GRAVITYONEWE
They debuted in 2015 under their former name, MAS0094.
ONEWE is a band currently signed to RBW, the agency known for MAMAMOO.
As of 2023, they are a five-member group that incorporates piano and rap.
They honed their skills by performing street gigs in Hongdae.
In 2019, the year after transferring agencies, they launched their debut project starting with ‘1/4’ and also made their indie debut in Japan.
The members reportedly all contribute ideas during production, and their genre-defying style is one of their strengths.
Their music is diverse—from refreshing tracks to trot-inspired songs—and they also exude a visual kei-like allure reminiscent of ‘GRAVITY,’ showcasing their chameleon-like versatility.
Because I Love You ~Precious Bonds~SUPER JUNIOR-YESUNG
Among SUPER JUNIOR, Yesung is one of the members who supports the group’s vocal power alongside Ryeowook and Kyuhyun.
He’s charming for his husky, warmly expressive singing voice and his big-brother persona.
This track is from his 2019 Japanese solo full album, for which he spent over a year in production and was highly particular about the Japanese lyrics.
Please give it a listen—it’s filled with gratitude for his Japanese fans!
Every DaySURL
One Korean band I definitely want you to keep an eye on is SURL.
They debuted in 2018 and quickly picked up numerous rookie awards, drawing attention both at home and abroad.
Their work showcases a wide range of styles rooted in the Britpop they admire.
In interviews, they’ve said they listen to Japanese music as well, and they continue to pursue borderless activities such as opening for Nulbarich’s live shows and performing overseas.
Their airy resonance and pleasant soundscapes are wonderful, so if you like that kind of vibe, give them a listen.
Only you(너뿐이야) (SHE WAS PRETTY(그녀는 예뻤다)SiWon(시원)
This is a song from the soundtrack of the 2015 drama “She Was Pretty.” It’s a ballad sung by Siwon of SUPER JUNIOR, who played one of the main characters in the drama.
As a track from a romantic comedy, it’s a straightforward love song that declares, “Only you.” Siwon is loved in Korea not only as an idol but also as an actor, with a good family background and handsome looks, and that’s precisely why such a direct expression of love suits him so well.
Waiting For Your Calling BackSultan of the Disco
If you’re into funky bands, you should definitely check out Sultan of the Disco.
Formed in 2006 around leader Najam-su, who handles vocals and synthesizer, they evolved from a lip-sync dance group into a funk band, captivating listeners with a sound that incorporates danceable 1970s funk.
Their light, snappy grooves will have your body swaying before you know it! They made their Japan debut in 2016, have appeared at SUMMER SONIC, and have shared the stage with Japanese bands SCOOBIE DO and CHAI.
