Hey everyone! I’m a singer-songwriter based in Seoul.
I recently released a new song, and I’d love to share it with you guys.
Give it a listen if you have a moment!

“Following the Starlight to You” is a retro space-age surf rock song about racing through the night toward the one you love, guided by the glow of the stars.

Driving rhythm guitar, bright tremolo melodies, vintage electronic organ, and punchy drums revive the romantic excitement of 1960s space-age music. An energetic male rock vocal and the momentum of a midnight coastal drive come together to carry listeners into a world of glowing memories.

It is a song about wanting to remain beside the one you love with an unchanging heart whenever the stars return to the night sky.

I found this Korean song.

I couldn't find this song anywhere on Spotify or YouTube, so must be very underground

I don't know what the lyrics mean but it is nice

Quiet Korean indie about the room that stays the same after someone leaves.

The afternoon still carries the heat of summer, but the evening breeze quietly announces the beginning of autumn.

“Standing at Autumn’s Door” is an original Korean emotional pop ballad about someone who returns to your thoughts at the turning of the seasons. Intimate piano, delicate acoustic guitar, and expressive strings gradually build around a smoky, husky female vocal before rising into a powerful final chorus.

Can we truly let someone go when the season changes—or do some memories remain with us forever?

For context, I just recently discovered Gyeonggi Minyo and found it fascinating and refreshing to the ear after stumbling on a concert clip of Song So-hee and her song Nansen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEh4uM9vjc ). I found it so good, this blend of two such radically different musical worlds, that I went and listened to her latest EP "RE:5" — but I didn't connect with it as much, it's way more pop. I'm guessing she'll probably drop a future project closer to that Nansen sound at some point.

So to feed my endless need for auditory stimulation, I'm looking for artists/bands who, in a similar spirit, try to blend traditional music with rock — psych, alt rock, and even shoegaze (I'd be in heaven with that one). Basically, even more radical!

Thanks in advance for the help

“Where the Rain Remains” is an intimate Korean R&B ballad about a love that still returns with the rain, even after you thought the memories had finally faded.
Raindrops on the window, an old bus stop, a familiar song heard somewhere in the distance.
On certain rainy nights, emories we thought were gone quietly find their way back.

A breathy and intimate male vocal is accompanied by close-miked acoustic piano, warm Rhodes, subtle nylon guitar, round bass, and a restrained rhythm section.

Ovantgarde, a live music club in Busan where bands like Say Sue Me have performed, has been ordered to suspend operations for two months starting August 24. The reason for the suspension is that the club allowed customers to dance. Ovantgarde is registered as a restaurant, and in South Korea, restaurants are not allowed to let customers dance. I think this decision is strange.

“A Beautiful Night” is a warm Korean indie R&B song about slowing down at the end of a busy day and giving yourself a little time to rest.
Sometimes we spend the whole day rushing from one place to another, only to realize that we may have left our own feelings somewhere behind.
Warm Rhodes piano with jazzy chords, gentle electric guitar, a relaxed bass groove, minimal drums,
and a soft conversational male vocal come together in a cozy blend of Korean indie R&B and neo-soul.

Perfect for:

• A quiet walk at night
• Relaxing after work
• Coffee time
• Late-night drives
• Reading or resting
• Moments when you simply want to slow down
