Just a few gems from the indie rock scene of South Korea, gathered, compiled and enjoyed by yours truly for the first time around 2008-9AD. I prepared this show after returning to Melbourne from the Republic of Korea as a kind of demo to get my old show back on PBSFM, Rock around the World, which I'd presented at the station every Wednesday evening, 7-8pm, from 2004 to 2008. Enjoy!
