A leading Korean artist to watch is the rock band SE SO NEON.
K-pop is the export, but the most interesting thing coming out of Korea right now is a guitar band.

They're touring internationally and getting written up everywhere that matters. Catch them now, before the rooms get big.
Seoul's most quietly influential rock band, led by guitarist-vocalist So!YoON!.
Fresh material and a run of European festival dates this summer; the live show is where the band really lands. Best entry point: the EP 'Nonadaptation'.
