'Financial Times' lists Winterplay, W&Whale & SNSD as Korea's hidden gems

Posted by heartfacee5 pts Sunday, January 16, 2011

Recently, columnist Tyler Brûlé wrote a feature listing ten of Korea's hidden jewels for UK's 'Financial Times'. Titled "The secrets of my brilliant Korea", the article drew the best from various categories, ranging from food to music. The author believes that Korea's musicians have a lot to offer to the world, as he listed three in his list alone. Ranking simultaneously at #2 are the jazz quartet Winterplay and electronic group, W&Whale. Brûlé praised, "If you add anything to your playlist this year, track down the melodic, dreamy and gently poppy tunes of these two Korean acts." Idol group SNSD also ranked on the list, landing on the #7 spot. The author wrote, "Girls Generation: speaking of K-Pop, it's worth losing a few minutes on YouTube watching this ensemble of leggy girls belting out their hit single "Run Devil Run". It seems like the Hallyu wave is spreading wider and wider as the months go on! Source: Financial Times
