L - R: Schevy Kim, Artz, Dong Cheon
Finding new artists as an international fan of Korean music can be hard. Most of what's pushed to us are Kpop groups and other Korean artists who are featured on music shows. That makes sense, they're practically being delivered to us even if we have to work a little bit to find streams of our favorite weekly music show. Meanwhile, plenty of artists are overlooked by international fans because they simply don't know realize these artists are out there.
So, hopefully our new series Band Class will help enlighten international fans to the abundance of Korean bands out there. It is honestly a bit like falling down a musical rabbit hole, before you know it you have more favorite bands than you know what do with.
