Beenzino at NOL Festival 2026
Beenzino (임성빈, 39) took the Super Live Stage at NOL Festival 2026, held at Kintex Hall 2 in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province. The two-day festival brought together approximately 60 acts across K-pop, hip-hop, and EDM.
His set leaned on catalog: Boogie on & on and Aqua Man, both from the 2012 EP 2 4 : 2 6, were among the tracks he performed. After the stage, he posted a short message to attendees: "Thank you to all NOL festival audiences who participated with us. See you next time."
The festival's scale
NOL Festival ran on an application-based free-invite model alongside some paid ticketing. Pre-registration alone drew hundreds of thousands of applications. That kind of demand before a single ticket went on sale says something about how much people wanted in.
Where Beenzino stands heading into the set
The Goyang appearance comes off a strong two-year run. His 2023 album NOWITZKI won Album of the Year and Best Rap & Hip-hop Album at the 21st Korean Popular Music Awards in 2024. At the 8th Korean Hip-hop Awards that same year, he swept three categories: Artist of the Year, Hip-hop Album of the Year, and Collaboration of the Year.
He also held a solo concert in 2024 dedicated to NOWITZKI, performing the full album alongside major hits live. The NOL appearance feels like a natural follow-up rather than a one-off.
His discography timeline for reference:
- 2012 — EP 2 4 : 2 6
- 2013 — Single Dali, Van, Picasso
- 2015 — Single 어쩌라고 (So What)
- 2016 — Regular album 12
- 2023 — Regular album NOWITZKI
