It’s also the song that took them from indie underground music status to the top of the chart of a prominent music TV show back then – 가요톱10, the equivalent of today’s Music Bank.

And their proposal was a legitimate one.Įven with only a few days to write a song for a movie, Jaurim wrote four – one of which was “Hey Hey Hey,” the song that made it into the movie “Man with Flowers” (꽃을 든 남자) the same year and the song that led to the band’s debut. Jaurim members recall laughing off these strange men at first but they happened to be the movie production team at the public broadcaster MBC. This allowed them to perform at a more popular time than the smaller weekday shows reserved for rookie bands.Īfter their performance that day, they were approached by men who offered a job – to write a song for a movie that they were producing. In 1997, the band was just starting out in a live music club when they got an opportunity to fill a spot on a weekend show because another group wasn’t able to make it.

Jaurim members speak to this themselves on a 2021 TV special by broadcaster SBS that aimed to archive Korean pop music history. But Jaurim’s rather instant ascent to the wider Korean audience was quite unusual and serendipitous. Jaurim started as one of the underground indie bands that were propping up in live music clubs in the Hongdae (홍대) area of Seoul.
Other than the band’s drummer that left in 2017, the team – Kim Yoon-ah (김윤아), Lee Sun-kyun (이선균) and Kim Jin-man (김진만) – has been together since their debut in 1997.
Jaurim is one of the Korean bands from the 1990’s that has stayed relevant into the 2020s, and a band that has kept its core members for the most part of their two-and-a-half-decade run. They held concerts in Korea just this July and also released an anniversary album that includes remastered versions to some of their biggest hits with the participation of 117 lucky fans. If you didn’t know Jaurim before this song, you have a lot of catching up to do because this is a band that has just celebrated their 25th anniversary.
