Ha Dong-kyun

Ha Dong-kyun's path interests me more than any single hit. Debuting in 2002 with the short-lived 7Dayz, joining Wanted in 2004, then carving out a solo run with two albums and three EPs, he reads less like a manufactured idol and more like a vocalist determined to be heard on his own terms. There is something quietly moving about an album titled Stand Alone; it hints at an artist comfortable with solitude as a creative posture. I tend to root for singers who survive the churn of the industry and keep releasing on their own schedule, and his steady, unglamorous persistence is exactly that.
