DisKovery With A K! – Intro to K-Indie

Welcome back to a brand new season of DisKovery With A K! For this week’s episode we’re giving you an Intro to K-Indie.

We’re philosophizing about what Korean indie is as it’s a bit more complicated sometimes than an actual genre. If you need some new artists to discover, definitely check it out as we’re going to the biggest subgenres with recommendations on where to start.
