About Us

koreanindie was founded by Anna Lindgren Lee (@indiefulrok), Chris Park (@wakesidevision), and Mark Russell (@themarkrussell).

The purpose of koreanindie is to help international listeners discover the huge diversity of music that is made in South Korea. While the term “indie” usually defines one type of music, Korea is full of exciting and cool bands that play a wide range of sounds, and we want visitors to discover them all, regardless of genre.

koreanindie is always working to promote interesting bands and musicians through our album reviews, email and video interviews, as well as different features like show coverage or music awards.
