Catch The Young are back and have released a new remake single of the 90s rock ballad classic, 발걸음 (FOOTSTEPS) by Emerald Castle. Originally released in 1997, the song reflects the pain of a breakup and the hope of starting again. Its emotional melody and beautiful lyrics have made it a beloved classic in South Korea, covered by many artists over the years.

It is an honor to release a remake version of a well-loved classic in our name. Just like the song title, it will be a new ‘footstep’ for Catch The Young. With that in mind, we’ll work hard on preparing our full-length album until the day we share it with the world. – Namhyun, Vocalist of Catch The Young 

For this remake single, Catch The Young stayed true to the original atmosphere of the track but reinterpreted it to naturally align with a more contemporary sound. The guitar solo in Catch The Young’s version was carefully arranged to recreate that ’90s sound, while the vocal delivery focused on combining the original song’s identity with more modern emotional expressions. Through this approach, the remake preserves the original version’s honesty and presents a new version that is filled with Catch The Young’s style.

It is very exciting to be able to remake a classic song with our own colors. I hope Catch The Young’s ‘발걸음 (FOOTSTEPS)’ would help you heal and resonate with all of your inner emotions. – Kihoon, Guitarist of Catch The Young 

2025 has been a year full of activities for Catch The Young. While releasing four singles: You, Always (2025), The Young Wave, Ideal Type, and In Your Arms, the group performed at two of the biggest music festivals in Korea, the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival and the Jeonju Ultimate Music Festival (JUMF), for the second year in a row. In September, the band was also invited to perform at the Sound Planet Festival 2025. As the year draws to a close, Catch The Young is currently preparing for the release of their first full-length album, which is filled with the band’s original sound and characteristics, widening their potential and growth as the next leading band in Korea’s rock music scene.
