A Classic of Korean City Pop [KOREAN CITY POP]
In recent years, Japanese city pop has become beloved around the world.
Whether you usually listen to K-pop or not, many of you are probably interested, right?
While the definition has broadened and there are many ways to interpret it, it evokes a refined, “urban” feel.
In Korea, although that stylish approach hasn’t often produced explosive hits, starting around 2018 there’s been a noticeable increase in retro-style releases, and their charm has maintained strong support.
In this article, we’ll spotlight some classic tracks from this Korean take on city pop!
