Producers worldwide are invited to remix three standout tracks from K-pop icon NANA as part of the first-ever remix challenge on Aria Protocol.
Known for her bold crossover from music to screen, NANA rose to global recognition as a member of After School and its subunit Orange Caramel, earning a dedicated following for her genre-blending sound and visually rich artistry. With over 5 million fans across platforms, and a growing career in Korean television and film, NANA has become a true cultural force across Asia and beyond.
Now, she’s inviting the next generation of producers to remix her music, reshape her sound, and reimagine what K-pop can become, onchain.
The Aria Global Remix Contest offers access to official stems from three of NANA’s original songs:
GOD
BY NANA
Daylight
BY NANA
Hurt
BY NANA
What is Aria Protocol?
Aria Protocol enables users to access and earn from iconic IP. It tokenizes IP rights on the blockchain, turning them into tradable crypto assets, with some assets allowing holders to earn royalties generated by the underlying works. It also enables rights holders to seamlessly license their work and embed royalty splits. NANA's tracks represent the first example of this on the protocol, known as 'remixable IP’.

In addition, selected remixes from the contest will be released by a label, with their recording rights tokenized on Aria Protocol and net royalties flowing to remixers and the Aria community holding a token called $APL. Remixes may be further remixed with royalties generated from these also flowing to remixers and $APL stakers.
“This album focuses less on glamour and more on the music itself — it honestly captures the questions I've asked myself and the answers that followed. I'm truly glad that, through Aria Protocol, this album can invite both creators and fans to explore and appreciate music from new perspectives. It's deeply meaningful to take part in a new form of culture where art and the value of music grow side by side.”
