Description (English):
Korean Rock is a genre of rock music that originated and developed in South Korea starting in the 1960s. While it was heavily influenced by Western rock, it gradually evolved into its own unique style by incorporating traditional Korean elements and socio-political themes. In the 1980s, Korean rock played a key role in the democracy movement through protest songs and emotionally charged ballad rock. Today, Korean rock spans a wide range of subgenres, including indie rock, hard rock, metal, and post-rock, and has gained increasing recognition on the global stage. Notable bands include Shin Hae Chul, Yoon Do-hyun Band (YB), Jaurim, FTISLAND, and DAY6.
