While the term “underrated” may in fact be considered overrated, it may surprise fellow readers to see how applicable it may be to some hidden gems in this playlist. Mainstream K-pop and K-Hip-hop keep bright spotlights that may make it harder to find some of Korea’s best underground artists — such as IOHBOY, BB, JEY, and Rosy.
Although this playlist only covers a semblance of name-worthy artists, it’s a collection that provides deeper insight into Korea’s music industry as a whole. The specific genre touched upon for this particular mixtape is R&B, a perfect list to amp up any night drive or weekend trip. Feel free to let us know which one’s your favorite track!
