It's been almost a years since I last finished a blog post myself, but KMA season started a couple of hours ago so now I'm back a little bit at least. Here's the full list of nominees for the 16th Korean Music Awards (한국대중음악상 시상식)

The nominees for the 16th annual Korean Music Awards were announced today at 11am, KST. The nominated albums and songs have been selected from albums and songs released between December 1st 2017 an…

It's been a few months since there was any new contents on the blog, but once again Kevin came to the rescue! This time he interviewed Ian Henderson (Norse Rage) and Michael O'Dwyer (Michael O'Dwyer Photography) about their Korean metal documentary K-Pop Killers and more.

Two months ago, K-pop Killers, a documentary exploring South Korea’s underground metal scene, screened in Seoul at the G-15 Sonnendeck night club. Directed by Ian Henderson, he and cameraman …

I'm trying to catch up on releases from 2018. This week I've been particularly impressed by 하현상 Ha Hyunsang's My Poor Little Heart, released in May. Here's EP opening track Dawn, which first came out as a single back in February.

The more I listen to 안희수 - Ahn Heesu the more convinced I become that he offered last year's strongest folk debut. I keep returning to "재밌는 습관이 생겼어" in particular.

Last month I started a new job and as a result I've been much too busy to dedicate any time towards IROK. Fortunately Kevin stepped up in my place to interview ARTLOVER, whose retro infused debut single makes me reach for the repeat button every time.

London based rapper ARTLOVER released her debut single a month ago with the music video out last week. IROK contributor Kevin liked what he heard and prepared this interview.

It's just a couple more days until the winners of the 15th Korean Music Awards (한국대중음악상 시상식) will be announced. Here are my predictions for who will win, and who I think should actually win.

The 15th Korean Music Awards are closing in and time has come for me to follow Cessa and Jung in offering my predictions for who the winners will be. This is always a fun exercise to me, especially…

I'm always curious to know what kind of discussions go into the various categories at the Korean Music Awards (한국대중음악상 시상식), especially when there are changes happening. This year had me more curious than usual, so I reached out to KMA president Kim Chang Nam with a few questions that the professor was very kind to answer.

February is my favorite time for blogging as I can’t help but get excited over the Korean Music Awards. To me, one of the strengths of the KMAs is how it recognizes a majority of the many kin…

나이트라이딩 Night Riding's first album was released last Wednesday. Here's a chance to learn a little bit more.

I already went over how much I like Night Riding when listing my 2017 top finds. I’ve wanted to reach out for an interview since the release of his second single in August, but somehow the ti…

Every year I'm impressed by Jung and his year in review series for hellokpop. Here he is putting his vast knowledge of current Korean music into predicting the winners for this year's Korean Music Awards (한국대중음악상 시상식).

Watching the Grammys fumble with genre representation year in and year out makes me appreciate the KMAs a little more. (I’m not even mad about this year, but I’m still salty about 1989 over To Pimp…

KMA season has come upon us, and while I've been lazier than I had planned to be Cessa from The KHOP Loyalist has already shared her predictions for who's going to win this year.

Although I’ve been listening to Korean indie bands and singers since discovering Korean music back in 2009, I was only able to give my outmost attention to its musicians back in late 2014 wit…

It'll likely be a few more months till I've settled on my favorite songs from 2017, but I now feel fairly confident as to which my favorite albums were.

팎 PAKK's Salpuri is the clear #1, but I was also very impressed with the new albums from Flash Flood Darlings, 강태구 (Kang Taegu) and 카더가든 Car, the garden.

The Korean music year of 2017 was off to an excellent start with the release of 3rd Line Butterfly’s fifth full-length album Divided By Zero already on January 6th. As the year progressed I found m…

Finally got around to writing a little bit about some new favorites I came across during 2017, namely 굿바이 웬디 - Goodbye Wendy, 나이트라이딩 Night Riding and DABDA.

Since a few years ago, I’ve reached the age by which I’ve had to realize that listening to old favorites is generally more rewarding for me personally than seeking out new music. Nevert…

I've yet to hear anything from H a lot 에이치얼랏, but the band's coming debut album is already one of my most anticipated releases in 2018. With members from 옐로우 몬스터즈 Yellow Monsters, Coremagazine 코어매거진 and Band Reflex there's every reason to be excited.

Learn more through the band's first interview! And if you happen to be in Seoul this weekend, consider attending Save The Punk Rock at V Hall to check out H a lot's first live performance.

Catching up on Twitter yesterday I came across a retweet from kumichan that really caught my attention: Choi Jae Hyuk announcing a new band, H a lot. Choi Jae Hyuk has been one of my favorite drumm…
