Thanks.

haha.. sorry I sort of got carried away with the listing and the descriptions. I sort of stopped for the female soloists. I can't remember any other ones besides the artists that others have listed and the ones that i mentioned. Oh and some of the artists on my list aren't that popular but are very good so you should check them out. And other ones on my list are very popular but not very good. But hey, you asked for popular. Haha. so in order to not offend any fans, I left the ones that aren't very good unmarked. XD have fun

Korean music divide two part among Korea.
One of part is popular music.
In these days, Rain is the most popular singer.
In addition,
Lee-Hyo-Ri, Dong-Bang-Sin-Gi, Super-Junior so on
Another is undergorund-music.
Even if, the public doesn't interst in them.
But, they have many mania fan.
Also, they have authority over their ability.
For examples, Drunkun Tiger, Crying Nut, No brain.
Although most of Koreans like dance music,
a few Koreans concentrate their favorite genre.
If you really interest in Korean music,
first of all, you need to decide your gavorite genre.
