"It's Haroro. It feels great to make music together with you all in this cool weather. Do you feel the same? I think of this place as our 'home,' so now I'll play the next song."

This year, among many festival artists, Haroro stood out above all. The moment he appeared, a magic occurred where the sensibilities of every audience member converged into one.

Haroro participated in performances including 'The Glow 2026', '2026 Green Camp Music & Camping Festival', '18th Seoul Jazz Festival 2026', 'Soundberry Festa 2026', 'SUMMER SONIC 2026', 'MADLY MEDLEY 2026', '2026 Busan International Rock Festival', and 'WONDERLIVE 2026'. He also took part in festivals at Incheon University, Soongsil University, Korea University, Sejong University, Ewha Womans University, Yonsei University, Kangwon National University, and Inha University. Currently, there are a total of 19 planned events through the end of this year, including three solo performances in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.

Among these, we looked at Haroro's recent performance at the 'MADLY MEDLEY 2026' (hereinafter 'MADLY MEDLEY'). Last year, the festival kicked off with G-Dragon and Taeyeon as its finale, but this year it ended with Haroro and Akmu. Haroro has proven his rising popularity by highlighting most of this year's festivals.

This year's 'MADLY MEDLEY' was held on the 5th and 6th at Seoul Mapo-gu Culture Depot. On the second day, Haroro took the stage right before Akmu's performance and performed for 50 minutes.

Haroro began with songs 'Seaweed', 'Goldfish', and 'Wobbly Pairing'. He breathed life onto the stage with his gentle yet energetic charm, while the audience swayed their heads and created the stage together.

Through his new song 'You and Me', Haroro unleashed a burst of cuteness and hope alongside visuals featuring Sanrio character Pompompurin.

He then built up the rock atmosphere with performances of 'JIB', 'Food Chain', and 'Suspect', before expanding the spectrum to include lyrical moods with 'Lichun', '0+0', 'Running Through Time', and 'I Will Love You'.

Finally, Haroro said, "We want this performance not to end in 'Game Over,' so we'll run as hard as possible until the very end. Even if you feel like it's 'Game Over' someday, I always want to be by your side telling you it isn't. In those moments, please listen to this song," before closing the stage with encores of 'Game Over?' and 'JIB'.

He raised the festival's energy with a surprising burst of power from his small frame. Although he doesn't perform technically complex dances, his body moves spontaneously in response to the music, which ironically created a strong sense of resonance. Haroro is not an artist who relies on grandiose sounds or movements on the surface. It becomes clear that we resonate with his sincere and delicate lyrics, as well as his vibe that surrenders to the feeling of each moment.
