‘B-)AND’, Mirrorball Music’s new series that introduces Korean indie bands.
B-)AND #2 Band ‘Yojung’
Band ‘Yojung’, the second team ‘B-)AND’ introduces, debuted in January 2023, releasing [Fairy Time].
‘Yojung’ consists of Chang Junho(guitarist/vocalist), Lee Hoomin(guitarist/vocalist), Han Jeongkuk(bassist/vocalist), Park Youngmok(drummer/vocalist). The 4-piece band plays punk rock based music with extreme and rough sound, which make contrast with joyful, positive lyrics.
For the members, ‘Yojung’ was a new start since all members were in other bands, ‘M O S E S’, ‘Sudal Not Otter’, ‘National Pigeon Unity’ and ‘Desert Flower’. After teaming up as ‘Yojung’, they released a studio album [We are] and is actively performing with the iconic band sound. Here’s the quirky band building their own punk rock style.

Release Date | 2023.01.05
The supernatural creatures that appear on myths or folktales,
Yukiko Okada’s album title,
UK’s famous detergent brand,
a restaurant that sells alcohol and food, and offers music and dance,
a person who stands out in a specific field,
the 1st generation K-pop girl groups,
and ‘Chang Junho, Lee Hoomin, Han Jeongkuk and Park Youngmok’
We call all these things ‘fairy’.

Yojung – Is that it?
“The band I imagined while listening to this album was like a humorous, chatty, shallow and playful but reliable friend who is fun to hang out with and sometimes cheer me on with random words. If you listen close to their frank, joyful songs, everything in the world will look easy. Even though life is like fighting against the world, I hope everyday becomes a party while Yojung’s music’s on”
– from GongSangOnDo ‘GongOn_PICK!’
Sometimes fiercely but sometimes softly, [We are] whispers to you.
It reminds you that we are all precious and at the same time gives comfort, patience, courage and positive thoughts.
