As K-pop music reaches more people, other genres like Korean Hip Hop and Korean rock are also getting recognition. Many famous Korean bands have debuted over the years, but there are still many bands who don't get to see much light.
Good thing, MNET has created the show "Great Seoul Invasion" for the public to know more about bands!
