstart SM's “Remastering Project”, monster rookies aespa will collaborate with soloist and singer BoA for a ‘Re: Masterpiece’ version of S.E.S’ ‘Dreams Come True’. BoA will not only help with the production of the single but also with the choreography and visuals. The single will serve as the pre-release song for ‘2021 Winter SMTOWN: SMCU EXPRESS’, a project from the label which is to be released on December 27.
