PlayV’s EnHo, Tours’ Jihoon, Ailet Wonhee, BoyNextDoor’s Taesan, KiKi Kiya and more join the trend, alongside Seungmin (Stray Kids), Seungyoon (WINNER), Yuju (GFriend), Woogi ((G)I-DLE), Paul Kim, Minseok (Melomance), Heize, and others.

The title track, Loving Heart Has No Sin, from Soran’s EP [DREAM], released on October 17, has sparked a widespread social media response as fans reinterpret the song through the Samae Challenge. The trend has evolved beyond a simple challenge, turning into a musical moment where diverse artists reimagine the track with their own voice.

The challenge lineup reads like a who’s who of 5th-gen idols and established acts alike, including PlayV’s EnHo, Tours’ Jihoon, Ailet Wonhee, BoyNextDoor’s Taesan, and KiKi Kiya, among others. In addition, musicians from across genres—Stray Kids’ Seungmin, WINNER’s Seungyoon, GFriend’s Yuju, (G)I-DLE’s Woogi, Paul Kim, MeloMance’s Minseok, and Heize—have contributed their unique tones to the reinterpretations.

Across SNS, fans comment enthusiastically, with responses noting new live interpretations and fresh textures that breathe new life into the original. Common reactions include calls for a full, studio version, appreciation for different vocal colors, and comments on how the autumn mood fits the song. The collaboration of the track and the challenge is drawing attention from both fans and music media, expanding the song’s reach beyond the band’s traditional audience.

Previously, Soran had already generated lighthearted engagement with the April digital single challenge for “Your Appearance,” and the Samae Challenge continues to demonstrate how their music travels between genres and platforms. The EP DREAM, released on October 17, offers a warm, autumn-tinged sound that resonates with listeners revisiting “loved moments.”
