Korean music is synonymous with pop and electronic genres that are often performed by girl and boy bands that many people love. However, the Korean music industry also offers various other music genres, including indie music.
Indie music in Korea refers to independent music developed in South Korea in Hongdae in the 1990s. This genre is considered as the opposite of K-Pop, which is described as something commercial.
Indie music emphasizes the authentic message of the musician. So it's no wonder that indie music is more like telling a story or conveying a message. Without further ado, here are the Korean indie songs that you must listen to.
