South Korean acts ENHYPEN, Shownu X Hyungwon and STAYC are set to release covers of songs by other artists that they look up to, as part of the 10th anniversary celebration of Spotify's flagship K-pop playlist.

In a statement, the music streaming giant said it would launch a campaign for the anniversary of the K-Pop ON! (온) playlist, which it launched in 2014 "as part of its efforts to drive discovery and bring K-pop to its global audience."

With the theme "My First K-pop Crush," the campaign involves ENHYPEN, Shownu X Hyungwon and STAYC covering songs by senior colleagues "who first fueled their love for K-pop."

"It's not just a nod to every fan's journey into the genre, which began with that first K-pop artist who made their heart flutter with their artistry and flair, but also a call to K-pop fans around the world to join in the celebration of a shared passion for the genre and the artists who started it all," Spotify said.

ENHYPEN's song will be released on February 16, followed by Monsta X sub-unit Shownu X Hyungwon's cover on February 29, and STAYC's track on March 15.

Spotify did not immediately say which songs would be covered.

Apart from the songs, the streamer will also put out performance videos and behind-the-scenes content.

"Beyond the celebration of our commitment to helping K-pop travel the globe and connecting Korean artists with fans and new audiences, Spotify's K-Pop ON! (온) First Crush campaign is also a powerful expression of how K-Pop touches lives, spreads positivity, and unites listeners regardless of where they are from or the language they speak," said Park Jung-joo, Korea Head of Music at Spotify.

The Philippines ranks as the K-Pop ON! (온) playlist's third biggest market, following the United States and Indonesia at first and second place, respectively, according to Spotify.
