LIN HWAN
Discover the musical universe of LIN HWAN, who takes us through a visual and auditory exploration.
In the expansive landscape of Korean music, a rapper named LIN HWAN emerges, taking us on a visual and auditory exploration.
Originated from South Korea, LIN HWAN made his debut in 2021 with the single “ENTUSIASTA“. Spending his childhood in North America, he draws inspiration from both local hip-hop culture and the influence of Latin American hip-hop. He excels in a rap style that utilizes three languages: Korean, English, and Spanish.
What sets his productions apart, according to him, is his ability to present something distinctly “more Korean” in a musical genre that might seem distant from K-pop.
LIN HWAN made waves in the stock movement with his second single, “나스닥(Nasdaq)“, and subsequently delivered a powerful critique of global pandemic management in his third single, “가사혁명 (Lyrical revolution)“.
The rapper recently released the music video for “나스닥(Nasdaq)“, filmed in New York, where he explores the financial world through metaphors, blending investment culture with Korean references. (The “Nasdaq” is an American stock exchange, while the “Kosdaq“, mentioned in his lyrics, is a trading board of the Korea Exchange in South Korea, initially an independent stock exchange from the Korean Stock Exchange.)
LIN HWAN has a willingness to explore different facets as a global artist, as seen in “Río Han (한강)” rapped in Spanish and “Hallasan (한라산)” filmed on Jeju Island.
“Río Han (한강)” transports us into the universe of the “miracle of the Han River”, a theme celebrating the achievements of past generations. It’s an ode to the city of Seoul and its history, a profound reflection on life, love, and memories.
A welcome break from the hustle of office life, “Hallasan (한라산)“, a collaboration with Gurum, depicts a tired employee finding freedom through an encounter on Jeju Island. Model Jo Yu-Jin from Morph MGMT adds a touch of grace to this captivating video.
LIN HWAN stands out with a unique musical style that explores different themes of Korea, captivating audiences with lyrics in English, Spanish, and Korean. The time has come to dive into his creative universe.
