On November 30th, two pioneers of Seoul’s underground take over Lantern: Beton Brut’s QNA and Mystik’s Yeonjun.


Qna was born in Seoul and spent his early years in Panama, Hong Kong, Russia and the USA, where he was exposed to many cultures and diverse genres of music.


In the 90s, his family had a record shop, and this is where he spent hours listening to all kinds of music without any sort of bias. Also, his father was often on the road, from where he would bring back rare records to add to his collection. Qna quickly picked up on the same hobby, and started to collect records in his teens. In 2002, Qna started to play his collection at a small bar, and this is what sparked his interest in being a DJ.


He has communicated with the masses through various genres of music, but finally settled with techno. Qna is the owner of Beton Brut Seoul, and is working hard to deliver quality techno to the masses; both as a DJ and as a owner. He has shared decks with some of the world's finest, and is consistently working with local DJs to make a strong underground movement.


Yeonjun started as a professional DJ in 1999, as a resident at club Matmata, located in Hongdae, Seoul. The club was an iconic house music club that ravers from that time period still remember and cherish to this day. During his residency, he introduced artists such as Derrick Carter to the listeners in Seoul.


In 2011, Yeonjun moved to the Itaewon area in Seoul to open Mystik, yet another iconic house/techno venue that is well known as one of the most prestigious clubs in Asia even after its closure. In year 2016, he opened a venue called Deviate in Hannam-dong, an area close to Itaewon.


Yeonjun is a true safeguard of the electronic music scene in Seoul, a great director that built up many iconic clubs, and a great DJ whose selections have a whole history of their own.
