Global band hrtz.wav (Haatzwave) has taken flight. There is no slowing down in Haatzwave's trajectory after making an immediate impression with their debut.
On the 8th, Haatzwave made their first appearance in the music scene and has entered the second week since debut. Since debut, Haatzwave has been showcasing the band's charm and music through various content, from self-cam short-form videos to a road trip–concept music video, and is building its foundation as a band that audiences can trust, watch and listen to.
Keyboardist Yoon Young-jun, vocalist Rian, bassist Dane, guitarist K-ten and drummer Hagiwa each highlighted their positional individuality in the "NINETEEN" performance challenge video, and the road trip–concept original content Real hrtz.wav, which unfolds team chemistry and the band's narrative in nature, are representative examples.
They have also continuously released performance videos, cheering guides and reaction videos, delivering a balanced mix of musical completeness and approachable charm. The self-cam short-form video showing Haatzwave members racing down the road and singing the title track "NINETEEN" from the debut mini album The First Wave surpassed 30 million views (as of the 14th), proving its popularity.
On the 15th at 6 p.m., Haatzwave will showcase an even more expanded side of the band through global K-pop media 1theK's outdoor recording studio. A representative said the plan is to maximize visual freshness by performing the title track "NINETEEN" live against an open backdrop of verdant grass and a track.
Haatzwave's wide-ranging activities continue. In addition to appearing on various music shows and in content, they will perform on stages such as the 2026 Awesome Music Festival held May 25 and 26 at Nanji Hangang Park in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and KCON JAPAN 2026, held May 8–10 at Makuhari Messe in Japan, accelerating their domestic and international activities as a "performance-oriented band."
