In the second chorus, 'you' becomes 'we': Haluri's 'Monday Blue' at a playground of melting snow
A midwinter playground live by Haluri, a singer-songwriter who sings about the day. The first self-written song, 'Monday Blue', swaps 'you' for 'we' in the second chorus, and the last song, 'Routine', became 'NONOL VOL 11' 110 days later.

Haluri is a singer-songwriter who sings about the day, setting out to 'add music as warm as spring to an ordinary day'. Haluri started out in June 2022 with the first single, 'Monday Blue'. As the 12th musician on NONOL LIVE, Haluri stood at the playground of Byeongmogan Citizen Park in Anyang-dong on a winter afternoon when, as the description puts it, sunlight that had been hiding behind the clouds melted the frozen snow. Won Jong-hyun played guitar and Kim Yo-han played keyboard. Times follow the full version of the video on the NONOL channel.
0:02 Monday Blue
Haluri's first self-written song, made to blow away a friend's Monday blues and comfort a gloomy day. After the song, Haluri said it was released as the first single, which makes it deeply precious and meaningful. The first chorus follows '오늘의 리듬에 맞춰 슈비두밥' ("shoo-bee-doo-bop to today's rhythm") and closes at 1:30 on 'Because I know you were in Monday Blue'. At the end of the second chorus, at 3:05, the same spot changes to 'Because I know we were in Monday Blue'. 'You' becomes 'we'.
4:11 Honey
Haluri's favorite of all Kehlani's songs. Drums and bass ran under the first song, but this song and the next have only guitar, keyboard and voice.
7:59 우물 안 개구리는 꿈을 꾼다 (The Frog in the Well Dreams)
A self-written song made while worrying about which path to take, with the resolve to make a dream come true even when stuck like a frog in a well. Haluri said the hope was that it would give strength to everyone living each day hard to reach a dream. The story starts at 8:43 with '하늘만 보이는 우물 안에서' ("inside a well where only the sky shows"), passes '말로만 들어본 바다' ("the sea I've only heard about") at 9:10 and arrives at '현실이란 벽을 뛰어넘을 거야' ("I'll leap over the wall called reality") at 10:52.
12:50 Routine
A song about putting off and putting off a mountain of things to do, hurrying yourself along while also cutting yourself some slack for being lazy. It was unreleased at the time of the show. The drums and bass come back in, and after '수업 끝나고 나서 뭐 먹을지를 꼭 생각해' ("after class I always think about what to eat") at 13:41, a line written in parentheses in the subtitles, '까눌레 피낭시에 맛있어 보이면' ("if the canelés and financiers look good"), tags along. It passes '잠을 자고 맛있는 밥을 먹고서 시작할까' ("should I start after a nap and a tasty meal?") at 14:37 and ends at 16:06 on '이게 바로 나의 하루' ("this is my day"). It came out 110 days later, on April 24, 2023, as 'NONOL VOL 11', and the album version adds Han Mi-reu's alto saxophone. The lyrics and music are by Haluri, and the arrangement by Haluri with Jung Mo-se, Kim Yo-han, Won Jong-hyun, Lee Jun-hee and Han Mi-reu (Bugs). Apple Music
According to the description, Haluri was the second musician NONOL met at the Byeongmogan Citizen Park playground, and the last stage here was Sung Hyunjoo, featured on October 29.
