bongjeingan is an alternative rock trio from Seoul, South Korea, comprising Chiyoonhae (vocals, bass), Hyunjae Lim (guitar), and Iljun Jeon (drums). Born out of a desire to heal one another through music, the band refuses to be confined by any single genre, letting their flow remain unrestricted and free.

Formed in 2022, bongjeingan quickly made waves in the Korean indie scene. The supergroup—whose members hail from Parasol, Sultan of the Disco, Hyukoh, and Kiha & The Faces—played some of their earliest performances soon after getting together at Pentaport Rock Festival and the DMZ Peace Train Music Festival.

Following a December 2022 single featuring two tracks Gaekkum and Good, the band released their first full-length album, 12 Languages (12가지 말들), in 2023. Known for its sparkling, inventive energy and lyrical depth, the album cements bongjeingan as a band unafraid to explore emotional and musical landscapes without boundaries.

The band brought its energy to Baybeats on 1 Nov 2025, Sat, 8.50pm at Annexe (Esplanade Annexe Studio).

The 24th edition of Baybeats, presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, took place from 30 Oct – 2 Nov 2025. This year's festival was four days, instead of its usual three, and featured five stages, with the return of our Livewire Stage at the Forecourt Garden.

Each year, Baybeats works hard to bring together a diverse mix of alternative artists, from Singapore and around the world. Baybeats hopes to create a space where emerging and established artists share the same stages, where boundaries fade, and where a passion for music and shared moments are what truly matter.

As Singapore’s largest free alternative music festival, the success of Baybeats is built upon years of strong support from our independent music scene, from musicians and fans who have grown with the festival (and now bring their families along), to our Baybeats Budding Bands and first-time festival-goers. Baybeats thrives because of everyone’s unwavering support and belief in alternative music.
