The Journey of Han Kyung-rok: From Hongdae to Goyang
Hello, this is reporter Joo.
When you think of Hongdae, the name Han Kyung-rok comes to mind.
Have you heard the news that the bassist of Crying Nut, also known as 'Captain Rock', has recently left Hongdae?
He has moved to Goyang City after spending nearly 30 years in Hongdae, a transition revealed through the show 'I Live Alone'.
Han Kyung-rok, who has lived in Hongdae for about 20 years, described it as 'my home ground', expressing his fondness for the area.
He reminisced, saying, "Every day outside felt like Las Vegas; it was truly enjoyable." Given his central role in the Hongdae indie scene, the decision to leave must have been difficult.
He openly shared that he chose to relocate as a form of 'voluntary exile', having moved about seven months ago.
As the bassist of Crying Nut, known for hits like 'The Night is Deep' and 'Let’s Ride a Horse', he has been a significant figure in the music scene.
The festival 'Kyung-rok Day', which began at his birthday party, has grown into a major indie festival featuring many musicians from Hongdae.
His influence in the Hongdae culture was immense, making it hard to separate him from the area.
On February 6, his new home was revealed in the show 'I Live Alone', which recorded a peak rating of 6.4%.
His home featured colorful decor, vibrant lighting, and green plants, embodying his philosophy that 'over 50% of interior design is light'.
Articles described his house as a 'reversal house' and 'a place that could be in an interior magazine', contrasting sharply with his free-spirited rockstar persona.
In the show, he was seen listening to classical music while stretching and managing his plants, showcasing a morning routine of a sensitive rocker.
His approach to combining delivery food into a 'Kyung-rok feast' was surprisingly creative.
At 49 years old, and celebrating his 30th debut anniversary, Han Kyung-rok's choice to move was not just a simple relocation.
It seemed more like an intentional reset, allowing him to focus on his own pace and reflections away from the 'Las Vegas' atmosphere of Hongdae.
'I Live Alone' has welcomed him as a new member during this transitional phase, which has been analyzed as a refreshing change for the show.
His candid and straightforward lifestyle shared on the broadcast resonated with many viewers.
It will be exciting to see how this new chapter unfolds for the rocker who has left Hongdae.
Thank you for reading today.
