Jung Seung-hwan, one of the performers, held his first streamed concert on V Live on Tuesday.

“I hope the time for us to meet back on stage after all this calms down and everyone is healthy come soon.

Antenna follows a number of Korean artists who have turned to streaming online for people at home because of the pandemic. Indie singer 10cm started #TogetherAtHome in Korea after seeing Coldplay’s Chris Martin stream from his home. 10cm’s nomination of Ko Young-bae of band Soran lead to nomination after nomination bringing more musicians to stream concerts online.
