Hanroro

Hanroro (한로로, Han Ji-su; born November 11, 2000, Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea) is a singer-songwriter who graduated from Gyeongnam Foreign Language High School before earning a degree in Korean Language and Literature from Konkuk University. She debuted on March 14, 2022 under Authentic, making music across pop rock, indie rock, alternative rock, and noise pop, built primarily around vocals and ukulele. Her catalog deepened steadily: Take-off (2023) established her as a reliable indie presence, Home (2024) broadened her audience, and Jamong Salgu Club (2025) confirmed she had outgrown the indie circuit. In late December 2025, her three EPs swept the top three spots on Yes24's weekly album sales chart, a feat rarely achieved by an independent artist. The accompanying novel, also titled Jamong Salgu Club, reached No. 4 at Kyobo Book Centre. Harper's Bazaar Korea's August 2025 profile called her 'the celebrity of celebrities,' capturing how thoroughly she had crossed into mainstream recognition without changing her approach. The live business tells the same story. Her fourth solo concert, announced in October 2025, projected attendance figures twenty times higher than her second concert two years earlier. Korean press named her the new Gen Z leader of the music scene in November 2025. She won Musician of the Year at the 23rd Korean Music Awards in 2026.
