Get ready to enjoy the 'ATA Festival 2025' with a stellar lineup that will beautifully adorn the cool autumn days.
On the 27th, two singers perfectly suited for the crisp weather will take the stage by the Han River: Kyungseo and Park Hye-won (HYNN). Both artists are known for their unique styles that evoke the poignant emotions of autumn, earning them widespread popularity.
Kyungseo and Park Hye-won will perform on the first day of the '2025 ATA Festival' at Nanji Hangang Park. The headliner for the day is singer Kim Junsu, with Jannabi and Peppertones set to perform as sub-headliners.
Kyungseo rose to fame in 2020 with the song 'Stars in the Night Sky,' a remake of Yang Jung-seung's 2010 hit. The song reached as high as 33rd on Melon's main music chart TOP100, showcasing its popularity.
Kyungseo has been actively releasing music, including the OST 'Our Sea' for the MBC drama 'Bunny and the Oppas' and 'It's Just the Beginning' for Netflix's 'Driver.' In April, she released her first self-composed song 'So Stay by My Side,' expanding her repertoire as an artist.
She is also a key player in SBS's variety show 'Kick a Goal' from season 2 to the present, known for her versatility as both a sprinter and a defender.
Park Hye-won is set to release a remake of MC the Max's 2014 song 'The Wind Blows' on October 1st. She teased a spoiler of the song at the ATA Festival, heightening anticipation.
The decision to release 'The Wind Blows' was inspired by the viral success of her cover on SBS's 'The Listen: Together Again,' which surpassed 4 million views.
Park Hye-won gained recognition as the 'Incheon Ailee' during her appearance on Mnet's audition program 'Superstar K' in 2016. Her powerful vocals in the 2019 hit 'As If a Flower Withers' sparked a singing challenge trend. Recently, she participated in covering the OST 'GOLDEN' for Netflix's animation 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' garnering significant attention.
On September 27th, the ATA Festival will also feature performances by Jannabi, Peppertones, Lee Mujin, 10cm, H1-KEY, Say My Name, Hwang Garam, and Kim Junsu.
The second day of the festival (September 28th) will see Kim Jaejoong as the headliner, along with K-pop idol groups The Boyz, Tours, Cravity, Ha Sung-woon, Fifty Fifty, 82Major, QWER, Eunice, Bad Villain, and New Beat lighting up the Han River.
