K.O.A. Zine has been updated with yet another very interesting interview, including some Korean indie music history. This time the interview subject is 3rd Line Butterfly‘s Sung Kiwan: Sung Kiwan: Renaissance Man of Hongdae

For more questions and answers, over at Omona They Didn’t! there’s a translated 10Asia interview with Kim Jae Wook, that still seems best known for his part in 2007 drama Coffee Prince. It deals mostly with his acting career, but there’s a fair bit on the music side – including his band Walrus – as well: 10Asia Interviews the Waffle Boy

Thanks to sarangingayo, another piece from 10Asia was brought to my attention: CHANG KIHA & THE FACES to debut into Japan in October.

And while on the subject of Japan, Ken of highly esteemed blog Japan Live recently shared some impressions from the music scene in Korea: My Seoul

    ah, I always wonder how people find that english translated 10Asia stuff, I always just find the korean ones orz

    P-vine Records twittered about dates. 11/3 album 별없이 산다 release and 11/23 performance in Japan. just don’t know how reliable that info is.

    I just wonder if Joong Yub goes to Japan, will ‘Oh Ji Eun and wolves’ stop for a moment? but maybe he’ll manage to do both >_>?
