MRCH Captivated by Indonesian Music, Wants to Realize a Dream Collaboration with Raisa

Kapanlagi.com - The Korea Spotlight Indonesia event, initiated by KOCCA, successfully introduced the diversity of South Korean music in Jakarta on Thursday (27/08/2026). Yoon Jiyoung, better known as MRCH, one of the singers from South Korea, shared his enthusiasm about the development of the music industry in the homeland, which he believes is very promising.

"Oh, I think the development is very rapid. Yes. It will become very big in the future, even in the near future," said MRCH when met at M Bloc Space, Jakarta, on Thursday (27/08/2026).

This singer and songwriter also expressed his great interest in releasing works in Indonesia. He openly mentioned one name of a top Indonesian singer that he really wants to collaborate with on a music project.

"This is just a dream, but I really want to collaborate with Raisa," he said.

1. Prepare a Unique Surprise

In addition to performing in Jakarta, MRCH along with other Korean musicians such as can't be blue, Nerd Connection, and Silly Silky is scheduled to fly to Bali for the AXEAN Festival 2026. For the stage on the Island of the Gods, MRCH is preparing a unique surprise related to the outfit he will wear during his performance.

"Oh, actually I have brought my own costume, but I will change it to wear a sarong," he said.

2. Special Ritual Before Performing

Although he has had high flying hours for the past three years, this indie pop musician admits he still often feels anxious before going on stage. He has a special ritual to calm himself and maintain his energy to stay in top shape while entertaining his loyal fans.

"I have been performing for over 3 years, but I still feel very, very nervous. So I take a deep breath, exhale, I do that. I eat sweet foods like chocolate," he explained.

3. Tips from MRCH

On that occasion, MRCH also provided simple tips for other singers to maintain vocal quality amidst a busy schedule. According to him, the most crucial thing is to give the vocal cords a rest so they don't work too hard before the performance starts.

"When we talk, I think it can hurt (the vocal cords). So, try not to talk too much before the performance starts," concluded MRCH.
