I mean can you find a song like this in Korea?!
We need more concepts like this

the music video reminded me of this:

Visually I agree with you!!!
but yeah... Kpop doesn’t have alternative idols :/ that’s a shame as even in Japanese music I almost only listen to those kind of idols.

I mean usually no K-Pop group goes in that rock direction , even DC have kinda turned away from the really hard hitting stuff if u dont count their Japanese releases

I know that but that’s clearly a shame. I would stan directly if it was heavier
you know I am sincere 😩

I stanned NECROMA mostly because of that song; but I generally like their concept. Even for them, Tupilaq was a very dark concept if you know what a tupilaq is.

I have looked for it on the internet

All the idols I stan or I'm close to are alternative idols. DC came closer, but they shied away. Anyway, on the Japanese scene, the boys are shying away from it. The only ones I knew are going the DC route (shied away).

some Japanese visual kei acts could be pretty good too sometimes but I get your point.
That may be the reason why I don't have a main BG I stan (except Monsta X who I am the closest to truly stan but yeah)

On visual kei, the opposite seems to be true. There are many boybands, but the only female I know is Mai Yajima. It's a shame SD didn't follow through their heavy rock route. They were good, and their vocals offered something different.

do you know exist-trace? They are a GG visual kei band

You are right... I really enjoyed Super Dragon early songs, much more than the most recent ones...

To be honest, I have being checking out mostly idol groups and not so many rock bands. I know Jupiter, Jiluka, Log (which seems to be inactive), and Mai Yajima. I have heard of others, but I have not checked them out. If Hyde counts as vkei, then I can count him too. The bulk of the Japanese music I follow is from alt-idol groups.

i mean dreamcatcher, obviously, though it's not quite there due to the layered synths that necronomidol has. But i don't like those synths because it makes it sound too idol-ish in a way that i don't like, often japanese idol music that tries to be heavier seems to mix synths in a way that i don't like so i stick to strictly rock. And i find those synths take away heaviness when done in that way, so i do like dreamcatcher's approach more, though i don't like either too much

(dreamcatcher's approach feels too normal to me by now, especially after many of their songs turned out so similar. Nowadays they're experimenting more with edm, but except for Scream i haven't liked it. I do like dreamcatcher's integration of edm more than this when they actually have done it right, but neither do it well enough for me too often)

I still like non-idol rock and bands overall more whether it is in Japan or Korea, and i also like their integration of edm more than most idol groups on a general level, with some songs being exceptions like Scream (which layers the psytrance bass synth with the guitars) and a few japanese songs here and there. But overall there aren't many artists in the world who flawlessly mix electronic elements with rock (ignoring soundtrack composers), it's hard so i'm not too harsh on the topic lol.
