Musician Kim Seung-joo imprinted his presence only in his first appearance at the mega indoor music festival "The Glow."

Kim Seung-joo met with the audience on the stage of "THE GLOW 2026" held at KINTEX in Ilsan on the 21st.

On this day, Kim Seung-joo took the first turn of "Stage 37" and opened the festival, instantly raising the atmosphere on the site. Starting with the intro, which featured performances of band session composition such as guitar, bass, and drums, Kim Seung-joo demonstrated stable live performance and stage control by performing "Engine," "Because These French Fries Are Like Sand Clocks," "The Main Character's Law," and "The Cake Is Poor."

Kim Seung-joo then surprisingly released his new unreleased song "Diary (tentative title)" and drew enthusiastic responses from the audience. After increasing the level of immersion with a retro-inspired mood in the 1990s, he drove powerful energy with an explosive band sound by decorating "urban bombing," "an acoustic guitar singer who cannot save mankind," and "CATCH." As a result, the audience also cheered loudly, and the on-site enthusiasm reached its peak.

As the finale song, the title song of the EP "Boy Cartoon 完" was selected, adding to the meaning of his first appearance in "The Glow." The song was completed by realizing the value of "together" through the work of the boy cartoon series for about two years, and Kim Seung-joo left a deep lingering impression by capturing the importance of the moment with the audience.

Kim Seung-joo has been actively engaged in music activities, including a variety of performances and OST releases, including a solo concert "HINT III" held earlier this year. Kim Seung-joo is set to perform "Hyundai Card Curated 104" alone on the 29th, and will perform on various stages in May, including "Sunshine Place," "Peak Festival 2026," and "The 79th Live Club Day."

Meanwhile, Kim Seung-joo, who debuted in 2020, has firmly established his own musical identity based on a world view built on a rock-based cartoonish sound, original language, and solid storytelling.

Starting with the winner of the 32nd Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest, he demonstrated his ability by reaching TOP6 on the stage of the "2025 Penta Port Rock Festival" rookie discovery project. In particular, Kim Seung-joo sold out all of the solo concert "HINT III" held in January, expanding the first performance to the second, and additional performances are also selling out, continuing their popularity.
