Japanese Breakfast has released an updated version of Jubilee song "Be Sweet" sung in Korean. Michelle Zauner turned to friends Yaeji, to translate the words from English, and So!YoON! of Seo So Neon, who provides guest vocals. Check out the song below.
“We thought it would be fun to put out a special Korean version of ‘Be Sweet’ preceding our upcoming performance in Seoul," Zauner said in a statement. "Im very grateful Yaeji helped me with the translation over a year ago. So!YoON! is one of my favorite indie artists in Seoul right now and I’m so happy we got to collab."
Japanese Breakfast is currently on a lengthy set of live dates that run until the end of 2022. Earlier this year it was announced that Zauner's best-selling memoir Crying In H Mart will be adapted into a movie. Seo So Neon's latest EP Nonadaptive was released 2020.
