Looking for a little retro sparkle for your watchlist? UNIS performed “Haneulttang Byeolttang” on Mnet’s M Countdown on September 10, 2026, bringing colorful styling and choreography recalling the original song to their comeback stage. 1
One song, three moments
The rollout began with the remake single’s release on September 8 at noon, followed that afternoon by a performance-focused promotional video. 2 The September 10 M Countdown appearance then brought the song to television as UNIS began its music-show promotions for the release. 2
That makes the comeback stage a return with a new release: the single and promotional video were already out before the televised performance. 2 If you’re getting acquainted with this comeback, those are three distinct moments to keep straight—audio release, promotional video and music-show stage. 2
A 1997 melody with Y2K flair
“Haneulttang Byeolttang” remakes the same-named song released in 1997 by female duo Bibi. 1 Starnews describes UNIS’s version as preserving the original’s bouncy melody and lively energy while adding kitschy Y2K sensibility and contemporary K-pop sound. 3
So why do both 1997 and Y2K appear in the story? They describe different aspects of the project: 1997 dates Bibi’s original, while Y2K describes the aesthetic applied to UNIS’s remake. 3 For a listening prompt, focus on that pairing of a retained melody with an updated sound. 3
Signature moves, extra bounce
For the stage, start with the clothes: MyDaily describes colorful outfits with retro accents, alongside affectionate facial expressions and dance moves recalling the original. 1 Topstarnews adds that UNIS built on the original’s signature choreography—the standout moves referred to as “point choreography”—with bouncy movements and playful expression. 2
The connection to Bibi therefore runs through both the melody and the dancing, while the reported styling gives the remake its Y2K presentation. 2 That’s a fun pairing to look for: musical familiarity carried into the movement, with colorful retro details around it. 2
Topstarnews reported that UNIS was scheduled to perform “Haneulttang Byeolttang” on MBC’s Syo! Eumak Jungsim on September 12, 2026. 2
