Not that many newcomers this week. I’m guessing the recent popularity of Bye Bye Sea, or Annyeongbada as they seem to go by now, can be attributed to a couple of their songs appearing in High Kick 2.

It was a busy week so the Indieful ROK chart had to be held off for a while. Finally caught up with the posts over at Korean Indie News so here we go! eAeon definitely had the most songs in the top, but for the artist listing he wasn’t spotted until position 58, making him indie artist #11 on Indieful ROK’s last.fm group artist chart.
I’m completely overloaded with things to blog about for Korean Indie News right now so the Indieful ROK chart of the week will have to wait till the weekend, but until then here’s the latest Korean digital chart from Gaon.

When his wife Leela is kidnapped and then mysteriously returned, though, Raghunath is overwhelmed by the wagging tongues of his community. He concludes, in shades of the Ramayana, that her honor is sullied, and casts her out of his household; she bears his son in squalor. Raghunath continues to rise in esteem and eventually becomes a judge who deals harshly with criminals, believing them born of bad blood and incapable of rehabilitation. His son Raj, meanwhile, under the influence of the same thug Jagga who kidnapped his mother, grows up to be a crook and a bank robber. When he is reunited with his childhood friend Rita – who happens to be Judge Raghunath’s ward – sparks fly, and Raj is torn between his desire to be good enough for her and his belief, fostered by Jagga, that he is no good for anything other than crime.
