hey, I've been putting together a small site called indiek to introduce Korean artists to people outside Korea. It's my own fan project. I wanted somewhere to share songs I like with a bit of context in English.

Some of the first picks are ONCE by YdBB, Even if you leave by HANRORO and The Wave by SE SO NEON. There's WhiteUsedSocks and Motte too. You'll probably know some of them already, but hopefully there's something new to you in there.

I've added short artist introductions and official YouTube links. I prefer live performances so I've used those where I could find them. There's some music outside indie on there too.

It's still small and I'm doing this for fun. If you were introducing someone to Korean indie, what song would you play them first?

Would you watch a YouTube channel introducing lesser-known Korean artists?

Hi everyone! I’m a university student from South Korea. Through my travels, I’ve seen firsthand how popular K-pop has become around the world. It’s made me want to introduce more Korean artists to international audiences, including some who haven’t received much attention overseas.

I’m thinking about starting a YouTube channel featuring these artists, with subtitles in multiple languages. The videos would explore their music, backgrounds, and what makes them unique.

For those of you outside Korea, would you be interested in watching something like this? What would you want to see in these videos? I’d love to hear your honest thoughts!

Hey everyone! I’m a singer-songwriter based in Seoul.
I recently released a new song, and I’d love to share it with you guys.
Give it a listen if you have a moment!

“Following the Starlight to You” is a retro space-age surf rock song about racing through the night toward the one you love, guided by the glow of the stars.

Driving rhythm guitar, bright tremolo melodies, vintage electronic organ, and punchy drums revive the romantic excitement of 1960s space-age music. An energetic male rock vocal and the momentum of a midnight coastal drive come together to carry listeners into a world of glowing memories.

It is a song about wanting to remain beside the one you love with an unchanging heart whenever the stars return to the night sky.

I found this Korean song.

I couldn't find this song anywhere on Spotify or YouTube, so must be very underground

I don't know what the lyrics mean but it is nice

Quiet Korean indie about the room that stays the same after someone leaves.

The afternoon still carries the heat of summer, but the evening breeze quietly announces the beginning of autumn.

“Standing at Autumn’s Door” is an original Korean emotional pop ballad about someone who returns to your thoughts at the turning of the seasons. Intimate piano, delicate acoustic guitar, and expressive strings gradually build around a smoky, husky female vocal before rising into a powerful final chorus.

Can we truly let someone go when the season changes—or do some memories remain with us forever?
