Hyoyeon, who gained popularity in Japan for a time as a member of Girls’ Generation, has always showcased an artistic presence with her advanced dance technique.

Recently, she has also been active as a DJ.

When performing as a DJ, she goes by the name HYO and has released several tracks to date.

For her original releases, she takes the format of producing the songs herself and singing them as well, revealing an artistic and stylish side of her that you can’t see in Girls’ Generation.

DJ Hitchhiker has produced numerous hit songs.

Early in his career, he was active as a solo singer.

He later worked as a composer for SM Entertainment, the largest label in Korea, and continues to do so today.

Thanks to his experience as both a vocalist and a composer, all of his tracks are highly regarded.

A piece that really showcases Hitchhiker’s appeal is “$10.” It’s crafted in the electropop style he excels at, making it easy to enjoy even for those who don’t usually listen to EDM.

Take MeMISO

DJ Miso is gaining popularity in South Korea’s hip-hop and R&B scene.

She’s active as a track maker and has collaborated with many artists, building a strong following.

Her biggest appeal is her stylish, Black music-inspired tracks.

A song that encapsulates her charm is “Take Me.” It’s crafted as a laid-back R&B tune, and you can also appreciate her impressive vocal technique, as she handles the vocals herself.

Queen Bee (Extended Mix)DJ SURA

Every country has its major EDM labels.

In South Korea, “Leanon EDM” is known as the biggest EDM label.

Representing “Leanon EDM” is DJ Sura, whose idol-like looks are striking.

Like DJ Soda, she’s the type of DJ who captivates audiences with her appearance and performance, touring extensively across Asia.

Her track “Queen Bee (Extended Mix)” is a catchy song that showcases her musical style.

Euphoric ForestDIDI HAN

Didi Han, a female DJ who’s drawing particular attention in Korea.

She has striking looks, but she’s not an idol-style DJ like DJ Soda, nor a DJ rooted in the Korean hip-hop scene like DJ Soulscape, and she didn’t emerge from the EDM scene either.

Her musicality is multifaceted, blending a variety of genres.

You might call her an artistic type of DJ.

She’s expressed a desire to build her career in Europe, so if you’re looking for a serious, authentic DJ, keep an eye on her future moves.

Ram Siya Ram (Lofi)DJ Glory

I’d like to introduce a slightly lesser-known DJ here: DJ Glory.

If you don’t follow the Korean EDM scene, you might not be familiar with him, but BIGBANG fans may have heard of him.

Glory used to perform with BIGBANG’s Seungri for a time.

These days, he’s loved by savvy listeners as a highly skilled DJ.

The video shows his DJ set in action, so be sure to check it out.

Love is a SongDJ Soulscape

In recent years, Korea’s DJ scene has been becoming idol-centric, much like its pop music.

DJ Soda, who also drew attention in Japan, is a representative example of an “idol DJ.” In that same Korean DJ scene, DJ Soulscape stands out as a key figure supported by many heads.

Active since the early days of the Korean hip-hop scene, he’s now at the center of his crew 360 Sounds and enjoys strong popularity in Korea’s hip-hop community.

If you’re looking for a serious, authentic DJ, be sure to check him out.
