Korean netizens were also left in awe of Hanni’s performance and praised her versatility as an artist.
- “Super idol Pham Hanni.”
- “She’s so good.”
- [Deleted Comment]
- “She did so well, and it’s so refreshing. This is crazy. She suits the song f*cking well.”
- “I like her voice a lot.”
- “Nice.”
- “She really has a lot of talent.”
- “Hanni’s voice is so good. Every time she covers a song, the reactions are totally deserved.”
- “This song was also remade by a Korean male singer, right? I think it was a rock singer because the key was really high. It’s been a while since I heard it, haha. She did great!”
- “Personally, I think this suits her even better than ‘Blue Coral Reef’ 😭. So good.”
- “Wow, so refreshing!”
This is, however, not the first time Hanni has gone super viral with a Japanese song cover. During NewJeans’ concert at the Tokyo Dome last month, she created a wave with her cover of Seiko Matsuda’s 1980 hit “Blue Coral Reef.” The song not only saw a spike in sales in Japan, but also climbed charts in Korea’s biggest streaming platform, Melon.
