Hello fellow korean music lovers!

While I was scanning this forum in search for new music that is not k-pop I noticed there isn't much about it, so might be best to do a general one and hope for the best :)

This topic is for recomend and discuss your favorite non k-pop k-music such as r&b, rock, indie, lofy etc.
Or just your underrated favorite artists\bands\hidden gems.

I hope we'll have great thread of cool and good music recs and talks!

Let's share each other uniqe taste and maybe find our next favorite gem~

Here're some of my current favs: (still hadn't figured out how to insert youtyube videos so you'll just have to trust me ^^)

suggi - he has cute and calm but also clinical music which I love listening to.

Keshi - I love his calm beats

eaj -  love his songs, his voice and attitude; upbeat but serious. melancholic but with a good vibes. he's great.

DPR IAN - I'm actually so invested in his music, mv directing and producing.

Sion - I don't even know how to describe his music cause it's so indie XD he's great, tho. his lyrics are everything I didn't know I needed.

Silica Gel - their sound and using of instruments make my heart reaches rates I didn't know existed.

Hucklberryfinn - they remind me very much of a duo I love (TENDER) and this dark, intimate type of music is getting me every single time.

I like musics in general and I follow new music releases.

From your favorites, I like Keshi, his voice is soothing and he's so romantic with his ehm fiancee? (May?), maybe that's why he could create great musics. I especially like 'Understand' but 'Dream' and 'skeletons' (SVT's DK ringtone) are very good too.

DPR IAN is unique, I remember 'Mood' is very good and feel new (for me). '1Shot' is pretty good too.

If you like them perhaps you'll like Leellamarz.

And I really like

  • Love Me by nafla
  • She Lives in Paris by Gemini
  • Invitation by Junni

Currently for Korean music, I listen most of:

  • Ateez - they're so powerful and daring. Jongho has a beautiful voice. Ah no, actually they're all have beautiful voices
  • Enhypen - they're hardworking and have one of the hardest choreography out there and some of the best songs out there
  • Stray Kids - they're all so talented and each of them are unique, I really like their harmony

For girl groups:

  • aespa - they're great; the songs, the musics, the addictive melody and uniqueness of each songs are incomparable
  • BLACKPINK - even though the list is short but all of their songs are masterpieces
  • IVE - used to make great songs ah but their latest release is not as good just like New Jeans

For solo singer:

  • Baekhyun - is very suitable with his choice of music genre but his range is not vast
  • Kyuhyun - has angel voice and very stable, he is definitely an angel
  • Taemin - has unique voice who can get stretch as he like, like singing lazily but charming and sexy
