LIM KIM

 

Lim Kim, the lead vocalist of duo Togewol (top competitor on popular audition program "Superstar K"), has been praised far and wide by music industry professionals, as well as K-pop veterans like Yoon Jong Shin & Lee Sung Chul for her sultry vocals. In 2013, the starlet released her first solo album titled, "Goodbye 20," which helped her gain "Best New Artist" awards at both 2013 Music Melon Awards and 2014 Golden Disk Awards. 

 

JAURIM

 

Jaurim has rocked the Korean music scene for over a decade, becoming one of the most prominent and successful modern rock bands. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Kim Yoona, the four-piece band continues to make a huge impact in the rock world with diverse range of genres, as well as delving into both dark and bright subject matters. Jaurim’s ninth LP, “Goodbye, Grief” has garnered nomination for “Best Band Performance” at 2013 Mnet Music Awards.

 

ASIAN CHAIRSHOT

 

Asian Chairshot caught the attention of music critics and fans alike with the release of its first EP titled, "Mask," in 2011. With their hard-hitting mix of psychedelic music, garage rock and alt-rock, the trio started playing major music festivals within 6 months of their debut and received nominations for “Best Rock Album” and “Best Rock Song” at the 2014 Korean Music Awards. 

 

 

DAYBREAK

 

The quartet band Daybreak—consisting members Won Suk Lee, Jang Won Kim, Jung Yu Jong and Kim Sunil—created a major buzz with their hit single, “I Like,” in 2009 and soon after became a festival staple. Their lush combination of pop and rock sounds, as well as the mainstream success of their third album, “SPACEenSUM,” is helping the group gain fans by a thousand-fold.
