Cruffin announces departure to Hongdae, the ‘mecca of busking’

Cruffin, a project group comprised of singers Kim Tae-hyung and Ji Ji-yong, is going to Hongdae, the ‘mecca of busking’ this time. Cruffin's last free performance will be held at Hongdae Festival Street on January 17th at 8 PM.

Cruffin, who released the retro-style carol song 'My Christmas' simultaneously in Korea and China on December 15, decided to donate all proceeds from the music to the Briquette Bank, with the idea of communicating directly with citizens and collecting donations in December. A free nationwide performance tour began on the 24th. After successfully completing both the first performance in Gangchon and the second performance in Daegu, Cruffin concludes its activities with the Hongdae performance.

In this final performance, Cruffin is said to be trying to create a healing time by selecting songs that can be sung with citizens as if it were a mini concert. Cruffin said, “We will reach the target donation amount,” and expressed his gratitude for the growing number of people day by day. He expressed his determination, “I will do my best in the last Hongdae performance.” He also said, “We are grateful for the calls from many regions, but considering the season, we will conclude the ‘My Christmas’ music promotions at this point and see you soon with another new appearance.” He asked for expectations for future activities.

Cruffin, who is preparing to record a new album after wrapping up the free concert, plans to return with songs aimed at the summer.

Meanwhile, Cruffin released 'My Christmas' simultaneously in Korea and China on December 15th, giving the green light to entering the Greater China region.
