Am I seeing things? a Korean artist that is not singing and dancing like a k-idol? musicians a rare find in korean media, they must be highlighted more
There are many more of these artists, it's just that they don't have a company or their company is not as big as SM, YG, JYP or Big Hit to promote them properly. And honestly, most Western fans talk about K-pop first when they mention Korean music. But actually, there are many more genres of music in Korea like hip hop, rock, R&B, jazz, indie,etc
well its a competition, so many singer with different genre came in, in hope they will get more recognition. and this show also have a good rating in korea.
it's pretty fun to read comments like this when they have no clue what they are talking about. Try some searching dude! there are tons of great artists in Korea other than 'idol'
