"all-rounder band" Ghost Bookstore made its presence felt in its first grants appearance at the imagination realization festival.
Ghost Bookstore took the stage at the 2026 KT&G Imagination Realization Festival Chuncheon held at the KT&G Sangsangmadang Chuncheon Art Center in Gangwon on the 11th and met with the audience.
That day, Ghost Bookstore opened with an intro performance that highlighted a dreamy sound and then performed lyrical melodies one after another such as "Birthday", "Ghost Bookstore", "Spring Song", and "Firefly", further elevating the feeling of spring.
Following that, Ghost Bookstore unveiled the unreleased track "Eddy", drawing enthusiastic responses from the audience. The band's music, which fuses various genres such as shoegaze, post-rock, modern rock, math rock and garage, and their literary lyrics, were more than enough to heighten audience immersion.
Finally, Ghost Bookstore selected the first single they released in 2024, "The children through whom the blood of the stars flows", delivering a dazzling yet poignant story.
In their first grants appearance at the imagination realization festival, Ghost Bookstore revealed a solid yet delicate musical color and left the audience with a deep aftertaste.
Meanwhile, in December last year Ghost Bookstore signed an exclusive contract with tapes, the label of comprehensive entertainment company Mound Media. Since then, Ghost Bookstore has continued active activities, appearing on various stages such as "Countdown Fantasy 2025-2026" and Taiwan Taichung festival "Emerge Fest 2026".
In addition, on the 18th Ghost Bookstore is scheduled to present a distinctive joint stage based on the math rock genre with Japan's Suichu Spica (スイチュウスピカ, Suichu Spica) at the Korea-Japan indie music exchange project "Reciprocity 2026".
