Below is the list of artists from Korea who are on the verge of success, and you must keep an eye on 2021!
Choi Jung Yoon
Choi Jung Yoon is the definition of an aspiring artist, showing an insane amount of promise!
Jung Yoon has a fresh vocal, exciting approach to music composition, and superb songwriting abilities, making her the indie artist to watch out for. We love her simplistic retro sound that includes a sort of synth-based city pop style, Allkpop reported.
Jung Yoon is a newbie in the industry. She has been exploring and experimenting with pop to folk genres. We are looking forward to witnessing the brand new sounds Jung Yoon can make in the industry!
Paul Kim
Paul Kim is a singer-songwriter who produced his first appearance in 2014.
However, Paul has since widened his musical scope by gaining a great deal of influence. His most significant accomplishments include "Every Day, Every Moment" and "Rain," songs released in 2018. Pop stars and K-Pop enthusiasts were instantly drawn to his new releases and performances!
With Paul's enchanting vocals and skilled composition, he is a highly recommended artist to listen to and look forward to.
Se So Neon
Se So Neon, an indie trio since 2016, managed to bring a distinctive soundscape to the front line of alternative music, made up of vocalist-guitarist Hwang Soyoon, bass player Park Hyunjin, and drummer U-Su.
At the Korean Music Awards, Se Neon managed to win the Rookie of the Year and Best Rock Album but is now generating substantial attention from their local soundscape.
BTS' RM recently recommended Se So Neon on his official YouTube playlist. Se So Neon has a soft yet flexible sound, that can suit a variety of music styles.
