[Seren]

Sure. I could even upload some if you'd like. Some popular bands include Seotaiji, Yoon Do Hyun Band, TRAX, Jaurim, Cherry Filter, Loveholic, Kim Kyung Ho, and Crying Nut. It all depends of what kind of rock you're going for; for example, Seotaiji and Cherry Filter have a more heavy punk-rock sound, while Yoon Do Hyun Band and Crying Nut are more alternative pop-rock. Jaurim and Loveholic have some heavy songs but most are more mellow soft-rock tunes; and Kim Kyung Ho and TRAX have rock power ballads.

So...find a few you like, and listen away.

hmm, I listened too kOrean music..

My fAVORIte are DBSK, the trax*I like rose*, lee hyori and Tim...

bOa? Hmm, I like some her songs but she's not really my favorite, because for me, she's like a jpop star than kpop star...

I'd be more than happy to! After all, music is meant to be shared and enjoyed. I've got more stuff if you're interested, or anyone else for that matter. It took me a good hour to compile everything, but it was worth it. Hope you enjoy~

Yoon Do Hyun Band
I'm a Butterfly
Peppermint Candy
Mirror
---The Yoon Do Hyun Band has been around for a good while. They're very talented musicians that play a good variety of styles, including funk, jazz, folk, and ballad. "Peppermint Candy" is one of their most well-known hits.

Seotaiji
Orange
Live Wire
Robot
---Seotaiji is a music legend in Korea. He's had a long successful music career spanning multiple genres including dance and hip-hop. Lately he's been delving into rock, so here are some of his more recent songs.

Kim Kyung Ho
Escape
Working for the Weekend
Wine
---Kim Kyung Ho is one of Korea's most well-known rockers. His career began in the 90s and his voice is infamous for hitting ridiculously high notes without using falsetto. The third song "Wine" isn't really a rock song, but I just had to include it; he's more well-known for his ballads than his rock songs.

Jaurim
www.cyberdigital.com
Snake
---Jaurim is one of the most prolific female-fronted rock bands in Korea. They're known for their very artsy and adventurous songs and defying the boundaries of their genre. The vocalist is an extremely versatile singer who can sing a wide variety of styles.

Cherry Filter
Duck Day
Revolution A.D
---Cherry Filter is another female-fronted rock band. Although their sound is similar to Jaurim's, they have a distinctly heavier edge to a good portion of their music. However, they've also played softer songs as well.

LOVEHOLIC
Chara's Forest
---You may already be familiar with female-fronted rock trio Loveholic. A song of theirs was used as the ending theme to the anime Black Blood Brothers. They have a mellow, soft-rock sound that is very close to bands like Sixpence None the Richer and The Cardigans.

The TRAX
Liez
---The TRAX entered the spotlight with their song "BLAZE AWAY" featured as the second ending theme to popular sports anime Eyeshield 21. They recently debuted in Korea after the departure of their drummer. They have a modern rock sound with ballads here and there.

And, as a bonus:
Y2K
After We Broke Up
My Girl
---Y2K was a short-lived rock trio, comprised of one Korean and two Japanese guitarists. They only released 3 full-length albums but they've got some well-known hits.

Well, that's all for now. Let me know what you think of them. And, I'm sure I don't have to say this, but these songs are only a minute sampling of the artist's full work; it would be detrimental to make any strong judgments.

I've been listening to Korean music for so long from old Seo Taiji times to currently Se7en and Rain...maybe the new Baby VOX..

[ooojonooo]

My fav artists are... Epik High, Cherry Filter, Buzz, SG Wannabe, Younha, MC Mong, Lee Hyori (dancing mainly), and Yiruma (not quite sure if he's considered an "artist" though)...

[babyT]

My favourites are Drunken Tiger, Epik High, Lexy, Tasha and Se7en. I also listen to Yoon Hee Jung, Lim Jeong Hee, Park Hwayobi, 1TYM, YG Family in general, etc.

Well...I'm not a fan of BoA, Shinwha, DBSK and all those... xD
oh! and I can't stand Lee Hyori and Fin.K.L. ^^
