Next Stop, Incheon: Wish Bus Korea Heads to 2026 ROUND Festival

The ASEAN·Korea Music Festival, dubbed “2026 ROUND in Korea,” takes place on November 7 and 8 at Namdong Gymnasium in Incheon, South Korea. Wish Bus South Korea will join the event on its second day, with 10CM, KAIA, LEE SEUNG YOON, and HAEL HUSAINI as the mobile music studio’s special guests.

Korean singer-songwriter 10CM, known for hit K-drama OSTs like “Spring Snow” from “Lovely Runner,” and P-pop girl group KAIA have both performed on the Wish Bus Philippines and will board the Wish Bus South Korea for the first time. 

Meanwhile, LEE SEUNG YOON, the Korean singer-songwriter who rose to fame after winning the competition show “Sing Again,” and HAEL HUSAINI, who is set to represent Malaysia at the festival, will make their Wish Bus debut.

This will be Wish’s second stint at ROUND, following the Wish Bus Philippines’ appearance at ROUND in Manila this April.

Organized by KBS and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, ROUND is an annual festival that fosters musical exchange between Korea and the ASEAN member states. 

What began as an online festival in 2020 has since grown into a hotly anticipated event. ROUND has already made its rounds in Indonesia, Lao PDR, Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This November, it returns to Korea for the first time since its 2024 edition in Busan.

The 2026 installment also boasts a stellar lineup of artists from the region, including Korea’s 10CM, LEE YOUNGJI, Roy Kim, and LEE SEUNG YOON. The event will also feature ASEAN acts, such as Indonesia’s Eastern Indonesian Collective, Thailand’s Tilly Birds, and the Philippines’ TJ Monterde, who will reunite with 10CM for a special collaboration.
