Update: June 6, 2008

Hi everyone,
as you've noticed, i haven't been keeping up to date with this channel for quite some time now. the day after my last update (about 2 weeks ago), i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and it turned out that i was dealing with this for some years. i won't die or anything, but the news still hit me hard (emotionally, mentally, physically). I don't think i'll update this page regularly anymore. I'll probably just post other users' videos on my vlog every now and then. Please understand. And thanks again for all the comments left on my page and on my videos.

The aim of this channel is to introduce you to a wide array of underground, indie, and non-mainstream music from South Korea. I'll throw in the occasional "pop" too. It'll be updated every other day.

You can also find me at: http://orienkorean.imeem.com/

It's where i post songs, but you'll have log in or sign up over there to hear them in full length.

Check out my vlog too. I do update it, from time to time. It only features videos uploaded by other youtube users.

Also, if you're having trouble finding videos for a particular genre/style in this channel, just use the Videos' search box.

Examples to type in:
alternative, indie, rock, rock'n'roll, punk, metal, pop, folk, emo, screamo, metalcore, hardcore, jazz, electronic, rap, hip hop, rocksteady, reggae, sXe, hXe, acid, funk, r&b, house, bossa nova, 2-step, new-wave, trip hop, britpop, rapcore, dance, oldies...etc. (or type in the band/artist name).

Note that "rap" and "hip hop" will give you different results.

You can try combining some tags. For example, "alternative rock" or "indie rock".

Sometimes you may run into problems searching for a band by name. For instance, typing in "roller coaster" won't give results. If that happens, try typing it in as one word - "rollercoaster"
