"Our songs often have comforting lyrics, don't they? I usually listen to our music to get through tough times," shared H1-KEY member Yel.
H1-KEY, known for touching fans' hearts with their hit song 'Rose Blooming Between Buildings,' revealed how they find solace during difficult times. This revelation came during their performance at the '2025 ATA Festival' held at Nanji Hangang Park in Seoul on the 27th. H1-KEY performed their popular tracks, including 'It Was Summer' and 'Rose Blooming Between Buildings.'
When asked how they overcome challenging moments, member Huiseo said, "I relieve stress by eating spicy food." Riina added, "Listening to music in the car helps me unwind." Seoi, with a playful gesture, mentioned, "I'm a bit of a bookworm, so reading helps," which brought smiles to the audience.
Riina expressed, "I came here with excitement, and the weather is perfect. I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful autumn day." When asked about future goals, Seoi stated, "Our priority is to come back with a great song following 'It Was Summer.' I hope for more moments shared with our fans." She also encouraged fans, "Let's fill today with H1-KEY's unique energy and have fun together."
The ATA Festival stage featured headliner Kim Junsu, with sub-headliners Jannabi and Peppertones. Other performers included Lee Mujin, 10cm, H1-KEY, Say My Name, Kyungseo, Park Hye-won, and Hwang Garam. On the second day (28th), headliner Kim Jaejoong will perform, along with K-pop groups The Boyz, Tours, Cravity, Ha Sung-woon, Fifty Fifty, 82Major, QWER, Eunice, Bad Villain, and New Beat, decorating the riverside.
H1-KEY released their mini 4th album 'Lovestruck' in June, gaining love with the title track 'It Was Summer.'
