Nothing new to keep track of and as many k-indie related songs out of the top 200 as remains is what the latest Korean digital chart from Gaon has to offer.
k-indie @ Gaon Digital Chart – March 17, 2012
44. 10cm – 애상 [MV]
55. Skull – 쓰레기 (feat. Oksang Dalbit) [MV]
118. Two Months – The Romantic [MV]
136. Noblesse & Acoustic Collabo – Love Diary
184. 10cm – 안아줘요 [MV]
188. Verbal Jint – 좋아보여 (feat. The Black Skirts) [MV]
It’s a new week but still the Bugs indie chart is more about the old songs than about the new. Happy to see one of my own favorites from last week making it to spot 4. Also somewhat interesting to see rookies Hi To Him fare better than Annyeongbada (aka Bye Bye Sea) in spite of me thinking Annyeongbada was one of the biggest names right now. Since the album is already a few weeks old and 악마 did make it into Gaon’s digital top 200, perhaps it was just labeled something different from indie by Bugs those first couple of weeks.

Working from home has a lot of perks–not only do I save a 2 hours I would’ve otherwise spent commuting but I’m also by far more efficient than my office environment allows. As an added benefit it makes it possible to have a coffee break in the middle of the day with a bit of blogging thrown in. I wish I had more days like this. Before I get back to work, here’s the latest Korean digital chart from Gaon. (I’m now writing “Oksang Dalbit” instead of “Dalmoon” after seeing the joint 10cm concert poster some time ago)

Oh wow! It’s been a week already? It’s been a busy week and combined with a computer that only on occasion allows me to start it that means blogging have to suffer, both here and on Korean Indie I’m afraid. I will get myself a new computer. Soon. I was gonna do it last weekend but I’m too much of a procrastinator, I guess. Which is also why today I had to realize I’d missed out on J Rabbit’s album for the second time. But enough about that, here’s the latest Korean digital chart from Gaon!

Those that know their K-pop history may be familiar with Park Jiyoon since her idol days, but a few years ago she turned towards singer-songwriter path. It started with her seventh full-length album and continued on her eighth full-length album, where she’s been assisted by Asher Park and members from No Reply and Dear Cloud. As you can gather from the below the album in question has been quite successful on the latest Korean digital chart from Gaon.

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.
