GUEST

KACHISAN

"Ultimate Animation Rock!"

KACHISAN is a three-piece band composed of Han Taein (vocals), Kim Jinho (guitar), and Choi Seonyong (bass), delivering music reminiscent of anime theme songs, built on 90s and 2000s new-millennium pop punk, power pop, and Shimokita-kei influences.

Making their debut in March 2023 with their first full-length album 'Hello, KACHISAN', KACHISAN has showcased stories filled with classic manga-inspired tropes and musical expression through their self-coined genre, Animation Rock. They have continued to expand their musical world, releasing their Japanese-language album 'KACHISAN' in 2024 and the EP 'EVIL AND I', centered on the theme of heroism, in 2025.

From 2025 to 2026, KACHISAN sold out all their solo concerts of 500 to 700 seats, at venues including Nodeul Island Live House, Sangsangmadang Live Hall, Hyundai Card UNDERSTAGE, and MUSINSA Garage. They have also appeared at music festivals including Beautiful Mint Life, Peak Festival, the BUSAN International Rock Festival, Grand Mint Festival, Countdown Fantasy, and Someday Festival.

KACHISAN's Animation Rock promises to evoke pure nostalgia for those who grew up in the new millennium, while offering today's generation a fresh alternative to the mainstream music scene.

Shin In Ryu

Shin In Ryu is a Korean rock band composed of Shin Onyu, Moon Junghwan, and Ha Hyungeon. With pastel-colored compositions and lyrics that gently ripple and reflect the joys and sorrows of life, Shin In Ryu gained widespread attention from the moment of their debut. In particular, their EP 'Hope Letter', which captures a fairytale-like mood, and its title track 'Fairy Castor' are regarded as the band's signature release and song.

Having built a strong presence both online and off, Shin In Ryu reached a new milestone with the release of their long-awaited debut full-length album, 'Shining Strike', in April 2025. 'Shining Strike' unfolds across eleven tracks, depicting souls overcoming wounds through mutual love and support. With this album, Shin In Ryu won Best Alternative Rock Album at the 23rd Korean Music Awards, and the band is set for an even more active 2026, including festival appearances, the release of a new album, and a solo concert.
