Daybreak's Summer Madness is back
Daybreak will hold a two-day concert in Seoul on July 5-6, said agency Mystic Story on Thursday.
This year's show, titled 'Blue,' will be the 11th edition of its annual Summer Madness shows, which began in 2013.
The 17-year-old band is hosting "Blue" about six months after its 'Semicolon' concert in December last year.
After the two-day performance, Daybreak participated in a series of music festivals and teamed up with the band Lucy in March for their joint show, 'The Player Season 1.' The bands collaborated in 2022 when they dropped singles 'The Answer' and 'Oh-eh.'
Last month, the Daybreak released a cover of 'Reminiscence,' the 80s hit song from Sanullim, as part of a project celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Korean rock band.

Actor Go Min-si denies school bullying allegations
Go Min-si, a South Korean actor known for her roles in 'Sweet Home' and 'The Frog,' has denied allegations of school bullying that surfaced online Monday. In a statement issued the same day, her agency, Mystic Story, called the claims 'clearly false and groundless.' The agency added that it had retained legal counsel and begun preparing civil and criminal legal action. School bullying is a highly sensitive issue in South Korea, particularly when it involves public figures. Celebrities accused of such misconduct often face reputational damage, with many seeing their careers derailed if the accusations are found to be true. Allegations were posted on the online forum DC Inside under the title, 'We are victims of school bullying by actor Go.' Although the post did not fully identify the individual, mentioning only the actor's surname and age, it accused the person of bullying, verbal abuse and harassment of students with disabilities during middle school. This is not the first time Go has been at the center of controversy related to her past. In March 2021, photos emerged of her drinking alcohol while underage. At the time, she issued a public apology on social media, writing, 'I recognize the wrongdoing of my past actions and deeply regret my behavior.'

Songs in full bloom: Songs to welcome spring festival season
Three songs capture fresh and fleeting spirit of spring While summer may be the time for rock festivals, spring brings a softer side — festivals where people gather for picnics and enjoy mellow tunes. Here are three standout tracks that perfectly capture the tender and vibrant mood of the season. 'To Reach You' by 10 CM Released on March 6, 10cm's 'To Reach You' is part of the official soundtrack for the Japanese anime of the same title. Although the anime aired in Korea back in 2010, the song was not officially released until this year, despite its enduring popularity among fans over the past 14 years. The track opens with a light, soft beat that gradually builds to an emotional crescendo, as drums and guitar harmonize to deliver a moving and heartfelt finish. This track has been selected as the official theme for "Beautiful Mint Life 2025," one of Korea's most beloved spring festivals, set to take place from June 13 to 15 at Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, Seoul. 10cm will perform on the final day, June 15. 'Flower Road' by Daybreak Daybreak, a powerhouse of the spring festival scene, is a four-piece band that debuted in 2007. Known for their versatility, the group blends pop rock, ballad and city pop into a signature sound all their own. With the catchy hooks and choruses that are easy to sing along to, the band has long been a favorite among festival lovers. 'Flower Road,' one of the most iconic songs, was released in June 2016 as the lead track of the band's 4th studio album "With." A bright and sweet serenade, the song features glamorous brass and string arrangements, with lyrics that evoke the image of a road lined with blooming flowers — making it a perennial favorite during springtime in Korea. After a memorable performance at April's "Lovesome Festival," Daybreak will bring its signature spring energy to Seoul Jazz Festival 2025 on May 31. 'Let Me Love My Youth' by Hanroro One of Korea's fastest-rising indie singer-songwriters, Hanroro has become a regular presence at music festivals. Last month, she solidified her momentum by going onstage as the opening act for Coldplay's Seoul concert series — an impressive feat for any emerging artist. 'Let Me Love My Youth,' Hanroro's debut single released in March 2022, offers a glimpse into her signature understated emotional style. Though its Korean title, 'Ipchun,' refers to the seasonal shift into spring, the song feels more like the lingering chill before spring's arrival — tinged with a quiet, poignant melancholy. The electric guitar solo in the bridge elevates the emotional arc of the track, while Hanroro's voice — gentle yet subtly fragile—leaves a deep and lasting impression.
