However, it has really strong "this is an amateur cover version of another, better song" vibes, and I have to say, I am really disappointed that, nope, this is the original version.
I hope someone with better guitar-and-vocals powers than me (I have neither lmao) will someday make a superior cover of it. This is just a tragedy.
EDIT (16:55 11/05/2019): I have been informed that just because the song showed up on a K-pop radio station, that doesn't mean it's K or pop. In fact, the band in question is actually Japanese, and billed as a rock band (though I hesitate to extend the genre of rock to this track in particular, and am awaiting further discussion eagerly).
