South Korean alt-rock artist HANRORO is back with new music. The rising singer-songwriter unveils her latest single album LOVE&HATE — a two-track release that dives headfirst into the emotional push and pull between opposing feelings.
Built on a rock/alternative foundation, LOVE&HATE explores the idea that love and hate aren’t separate forces, but emotions that exist side by side. Through introspective storytelling, HANRORO reflects on self-doubt, affection, and the courage it takes to embrace both.
Leading the release is ‘GAME OVER ?’, a title track shaped by a hopeful message. “We only get one chance to live in this world… what we should leave behind… is not hate, but love,” she shares. It’s a sentiment that cuts through the noise of an increasingly competitive world, urging listeners to hold onto compassion.
The second track, ‘1111’, leans more personal — using her birthday as a metaphor to capture the endless loop between love and hate. It’s a continuation of HANRORO’s signature approach: vulnerable, reflective, and deeply connected to youth navigating uncertainty.
Since her debut with ‘Let Me Love My Youth’, HANRORO has steadily carved out her place in Korea’s modern rock scene. With multiple Korean Music Awards nominations and sold-out solo concerts under her belt, she’s become a voice for young listeners searching for connection in turbulent times.
On LOVE&HATE, HANRORO doesn’t shy away from contradiction — instead, she leans into it, reminding us that even in moments of intense self-doubt or frustration, love has a way of finding its way back., dr
