Singer Crush and Red Velvet's Joy have once again set hearts aflutter with an unexpected duet video, showcasing their enduring chemistry.

On November 11, fans were treated to a surprise when Crush's official YouTube channel and personal social media accounts released a live performance of their new collaboration, "Ppigeudeok."

The video features the duo's voices in perfect harmony, though their faces remain unseen. Joy adds a touch of warmth to the scene by cradling Crush's dog, Duyou, throughout the performance. Even without visual cues, their distinctive vocal tones and intimate atmosphere exude an undeniable connection.

"Ppigeudeok," released on October 21, originally featured IU. This new rendition with Joy, Crush's public girlfriend, brings a fresh and intimate dimension to the track, which had already generated buzz with its initial collaboration.

The release sparked an enthusiastic response from fans. Social media lit up with comments like, "This is the most exciting challenge yet, even without seeing their faces!" and "It's like a sweet Pepero Day gift!" Others praised their vocal compatibility, expressing hope for a full-fledged duet in the future. Many also noted the adorable sight of Duyou nestled comfortably in Joy's arms.

The couple's relationship blossomed from their musical collaboration on Crush's single "Mayday" in May 2020. They officially confirmed their romance in August 2021, becoming one of K-pop's most beloved couples for over two years.

In a recent appearance on the radio show "Wendy's Youngstreet" to promote his new release, Crush didn't shy away from expressing his admiration for Joy. When asked about his favorite K-pop song, he cited Red Velvet's "Surf," which Joy penned solo, further demonstrating his unwavering affection for his girlfriend.
