709sec formed in Seoul in the late 2000s. The band's name comes from the time it takes sunlight to reach Earth. They started playing local venues and building an audience online before things began to shift around 2013.
That year, their EP 'Cosmos' came out, and the track 'Get The Star For You' became a hit. The song helped push them into a wider spotlight, and they went on to tour in Asia and Europe. Their lineup includes Kim Sung-yeon on vocals and guitar, Kim Jin-wook on bass and vocals, and Lee Jae-kyung on drums.
They've released albums like 'Gravity' in 2015 and 'The Light of Orion' in 2018, along with the 2021 EP 'Parallel Universe.' Their sound tends toward atmospheric arrangements and introspective lyrics, built from the members' collaborative writing process.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
