From a Viral Music Core Stage to a Rainy College Campus

This latest viral milestone follows her highly talked-about return to mainstream television music programs. Ha Ji-won recently shook up the internet by performing live on MBC’s Show! Music Core, marking her very first music broadcast appearance in over 23 years. On that stage, she beautifully recreated her iconic throwback performance of “Home Run”—originally a track by Psy from the soundtrack of her classic movie Reversal of Fortune. The unexpected nostalgia trip took the internet by storm, easily clearing over 1.7 million views on YouTube within just two days of its initial upload and earning high praise from fans who noted that the actress is currently experiencing a spectacular new career peak.

Building directly on that immense performance momentum, Ha Ji-won took her stage talents to a local university campus. On June 11, 2026, a brand-new vlog titled “Ji-won Tears Up the University Festival! Ha Ji-won’s Insane First-Ever Campus Stage That Even a Rainstorm Couldn’t Stop” was uploaded to her popular YouTube channel, Ji-won of the Class of ’26.

The entertainment video followed the star as she visited Kyung Hee University’s grand spring festival under the playful concept of a freshman student belonging to the Class of 2026. The festive campus environment was packed with surprises, including a special appearance by music icon G-Dragon’s high-tech Cybertruck. When passing students expressed their envy over the vehicle, Ha Ji-won laughingly promised to give them a ride, before sending a warm public shout-out to the musician: “Thanks to GD, I’m enjoying a nice cool beer today. Let’s grab a drink together sometime soon!”

Three Months of Intense Practice for an Unforgettable Night

The absolute highlight of the entire campus vlog belonged to her surprise appearance alongside the official university cheering squad. Ha Ji-won formally revealed that her incredible journey into collegiate cheerleading actually started as a personal passion project a few months prior:

“Back in February 2026, I saw a public announcement recruiting new rookie members for the university cheering squad, and I signed up simply out of pure curiosity. Stepping onto this campus truly makes me feel like I have traveled back in time to meet the 20-year-old version of myself.”

The actress reportedly spent three entire months undergoing rigorous, daily practice routines behind closed doors alongside the squad leaders to master the sharp, military-style choreography and precise timing required for the complex university routines.

Right before stepping out onto the massive festival stage, Ha Ji-won admitted to her crew that her heart was pounding heavily with pre-show nerves. The regular student cheerleaders and production staff quickly rallied around her, shouting words of encouragement: “Go completely tear that stage apart!” and “Don’t worry about making mistakes, just go out there and enjoy the night!” With a roaring shout of “Fighting!”, the actress sprinted out onto the main stage in front of a massive crowd of 20-somethings. Despite a sudden, heavy downpour of rain that made the stage incredibly slick and dangerous, Ha Ji-won delivered a flawless, high-octane performance packed with sharp movements and bright smiles.

As the performance concluded, the crowd of thousands broke into a massive chant of her name, leaving the actress deeply moved and momentarily speechless. Wiping away tears of gratitude, she looked out at the students and yelled: “Thanks to all of you, I am truly experiencing and feeling a youthful 20s era that I previously felt I had missed out on. I love you all so much, and I will keep this romance and excitement tucked safely inside my heart forever.”
