You can copy paste this into youtube. Everyone in Korea knows this guy's songs. Check out Becoming Dust and Letter to a Private.

can confirm this dude is a fucking legend
This is an album by Jang Pil Soon, well known for folksy music. I think it's my favorite 90s-core k-music. It has a nice alt sound in many of the songs (not track 2, which has a typical ballad sound to appease the korean audience)

Why is there always a Korean music thread but very rarely a Japanese music thread? Just wondering.

some other styles I know less about:
pungmul (percussion, singing, and dancing, farmers music for holidays and celebrations):
https://youtu.be/DQDo7QAojDQ
samulnori (recent offshoot of pungmul, more formalized and modernized, sometimes touching on fusion):
https://youtu.be/DHUE8897YDg
jeongak (somewhere between folk and court music, the music of the upper class, both instrumental and vocal, really getting into this stuff lately although the vocal stuff is weirdly hard to find):
https://youtu.be/fftVOSZVKeM
https://youtu.be/P2qPqf75p5w
hyangak (proper court music, still new to this stuff so I don't really know what it's all about, what contexts it is/was used in, but its string and wind ensembles mostly from what I can tell):

because japanese music is pretty well-represented in western pop culture but korean music outside of the kpop paradigm doesn't have that kind of exposure and often doesn't get exported, so it's a lot harder to find
if you're looking for general Japanese recs there's about a billion places you could go, but korea you have to dig a lot deeper
