Rookie rocker Macha is drawing attention with his transformation into independence activist Yeo Woon-hyung with a long mustache.

He made a surprise appearance on the MBC special feature ‘Memory·Rock’ Season 2 ‘The Beginning of the Democratic Republic, Jo So-ang’ that aired on the 1st to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Liberation, and fans continued to ask whether Macha would appear.

The broadcast showed a scene where 29 regional independence activists who had been scattered around the world advocating different paths in the wake of the March 1st Movement gathered in Shanghai, China, leading to the opening of the 1st Provisional Government.

It was confirmed that Macha took on the role of Yeo Woon-hyung, the representative of the Shanghai New Korea Youth Party, who appeared at the meeting along with Jo So-ang, Lee Dong-nyeong, Hyun Soon, Choi Geun-woo, Shin Chae-ho, and Shin Seok-woo. Fans showed a lot of interest in Maha‘s appearance with a thick mustache.

Through the 1st Provisional Government, the Republic of Korea was decided as the name of our country along with the Republic of Joseon, the Republic of Goryeo, and the New Republic of Korea. The moment when the people of the Republic of Korea became the masters of their country for the first time in half a millennium history, which contained the thoughts and ideology of Cho So-ang in the Provisional Charter of the Republic of Korea, ‘Article 1: The Republic of Korea shall be a democratic republic’, moved viewers.

Meanwhile, Maha released a new album ‘Millennium Rock’ in February and has been promoting on music shows with the title song ‘Love is over’. While showing off a powerful 4-part high note of 3 octaves F# (sharp), they have become a hot topic and have appeared on various broadcast channels including YouTube’s ‘Jamgol Bus’, establishing their image as a talented new rocker.

In March, they are scheduled to appear on radio broadcasts to show off their absolute high note singing skills, and they have also been invited to the ‘Hallyu Korea-Philippines Cultural Exchange Festival’ to be held in Pagsanhan, the Philippines, where they will put on a passionate performance.

An official from their agency Nanum Entertainment said, “Since we have released the new title song ‘Love Is Over’ in both Korean and Chinese versions, we plan to carry out Maha‘s activities in China in the future as well”, and “We will prepare a diverse repertoire that will garner a response from fans and present the emotion and joy of K-rock”.
