Part 1 covered the hands-on booths. Part 2 is about the stage at Mokpo Peace Plaza on the same rainy Saturday, October 24, 2026. The rain never stopped, and neither did the performances.
Part 1: A Rainy Saturday at Mokpo’s On-dongne Neulbom Festival
Stage 1: “Hadrenaline 2” from Hadang Middle School
The first act was Hadang Middle School’s student band, Hadrenaline 2 (하드레날린 2기). A full band of vocals, guitar, bass and drums played live in the rain.
I stood closest to the guitar side, so most of my footage follows the guitarist. The stage floor was soaked, yet the band stayed tight with the drums and bass to the end.
Stage 2: Excited, a Haenam dance crew
Next came Excited (익사이티드), a dance crew from Haenam made up of students from elementary school through high school. Matching black jackets and camo pants stood out against the grey sky.
The group routine held together on the wet stage and ended with an arms-up finale.
Here are both acts in a one-minute reel with the live sound.
Why it stayed with me
The stage was soaked, but the students on it showed everything they had prepared. Experiences like this tend to stay with kids for a long time.
