Yoon Do-hyun, frontman of the legendary Korean rock band YB, has publicly shown his support for rising girl band QWER, commending their heartfelt remake of his classic hit White Whale.

"Remake Permission Means Trust"

On October 8, Yoon Do-hyun left a comment on QWER's official YouTube channel under their White Whale special clip. He wrote, "Giving permission for a remake means I trust the artist. QWER's version truly earned that trust."

He went on to praise their musical craftsmanship, saying, "This is an exceptionally well-done remake. It stays in that delicate space—neither too identical nor too different—while still conveying the message of the original. That's never easy to achieve."

"A Work of High Completion"

Yoon continued, "I believe it's a highly complete piece of work. I wish QWER nothing but blessings on their journey. May they transform tears, sorrow, and loneliness into music."

A New Take on a Timeless Song

Originally released in 2011, White Whale was one of YB's most beloved songs, composed by Heo Joon with lyrics by Yoon Do-hyun. The track has long been cherished as a modern Korean rock classic, resonating with listeners for over a decade.

QWER reinterpreted the song with their signature warmth and positivity, delivering a message of comfort and courage—"to overcome fear in a harsh world and set sail toward a wider one."
