Yuk Ji Dam formed in Seoul in 2017, a four-piece band led by vocalist Shin Ji-dam. They released their debut EP 'Daydreamer' with a mix of pop, rock, and hip-hop sounds. Guitarist Kim Min-jae joined after original guitarist Choi Tae-woo left in 2018.
Their 2019 single 'No Thx' became a breakout hit, known for its catchy melody and feminist message. They followed with other releases like 'Siren,' 'Are You Happy Now?', and 'Purple,' continuing to explore different musical directions. Another track, 'Stayed Up All Night,' appears among their popular songs.
The band has faced criticism at times for being too commercial or for their outspoken views on social issues. They've maintained their artistic direction regardless, with Shin Ji-dam writing lyrics and Kim Min-jae on guitar alongside bassist Lee Na-yeon and drummer Park Jung-won.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
