Singer and actress Nam Gyuri announced her return as the queen of digital music by topping the music charts with a solo remake.
Nam Gyuri's new song, "Greeting of Love 2026," released at 6 p.m. on the 19th, not only grabbed the No. 1 spot on the latest releases chart of major domestic music site Genie Music immediately after release, but also shot up to the top ranks on major real-time charts such as Melon, demonstrating her staying power.
That the song topped the charts as soon as it was released despite the long time since the original was released proves that Nam Gyuri's distinctive sensitivity and vocals still resonate with the public.
Along with strong chart performance, a surprise duet video released on the 20th also captured fans' attention. In the video, SeeYa member Kim Yeonji appears first and perfectly delivers "Greeting of Love 2026." Nam Gyuri then makes a surprise appearance from behind, embraces Kim Yeonji and draws a sweet heart, creating a lovely chemistry. Ahead of SeeYa's full-group comeback in May, this showed the two women's unchanged friendship and loyalty, giving fans a warm emotional moment.
Reactions to the music video are also hot. Actor Lee Seyoung, known to be a close friend of Nam Gyuri, makes a cameo to lend support. Lee Seyoung's delicate performance creates a movie-like atmosphere and is said to have further amplified the song's cinematic aftertaste.
"Greeting of Love 2026" adds sophistication by layering Nam Gyuri's clear, emotive timbre over a sensibly arranged trendy beat. Earlier, SeeYa took the No. 1 spot with their full-group pre-release song in 15 years, "Nevertheless, We."
Meanwhile, Nam Gyuri is currently stepping up final preparations for SeeYa's full-group album scheduled for release in May.
