Korean music artists that aren't apart of the KPOP industry but release Korean music?

Quote from horizonshard

An entire IU exists. I don't think I'd put her in with Kpop.

There's also K Will. This MV nearly broke me the first time I saw it:

KWill is kinda moribund.

I spent 10 years arguing whether IU is KPop or not. She was definitely not KPop until BbiBbi(2018).

what is kpop anyway

Quote from SandyBee3

You guys are aware that Kpop is just the term international fans use for Korean Music?

In Korea there is no Kpop, just different genres in music.
