Given that the interplay between music consumption and well-being has been scarcely researched despite its importance, this paper aims to explicate how musical activities in a community rock band make the participants experience shinmyoung, a Korean eudaimonic pleasure. For this purpose, an autoethnographic approach was employed with five years of participant observations and in-depth interviews. The findings revealed five themes of music band activities, which involved both music and happy experiences; namely, the release of pent-up emotions, immersion, self-enhancement, self-expression, and sympathy. The contextual factors surrounding music band activities were also identified. The findings dovetailed well with shinmyoung concept, leading to a conceptual framework of consumer shinmyoung experiences (CSEs). The cross-cultural comparison of the proposed framework and its implications were discussed in lights of public health.
