In this edition of Rapper In The Spotlight, we’re shining a light on an underrated gem in the Korean indie scene—LIUNICORN. With a debut that blended heartfelt lyrics and creative storytelling, and a return marked by bold sonic evolution, he’s a name every alt-hip-hop lover should know.
Debut Release: A Superpowered Introduction
LIUNICORN officially debuted in 2020 with the EP If I Had Super Power, Could You Continue To Love Me?, a striking project that introduced his emotional depth and offbeat creativity. The EP features four tracks—three of which include Song Chan-yang—and centers around the standout title track, “If One Day The Devil Comes And Gives You Super Powers.” Described by LIUNICORN as “a love song about a superpower that never existed before,” the track shows just how far he’s willing to stretch conceptually.
The EP balances beautiful, poetic instrumentals with more hip-hop-driven beats—an unexpected but compelling mix for a debut release.
Later that year, LIUNICORN returned with the groovy, synth-infused single “Part Of You”, showcasing a more playful and upbeat side to his music.
He closed 2020 with the single album ‘We Need A Balance’.
Collaborative Experiments (2021)
In 2021, LIUNICORN began branching out through collaborations. He teamed up with AURA for the quirky and catchy “Ketchup”, followed by “Value” with Band anuM, further exploring different textures and musical approaches.
A Bold Comeback: LIUNICORN in 2024
After a brief hiatus, LIUNICORN made a stylish return in 2024 with “Alice in Wonderland”, an R&B-infused track with melodic rap and dreamy production. This marked a shift toward a smoother, more emotional tone in his music.
He followed this up with the single album “THE ONE”, continuing his sonic exploration and storytelling.
Latest Releases: 2025 and Beyond
In 2025, LIUNICORN released “I’m your summer, you are my lemonade”, a refreshing, genre-bending track that showcases his unique approach to mixing, composition, and theme.
Most recently, he dropped the single “Titan”, a powerful, imaginative track with stellar production and a cinematic concept. It stands as one of his most creative and polished works to date.
LIUNICORN isn’t just making music—he’s building stories, pushing boundaries, and defying genre expectations. From poetic love songs to conceptual anthems, his work is emotional, daring, and uniquely his own.
