Han Donghoon, former leader of the People Power Party, visited the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival.

On August 3, Han posted several photos from the festival on his social networking service (SNS) account, along with the message, "I went to the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival." The released photos show him standing among the audience wearing a raincoat and sitting on the grass watching the performance.

He also mentioned Beck (Beck Hansen), the American alternative rock musician who headlined the festival that day, saying, "BECK! Beck is three years older than I am." Beck performed on this stage as part of his first visit to Korea in nine years since 2016.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival, which was held from August 1 to August 3 at Songdo Moonlight Festival Park in Incheon. International acts included the British band Pulp and Japan's Asian Kung-Fu Generation, while domestic artists such as Jaurim, Crying Nut, Line 3 Butterfly, Song Sohee, and Balming Tiger also performed.

Han is known for his deep affection for music. Last year, he appeared as a one-day DJ on CBS Radio, revealing his wide-ranging musical tastes from 1960s rock to the classical works of Richard Strauss. Recently, he drew attention by naming "Yujacha" by the indie band Broccoli Neomajeo as his favorite song to sing.

Broccoli Neomajeo is a band that has continued its activities by performing on stage at rallies calling for the impeachment of former President Yoon Sukyeol after the 12·3 Martial Law Incident. Regarding this, Deokwon, the vocalist of Broccoli Neomajeo, appeared on the YouTube program "Kim Eo-jun's News Factory" and commented, "It was a strange feeling. I was happy to see, 'Oh, someone like him knows this,' but at the same time, it was complicated because he is not my style of supporter. I was grateful, but it really was a peculiar feeling."
