Hwang Garam's New Song 'Amunda' Tops Charts Ahead of ATA Festival 2025 Performance
Get ready to enjoy the 'ATA Festival 2025' with a stellar lineup. Let's dive into the details of the performers who will grace the stage this fall.
Singer Hwang Garam is once again capturing the hearts of the public with his new comforting song. Following the success of 'I Am a Firefly,' all eyes are on whether another national comfort song will emerge.
On the 3rd, Hwang Garam released his new track 'Amunda.' The song carries the message, 'Even with scars, we continue to live.' Hwang Garam's unique deep emotion and compelling voice deliver a profound resonance.
Previously, his song 'I Am a Firefly' gained belated attention, creating a reverse charting phenomenon. 'I Am a Firefly' resonated with many, emerging as a comfort song. The new track 'Amunda' continues this warm sentiment, offering a comforting hand to those carrying both big and small pains in their daily lives.
The song's performance on the charts is noteworthy. As of 10 AM on the 4th, 'Amunda' ranked first on the Kakao Music real-time chart. It also secured the 9th spot on the Melon HOT 100 (released within 30 days) chart as of 9 AM the same day.
Recently, Hwang Garam has expanded his activities by releasing a series of remake tracks. He also released an OST for the MBC drama 'Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin,' broadening his connection with music fans. Continuing his music activities based on his unique warm emotional line, Hwang Garam's comeback with 'Amunda' is significant as it is his own song, not a remake. The new track further solidifies his musical world.
Hwang Garam debuted in 2011 and spent about 13 years in obscurity before 'I Am a Firefly' gained popularity. The sincere comfort delivered by someone who has endured tough times deeply resonates with the public, which is why his songs are loved.
Hwang Garam will perform at the global music festival 'ATA Festival 2025' held at Nanji Hangang Park on September 27-28. He will take the stage on the first day (September 27). Other performers on that day include Kim Junsu, Jannabi, Peppertones, Lee Mujin, 10cm, Park Hye-won, Kyungseo, H1-KEY, and Say My Name. On the second day (September 28), artists like Kim Jaejoong, The Boyz, Tours, Cravity, QWER, Fifty Fifty, 82Major, Eunice, Bad Villain, and New Beat will perform along the Han River.
