Highly UNDERRATED Korean Artists

There are so many more artists yet to be discovered!! please keep your eyes open for them ^^ The smaller artists need it even more than the bigger ones, so stay curious!!

This description box is gonna be long! I'll try to share all the artists and performances shown, how I selected them and recommendations because I know many people might disagree with some decisions I made (so please read this before commenting^^)

most important note
The numbers of monthly listeners are from the time when I made this video! This might be two or three weeks ago. The numbers have obviously changed since I made it and even after I uploaded this. I also know there are many platforms on which the artists have uploaded their songs/content and thus this number is NOT completely representative. Please don't see the exact number as a representation of their fame either. I only included this number to show AN INDICATION(!!!) on how much they are listened to :)

A few important notes:
I am very aware that numbers are different from within and outside of Korea
There are a few artists (eg Minho, Yejoon) who are YouTubers and thus will have more recognition than you'd guess from the monthly Spotify listeners. However, again, this is just an indication)
I didn't include Lee Raon in this list (the artist who sings with Maktub), even though he has only 3000 listeners, because he doesn't upload songs of his own and thus won't get individual listeners in the first place. He is VERY talented though :)
Onestar has blown up in popularity recently! When I made this, he had 36k, and currently, he is on a 170k. This is likely because of the recent OST he made, so I decided to not remake this video because the number will likely (sadly) go down again, but it shows that even one song that's temporarily listened to a lot, really changes the number. Other artists on this list did not undergo such a big change, except for Golden (but for a different reason)
I put a * next to Golden's number because the man had two accounts at the time (one before he left JYP (he was called G.Soul) and one after (called Golden) and thus I picked the highest number, however now the accounts seem to have merged and he's on 358k. This might also be because he has been on (talent) shows recently, but I hope it's because people finally started listening to this great man.

Extra recommendations:
Kimmuseum 8k
Se.a 26k
Jeon sangkeun 49k
Shin Yong Jae 76k
Wh3n 104k
McKay 106k
Park hyo shin 144k

Melo mance 259k

I hope I covered it all. I'm sorry for the insanely long description, but I don't want any confusion!! :)
