Nam Gyu-ri previews SeeYa comeback at Haeundae District busking

Nam Gyu-ri's Busan Haeundae District busking video was released on June 7, 2026, through her official YouTube channel "Gyulmeong." The 16-minute, 8-second video follows the Korean singer and actress as she faces an audience not in a large concert hall, but in an open-air space in Haeundae District, capturing what she described as the first busking performance of her life.

The video arrived ahead of the next stage in SeeYa's 20th anniversary activities. SeeYa, the vocal group with which Nam Gyu-ri is closely associated, has returned as a full lineup after 15 years, and the group is set to continue its comeback with the new song "Stay" and the national tour "THE FAN."

The Haeundae District busking took place for about one hour from 6:30 p.m. on May 22 at the Event Plaza of Haeundae Beach in Busan. The footage shows Nam Gyu-ri traveling to Busan with the vocal group Sunsunhui, preparing for the performance, and eventually standing in front of the outdoor stage by the beach.

The video's title includes the phrase "Busan Busking Site Part 1." That framing makes the upload more than a single performance record, leaving open the possibility that the channel will continue with additional on-site content from the same schedule.

Nam Gyu-ri performed "Salut D'Amour 2026," Psy's "A Place to Lean On," and SeeYa songs including "Us" and "Stay." Sunsunhui opened the stage with songs including "Sad Invitation" and "You Are Embedded in Me." Remake material, cover songs, and SeeYa's new track were placed together on one outdoor stage.

The set list was not built only around recreating past hits. Instead, the performance leaned toward presenting new songs and cover selections through Nam Gyu-ri's voice as it is now, connecting older recognition with the current phase of SeeYa's comeback.

Sunsunhui is a vocal group known as being based in Busan. The Haeundae District busking therefore brought together several layers at once: Nam Gyu-ri's personal channel, a regional outdoor performance, a collaboration with Sunsunhui, and a live presentation of SeeYa's new music.

On stage, Nam Gyu-ri said that the busking that day was the first of her life, adding that she was happy to be doing it in Busan with Sunsunhui. She also said she has not often had chances to breathe and communicate closely with an audience in such a direct setting.

Through her personal channel, Nam Gyu-ri left behind a vlog-style record of the day, while at the venue she met the audience directly. For SeeYa fans, the performance became an early chance to hear the group's live sound before the August tour begins.

SeeYa debuted in 2006, and after the group's disbandment and a long gap, its members have restarted full-group activities around the 20th anniversary. The official music video credits for "Stay," released in May 2026, list Park Geun-tae, Kim Do-hoon, and Kang Ji-won among the composers. Park Geun-tae and Kim Do-hoon are names connected to the musical color that defined SeeYa during its peak years.

The timeline of SeeYa's 20th anniversary project now runs from the group's 2006 debut to the May 2026 release of "Stay," the May 22 Haeundae District busking, and the start of the national tour in August 2026. The official music video and 1theK live video highlighted a studio-style live presentation and vocal polish, while Nam Gyu-ri's personal channel and the busking performance placed the focus on closing the distance with listeners.

For a reunion project, early comeback attention has to be carried into the next schedule. The Haeundae District busking was positioned between the release of the new song and the tour, giving the comeback a live, audience-facing step before the larger concert run.

The national tour "THE FAN" is scheduled to begin with a Seoul performance in August and then continue in cities including Busan, Daegu, Cheongju, and Suwon. For Nam Gyu-ri individually, the busking stage also served as a moment that reconnected her public image as an actress with her identity as a member of a vocal group.

With recent variety-show appearances and music activities being mentioned side by side, SeeYa's 20th anniversary schedule is continuing in sequence through a new song, live performances, and the upcoming tour.
