2026 leads it, but only just: nine shows against eight in 2013 and seven in both 2014 and 2024. What changed in 2026 is the kind of booking, not the number.
2012 to 2016: band work
Twenty-nine of the fifty-three played shows sit in these five years, all of them 24Hours dates and festival side stages. Jandari Festa three times. Super Sonic 2012 at Olympic Park. Citybreak 2014 at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Jisan Valley Rock in 2016. The Seoul International Music Fair at the DDP in 2015. Rolling Hall four times, Club FF twice, two headline nights at Club Crack and Club FF, an EBS Hello Rookie audition round in October 2012, and a Tune Up bill at CJ azit Gwangheungchang in December 2015, which is the same room she would play her own EP release show in eight years later.
Five years of playing guitar in somebody else's band around Hongdae, before any of it had her name on it.
2017 to 2021: what actually happened
For a long time this list had nothing at all between 30 September 2016 and 27 August 2022, and the gap was the most conspicuous thing about the archive.
It has a cause. 24Hours stopped because the band's male members were called up for mandatory military service; the account of their December 2016 "Jane" release show puts the bassist's enlistment a week later, on 27 December. The band's own posts say they reunited in October 2020, announced a show for July 2021 that was cancelled, and finally played again at Black Market in Yongsan on 18 December 2021.
She did not stop. She had formed Seoul Moon in 2016 with Lee Ruri and Shin Hye-mi, and that band released fourteen times between December 2016 and August 2020, which is more records than 24Hours made in twice the span. Two Seoul Moon shows are now in the list: the 26th Live Club Day in April 2017, and opening for the American band COIN at Move Hall on 14 August 2019.
Three shows across five years is still thin, and the years either side of them are still blank. The difference is that the blank is now a gap in the record rather than a gap in her decade. If you have a poster, a ticket or a lineup for anything between 2017 and 2021, the contact page is where to send it.
2022 and 2023: starting again alone
Two in 2022: Voyage to Jarasum on 27 August, and US Earth Festival at Nanji Hangang Park on 15 October. One in 2023: the M3MI release show at CJ azit Gwangheungchang on 22 December. She told an interviewer that January that she wanted to start playing properly that year, which reads differently once you know what the five years before it looked like.
2024: the year that broke the pattern
Seven shows, five of them abroad. The FRIENDS:FOREVER showcase at SXSW in Austin on 14 March, presented by Jaded, forty minutes and her American debut. Incheon Pentaport on 4 August. Then a run through September: BIGSOUND in Brisbane on the 5th, on a Split Works showcase billed "An Asian Music Mixer"; The Tivoli in Brisbane on the 6th for Concrete & Grass; and the Sydney Fringe Festival on the 7th. Then Clockenflap on Hong Kong's Central Harbourfront on 30 November, a forty-five minute afternoon set of "LOVE SONG", "Waikiki", "Thin Lips Club" and "Guitar Pick", and FireBall Fest at the Rakuten stadium in Taoyuan the next night.
Four of those six festivals sat on the bio page here for a year with nothing behind them, looking like the kind of thing a press release invents. They were all real.
2025
Three. JUMF in Jeonju on 17 August, LaLaLa Festival in Jakarta on the 24th, and MEMI : The Ring at Big Bear Boxing Club in Seoul on 21 December. Jakarta was the closing day of a three-day bill at JIExpo Kemayoran topped by Black Eyed Peas, Keshi and Tinashe.
2026, in order
13 March, MOONDOG, Taipei. Before the label and before the single.
7 April. DayOneDream announce an exclusive contract. Their other artists are BTOB and Lee Chaeyeon, which is part of why a rock guitarist signing got more coverage than a signing usually gets.
30 April. "BADidea" is released, at noon KST.
9 May, Musinsa Garage, Seoul. The first headline show under the new deal, billed BAD idea : Out of Line, at 6pm, and it sold out. MK Sports put the set at ninety minutes and listed it: "Get da Faka", "Thin Lips Club", "I don't give a", "Hate U", "i'm broken", "RocK N RoLL", a cover of Deftones' "Be Quiet and Drive", "BAD idea", and songs she had not released. Her line from the stage, translated: "I really love rock, and I simply played guitar, yet this incredible thing happened in my life. I'm truly grateful."
Four clips from the night are in the media archive.
20 May, YES, Manchester. The basement room.
22 May, The Shacklewell Arms, London. Sold out ahead of the date. The reported set opened on "Get da Faka", went through "Thin Lips Club", got the room singing "Guitar Pick" back at her and encored on "Waikiki". Both rooms hold a few hundred people, and both have had HAIM and Beabadoobee through them.
27 June, Spring Wave, Taichung. The second Taiwanese date of the year.
10 July, Vel.R, Seoul. A shared bill on 모탄절's 영호의 인디가요 콘서트 series, billed 김뜻돌 X 매미. Three clips from it are in the archive.
12 August, Yes24 Live Hall, Seoul. Opening for The Warning on their first Korean show, which she posted about herself as an opening slot. She had put up a cover of their "Ego" five weeks earlier.
2 September, MU:CON, Seoul. The Korea Creative Content Agency showcase, at the Cube Convention Center in Sangam. 24Hours played MU:CON's 2015 edition at the DDP, eleven years earlier.
18 October, INMUFE, Suwon. The Gyeonggi indie music festival, and the only date still ahead. She is on the Sunday at 1:20pm.
What actually changed
The foreign dates do not build the way the story usually gets told. There were none at all until 2024, then five in that one year across Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, then one in 2025, then four in 2026. 2024 was not the warm-up for 2026; it was the bigger year abroad.
What 2026 has that 2024 did not is her own name on the door. Of the five Korean dates this year, one is a sold-out headline show and one is an opening slot for a touring international act. In 2013, the other eight-show year, every date was a Hongdae club or a Korean festival, and she was the guitarist rather than the billing. In 2024 she was the imported support on somebody else's showcase.
