the rose
The Korean indie rock band, The Rose, is composed of four talented members: vocalist and guitarist Woosung, vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Dojoon, bassist Jaehyeong, and drummer Hajoon. The Rose quickly became one of Korea’s most sought-after groups and has charmed the global music scene with their unique, soulful melodies and genuine audience connection since their heartfelt debut in 2017. Reemerging from a hiatus and navigating through waves of critical acclaim, personal endeavors, and mandatory military services, they breathed life into their belief that “music heals” with the release of their album “HEAL.” With this album, they were able to reconnect with their fandom, Black Rose. They have had a busy summer with their highly anticipated album release “DUAL.” This new album offers listeners a glimpse into the band’s exploration of the personal concept of ‘balance.’ The Rose has consistently been known for their ability to connect with their audience on an emotional level, and “DUAL” takes this connection to new heights.
