[Solo Singer Feature] K-pop & Korean Male Solo Artists (81–90)
IndiGO, Diablo, Gone, DF KV Freestyle, That Ain’t Real (Medley)JUSTHIS

Justice, a rapper from South Korea, debuted in 2010 and has garnered significant attention throughout his career.
In 2016, he released the album “2 Many Homes 4 1 Kid,” producing numerous hit songs such as “IndiGO.” He also served as a judge on the popular show “Show Me the Money,” further cementing recognition of his musical talent.
Justice’s tracks reflect his unique, passionate style and are infused with his personal experiences and emotions.
He also delivers powerful messages to the public, earning strong support from many fans.
It’s recommended not only for hip-hop enthusiasts but also for those who want to feel a social message through music.
CHOCOLATEKANG NAM

This is Kangnam, a member of the HIPHOP group M.I.B, which disbanded in 2016.
His over-the-top, flashy persona on variety shows caught on, and he quickly became popular.
Once you see how funny he is on variety shows, the sweet quality of his singing voice is a surprising contrast—that gap is part of his charm.
성민 ‘낮 꿈 (Day Dream)SUNGMIN

Among Super Junior, Sungmin was active as a multi-talented performer in singing, dancing, and acting, and he has appeared in many musicals as well.
His 2018 solo release is “Sungmin ‘Day Dream (낮 꿈)’.” It’s a somewhat unusual ballad for an idol, depicting the anguish of someone facing a challenge they must confront.
Sungmin himself experienced personal life events—an uncommon marriage for an active idol in 2014, followed by military enlistment—which became challenges to his idol activities and led to his stepping away from Super Junior’s group promotions.
This song inevitably makes you feel that sense of frustration.
GIVE IT TO MESE7EN

A South Korean R&B singer active not only in their home country but also across Asia, including Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan.
They made their full-fledged debut in 2003 with the first album “JUST LISTEN,” beginning promotions with the lead track “와줘.” In 2004, they released their second album, with two songs reaching No.
1 on the charts, solidifying their status as a singer.
They have also been active in Japan; in 2016, they signed with Victor Entertainment to focus primarily on their activities there, and this year they expanded their scope by holding a ZEPP tour featuring piano-and-vocals performances.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced a variety of artists—did you find a favorite? From highly respected craftsmen in the industry to veteran heavyweights and the latest buzzworthy newcomers, there were all kinds of artists! It’s even more exciting and relatable when they’re active in Japan, isn’t it? I hope the appeal of K-POP vocalists spreads even further!
