Catch The Young brought the fire back to Jeonju Ultimate Music Festival (JUMF) for the second year in a row, igniting the main stage at Jeonbuk National University Stadium on 15 August with their signature blend of emotion and high-energy pop-rock.

Kicking off their set with the heartfelt ballad 'The Way To You', the band quickly shifted gears with the retro-flavoured 'Ideal Type', locking the crowd into a groove with synth-laced riffs and soaring hooks. Tracks like 'Talking To Myself' and 'Dream It' highlighted the group's genre-fluid style and sharp live chemistry, but it was their reimagined version of Queen’s 'Don’t Stop Me Now' that truly brought the crowd to a fever pitch.
Their debut anthem 'YOUTH!!!' had fans shouting every word, while set-closer 'The Legend' sealed their performance with a resounding sense of confidence — the kind that only comes from playing your heart out night after night.
“Sharing this moment with the JUMF crowd will remain unforgettable for us,” said the band after the show.

With back-to-back sets at Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival and JUMF this summer, Catch The Young are quickly becoming a staple name on Korea’s festival circuit. The five piece group — Sani, Kihoon, Namhyun, Junyong, and Jungmo — are known for what they call Youth Pop-Rock, a sound powered by multi-vocals, harmony, and stories of youth.
The band has hustled through university gigs, solo shows, and street busking, proving themselves as one of the most exciting new live acts in the scene since their debut in late 2023. Up next: they’re taking on Sound Planet Festival in September, with plans for a global album drop and international tour in the works.
