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

Thanks for sharing! I'll be sure to check out you recs~

Keshi? fiancee? idk. I'm not interested in personal lives of artist(?) but yes, he doses soud very romantic and sincere in his songs. 

also yes, DPR IAN is one of the most uniqe and spacial artists I've encountered. his style is so diverse and spacial and I love how everything's just come together to form an epic storyline (sorry for the info-dump all of a sudden.)

sorry for the double, MDL didn't let me qute all at once...

I'm really not into the k-pop scene (I have some specific groups I like but it's mostly song or a colectoin of them so can't say I know much about it :/)
I'd love it if you could recommend me some of your favorite songs of them, preferably less on the 'pop' side (only if you wanna, its just my curiosity~) because just looking at discography without knowing where to start is overwhelming XD (had it with TXT and I'm NOT going through this again)

enhypen, they have some good tunes! I like 'mixed-up' and 'given-taken' the most, but feel like it's been ages sience I last listened to them.
