It's my turn is a three-piece band that debuted in January 2021 with the digital single 'Good Luck'. According to the video description, the lineup includes Ferdy, who also works as a K-pop composer; Yoon zo (윤조), a singer-songwriter and silver-prize winner at the 19th Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest, on vocals; and Weonkyung (원경) on drums. This is the fourteenth NONOL LIVE, filmed on a January morning after the cold snap had passed, at Dodam Children's Park in Segok-dong. The description says the band's music, played for people bundled up in thick coats, was '여름 그 자체' ("summer itself").

0:02 · 'DIY'

After the song ended, the band introduced it as '지치고 힘들 때 위로가 됐으면 하는 마음으로 만들어본 곡' ("a song made in the hope that it can be a comfort when you're worn out and struggling") (3:36). It opens with 12 seconds of playing alone from 0:02, and the voice comes in at 0:14. It came out as a single in March 2022. Apple Music

3:53 · 'Beautiful Enough'

Just as the band's intro '저희 아홉 번째 싱글이었죠' ("it was our ninth single") (3:44) suggests, it came out in February 2022. A guitar opens it alone for 7 seconds, and at the end, from 6:42, the band runs on for 15 seconds with no voice before stopping all at once at 6:57. Apple Music

7:29 · 'Love Song'

The band introduced it with '작년 12월에 나온 싱글이었죠' ("it was a single that came out last December"), and it came out on December 6, 2022. The first 14 seconds go without drums, and the drums come in at 7:44. Apple Music

11:06 · 'What Can I Do'

Of the last song, the band said '미발매 신곡으로 준비를 해봤습니다' ("we prepared it as an unreleased new song") (10:43). At the end of the song intro came a farewell, '이제부터는 It's your turn 되시길 바라겠습니다' ("from now on, may it be your turn"), a line that pairs with the band's own name, It's my turn (11:01). A guitar opens alone for 5 seconds, then the drums and voice come in together at 11:12, and from 13:07 the guitar steps forward for 10 seconds with no voice. The song came out as 'NONOL VOL 12' on April 29, 2023, 101 days after the video went up. Apple Music

The video was posted on the NONOL channel on January 18, 2023. Three people stand on the stage: one on vocals and guitar, one on guitar, and one on electronic drums. It's also nice to listen alongside the November 8 Playground on daisy, where daisy played alone at a keyboard in a snow-covered playground.
