The controversy surrounding VSTRA's song "Kiss Me Here" and the organizers of K-Pulse Hanoi 2026 is attracting significant public attention. On the evening of June 7th, VSTRA issued an official statement regarding the use of a derivative version of "Kiss Me Here" at the K-Pulse Hanoi 2026 event.

In its announcement, VSTRA expressed its appreciation for the audience's support and the fact that the song has been chosen by many artists to perform.

The singer also affirmed that she is always ready to cooperate with individuals and event organizers in the spirit of respecting copyright, and hopes that the matter will be resolved in a goodwill and transparent manner.

In addition, VSTRA expressed its hope that the program organizers would promptly acknowledge the information, cease using the controversial derivative work, and issue an official announcement to the audience.

To avoid negative arguments arising while awaiting the outcome of the investigation between the parties, VSTRA announced that it will temporarily disable comments under the post updating the case.
