Coyote hit #1 on major charts last August — and their 28th year is far from over
Coyote, South Korea's longest-running co-ed group, is festival-hopping through summer 2026 with a new album coming in the second half of the year.
Coyote (코요태) debuted on December 9, 1998 with 순정. That makes 2026 their 28th year as a group, and the pace isn't letting up.
The summer festival circuit has kept them busy. Boryeong Mud Festival K-POP SUPER LIVE. The 2026 Ulju Picnic Concert: 여름밤의 꿈. The 2026 Geoje Summer Ocean Festival. Their setlists pull from 순정, 실연, 비몽, 파란, 콜미, GO, 영웅, 반쪽, 바람, and 사계.
콜미 deserves its own moment. Last August, Coyote reunited with composer Choi Jun-young (최준영)—who wrote 순정 and 실연—for the first time in 27 years. The single hit No. 1 on major music charts.
Before the festival run came the 2025 Coyotestival National Tour: 흥 across Daegu, Seoul, Busan, and Ulsan. March brought their self-produced concert brand Coyotestival to Vietnam. A 28-year arc doesn't move in straight lines.
Coyote signed an exclusive contract with JG Star and recently posted a studio update with the full group. New album and music activities are set for the second half of 2026.
