YB Band, led by vocalist Yoon Do-hyun, has been a cornerstone of Korean rock music for nearly three decades. Known for their signature blend of hard rock and traditional Korean elements, they've produced numerous hits including "Oh! Victory Korea" and "Flying butterfly." The band has consistently pushed boundaries in the Korean music scene, maintaining their relevance through multiple generations of music fans. The band takes on a new challenge with the hybrid metal genre.
Xdinary Heroes, who debuted in 2021 represents the new wave of K-rock. The six-member band has been making waves with their fresh take on rock music, incorporating modern elements while staying true to the genre's roots. There music is proven to resonate with the public as their songs were played during protests calling for the impeachment of the South Korean President.
