Brand new interview of musician Seunghoon Choi at the K.O.A. Zine #16!
“What can I say about Seunghoon Choi? He’s like the Forrest Gump of Hongdae (without the mental challenges!)- always in the right place at the right time, smack center during pivotal moments in Seoul’s burgeoning indie scene. A quick run-through of some his highlights- appears with Yellow Kitchen on Drug Records’ first release (Korea’s 2nd independent release) Our Nation Volume 1 (a split album with Crying Nut), performing in the legendary 1996 Street Punk Show that inaugurated the punk scene, backing Stephen Malkmus as a member of “Korean Pavement”, and working on music videos for the likes of veritable Korean music superstars like G.O.D. and Nell. Seunghoon tells me that what follows, while lengthy, is still only an abridged accounting of his musical adventures. He has played with more bands and on more recordings than we will ever know. He currently resides in State College, Pennsylvania, where he is mastering sequencing and musical programming languages and continues to be involved in his local music scene. No doubt, his stories will continue to grow in number.”
