The drum intro alone beautifully encapsulates the genre, followed by the inspiring lyrics co-written by Jinyoung and JB. If you ever want to host a rock-themed concert during a long drive, you definitely want “Tomorrow, Today” on your playlist. Combine these two with a powerful performance and a rebellious attitude, and you get yourself quite the rock show! Throwback to BTS’s early years during the “Skool” trilogy era, where they made quite an explosive comeback with their promising hit “Boy In Luv.” The septet stays true to their musical identity, as they usually fuse genres just like they did with hip hop and rock in this track. The sentimental track sends listeners on an emotional rollercoaster while being serenaded by the mellow beat. Infused with an indie vibe, this is the perfect combination for fans who appreciate both genres. Hyunsik is yet another group member who chose to venture into rock music as a solo artist. Nonetheless, Sunggyu’s passion lived as he finally got to make his dream come true via his solo debut “60 sec,” where he got to become one with his favorite genre. Later, he auditioned in the hopes of becoming a rock singer but he ended up being signed as an idol.
When he was in high school, he was part of a rock band called Coma Beat.
Sunggyu’s story with rock started way before he became an idol. The single embodies a pop-ish punk rock sound that is vividly represented through the lyrics, the instrumentals, and the visual performance. In fact, “Crooked” from his album “Coup D’Etat” happens to be one of his most memorable releases. G-Dragon has explored many concepts throughout the years, and rock is no exception. In his title track “Let’s Love,” he sends us on an emotional journey through warm lyrics that perfectly match the slow-tempo instrumental. This following sweet tune would appeal to ballad and rock lovers alike.Īnother idol to bring back laid-back rock music to the table is Suho in his debut release as a solo artist. Her music is heavily influenced by the genre that her signature sound is a mix of piano rock and modern ballads that she has carried with her since debut. Kim Heechul paired up with TRAX’s Kim Jung Mo to form “M&D,” which stands for “Midnight and Dawn.” The duo picked rock as their signature style and released a fair share of songs where they showed off their talent. To take you back to where it all started, check out their first-ever single “Close Ur Mouth,” composed and played by Jung Mo and written and performed by Heechul. To look more in-depth into their versatility, here is a list of K-pop artists who gave rock a try (and rocked it!). Aside from Korean rock bands like Nell and Hyukoh, K-pop/rock groups such as DAY6 and CNBLUE, and idol groups known to have mastered the rock genre like DreamCatcher (to name a few), some other idols - soloists and groups - have experimented with rock. K-pop is a music genre that welcomes and encapsulates all other genres within.
