KPOP DISCOVER's The Rose note

What anchors The Rose is a vocal that sits close to the feeling and a guitar-led band sound. A 4-piece band out of Korea, they carry melodies that travel easily into English-speaking ears, which makes them an easy first K-band to hear. Sorry in 2017 set the starting point on a band sound unlike a K-pop idol act and on the voice of Woosung.

The ache of She's In The Rain, the bright band pop of RED, the healing and loneliness that the album HEAL moves between: the range runs well past dark emotional songs. Put the music videos and the live footage side by side and the outline comes through.

Recently, working from a self-run base and global touring, they have pushed the rock colour and the live feel through Back To Me, Alive and Trauma. Sorry, then She's In The Rain, then Back To Me covers the lyricism, the ache and a global sense of scale.

Editors' take Sorry / She's In The Rain / Back To Me — a vocal close to the feeling and a guitar-led sound, across 3 songs from a 4-piece K-band out of Korea.
