Kim Ha-on announces '2000 TAPE': 20-track project drops July 20

Kim Ha-on drops 2000 TAPE on July 20, 2026 — a 20-track project arriving roughly three and a half months after he swept both the audience vote and the real-time text vote at the live Show Me The Money 12 final on April 2, taking home the 100 million won prize.

The full tracklist: "MILLENNIUM BUG," "RHYMES N FLOWS," "HIGH TOP," "Nuptse North Face," "SUDDEN ATTACK FX," "NY DRIP SO COLD," "한국노래 (KOREAN ANTHEM)," "YANKEE CANDLE," "SIP N SLOW," "R.I.P," "TURN UP THAT MUSIC," "새천년 (NEW ERA)," "Where 2 go," "2000 to TOP," "I ♡ KC," "WINDOW SHOPPING," "RICH RICH," "UP," "GREEN LIGHT," and "XYZ." No features listed yet.

Ha-on has been stacking wins since 2018, when he debuted with "LOVE ! DANCE !" and took first place on High School Rapper 2 the same year. At 25, he's now one of only two artists to win two separate hip hop audition seasons — the other being himself. His label KC full-length HAONOAH already had the scene's attention. Its track "꼴통" won Hip Hop Track of the Year at the 2025 Korean Hip Hop Awards. He placed runner-up on TVING's RAP:PUBLIC in 2024 and has appeared on Mnet's The Grumpy Live and JTBC's Nowadays Kids.

(Twenty songs is a statement, not a tracklist.) In his post-championship interview, Ha-on said he's planning a group album and a solo album simultaneously. 2000 TAPE appears to be the solo side.
