Rung Hyang is a singer/songwriter from Fukuoka that got her start back in 2005. Being of third generation Korean decent in Japan, Hyang brings a unique taste as a "soul" writer who continues to evolve with an "omnivorous" style that incorporates various genres such as Jazz, Hip Hop, Soul, and folk, with realistic lyric styles that fans can relate to. Just by one listen of her works, fans of the genre will instantly will fall in love with her with the unbelievable arrangements and vocal range. Either it could be the more emotionally vocal heavy track like “Fall” and “Rain” or a more beat heavy song like “Movin’ & Groovin’” and “Umbrella”. One thing is for sure, Hyang is sure to have a work that fans can always jam to.

While her solo work is phenomenal, her collaboration work is some of the best work I have heard in the pandemic era, rather it be the slow and butter style of “Low Key” with SIRUP or the more up-beat style of her latest release PARK with Taichi Mukai and claquepot. Like other singer/song writers in this era, Hyang shows she can versatile both in front of the mic and behind the scenes as well. She has produced a live concert supported with various artists, and is currently active as a member of the R&B Soul group TOKYO CRITTERS. She is also a founding member of the event "DRAMATIC SOUL", which became a hot topic in the music scene in Shibuya since 2015.

Currently, Rung Hyang has released one album titled Asia Monsoon back in 2009 with four EPs in 2009, 2019, 2020, and 2021 along with being a podcaster herself. Be sure to check out her official website, Twitter, and Instagram along with her latest music video “So Good” below!
