[Female Vocalists from Korea] Singers and Solo Artists Who Color the World of K-POP

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

When you think of female K-pop singers, who comes to mind?

From seasoned solo powerhouses to vocalists who sing while also being active in idol groups, there are so many divas out there!

Hoping to open the door to new musical discoveries, we’re featuring must-listen, highly recommended female K-pop singers you shouldn’t miss.
