Rock vocalist Lee Hyuk is set to remake "DON’T CRY," the signature song by The Cross. The new track, "DON’T CRY (2026)," is based on the original song included in The Cross's first full-length album, "Melody Quus," released in 2003.

J&M Entertainment is in charge of planning and production, with Jiho Lee serving as the producer. "As we are presenting a long-beloved masterpiece with a new voice, I hope the emotion of the original song and Lee Hyuk's unique musical charm are delivered together," Jiho Lee stated.

During his time as a member of Norazo, Lee Hyuk released numerous hits including "Older Brother," "Superman," "Mackerel," and "Curry," and has since solidified his position as a rock vocalist through solo and band activities. In this remake, he is expected to showcase a different charm from the original through his characteristic powerful high notes and soulful vocals.

"DON’T CRY" is a song about accepting a breakup with a loved one while conveying unchanging love until the very end. Lee Hyuk will use his voice to newly express the pain and sorrow of parting.

The new song will be released simultaneously on music streaming sites worldwide at 6:00 PM on November 3, 2026.
