'Gen Z Rockstar' HANRORO Dominates Charts, Sells Out Concerts, and Debuts as Author

Dubbed the 'Gen Z Rockstar,' singer-songwriter HANRORO is proving his rising popularity with significant achievements across major Korean music platforms, driven by consistent digital single releases and diverse activities.

Since his debut with the single 'Chun' in March 2022, HANRORO has actively released music, including two more singles 'Mirror' and 'Beating Heart,' totaling 10 digital singles and 3 EPs. He has further solidified his presence through participation in various festivals and music shows.

His growth trajectory was evident when he held his first solo concert in September last year to commemorate the release of his first EP, 'Atypical Flight.' Since then, he has progressively expanded the scale of his performances, moving from KT&G Sangsangmadang Hongdae to Nodeul Island Live House and YES24 LIVEHALL, showcasing a textbook example of 'staircase growth.'

HANRORO is set to hold his largest solo concert to date, 'Grapefruit Apricot Club,' on October 24-25 at the Hwajeong Gymnasium of Korea University. The concert's immense popularity was confirmed as all tickets for both dates sold out instantly upon release.

His music is also making waves on major streaming platforms. As of October 18th at midnight, his hit song 'I Will Come to Love You' ranked first on Apple Music's Top 100: Korea chart, seventh on Spotify's Top 50: Korea, and thirteenth on Melon's Top 100, demonstrating his strong chart performance. Additionally, '0+0,' a track from his latest EP 'Grapefruit Apricot Club,' charted at fifth on Apple Music's Top 100: Korea and nineteenth on Spotify's Top 50: Korea, highlighting its popularity.

Beyond music, HANRORO made his official debut as an author in July with the release of his first novel, also titled 'Grapefruit Apricot Club.' His lyrical prose and emotional worldview left a deep impression on readers, earning praise for showcasing his diverse charm across both music and literature.

Furthermore, HANRORO launched his YouTube content series 'Dangbamnabam' on October 13th, focusing on 'Slow Content' centered around daily life and experiences. The first episode garnered significant empathy from viewers with his honest perspective, and the second episode is scheduled for release on October 20th at 6 PM. Expectations are high for HANRORO's future endeavors, anticipating that he will continue to offer new musical experiences and literary inspiration to his fans.

Korean netizens are flooding social media with comments like 'HANRORO is killing the charts!', 'Sold out concert, as expected of the trendsetter!', and 'Even a novelist? Truly a multi-talented artist!' showing their enthusiastic support for his successful career.
