This year, South Koreaโ€™s legendary band JAURIM, which led the popularization of band music in the nation and helped pioneer a new genre there, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its official debut.ย 

And to commemorate the impact of this iconic band, Spotify has invited the group to be the first contributor in our newest series, Kurated by [ ย  ย  ]. These playlists will be curated by K-culture’s finest creators and masters themselves to share their own stories and present their musical inspirations and tastes.

JAURIM is a natural choice for inaugural curator. After two and a half decades on the scene, JAURIM holds the title of the countryโ€™s longest existing and performing coed band. Today the iconic group continues to use its unique, authentic sound to tell stories as profound and mysterious as the bandโ€™s nameโ€”which translates to โ€œpurple rainforestโ€ in English.

Consisting of three members (vocalist Yuna Kim, guitarist Sun-Kyu Lee, and bassist JinMan Kim), JAURIM has established its own genre and solidified a distinctive position in the South Korean music scene. Because of its uniquely wide spectrum of music and performance, the band serves as an inspiration to various fellow artists and creators both locally and globally. Most recently, BTS member and leader RM showed his love and respect for JAURIM, visiting the bandโ€™s celebratory โ€œHappy 25th JAURIMโ€ concert held in early July in Seoul.

Some of its popular songs include โ€œBeeswax Angel,โ€ โ€œI’m my fan,โ€ and โ€œSong of Ha Ha Ha,โ€ with special track titles โ€œBoxing Helena,โ€ โ€œFanya,โ€ and โ€œSong of Ha ha ha,โ€ respectivelyโ€”named so by the band to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Not to forget โ€œMagic Carpet Rideโ€ and โ€œTwenty-Five, Twenty-One,โ€ the original soundtrack of the K-drama series with the same title. The band dives deep into dark human emotions like angst and reflects on societal illnesses, but it also calls out for hope and love that speak across time and generations.ย 

JAURIM continues to connect with listeners worldwide through a variety of Spotify editorial playlists. Most recently, JAURIMโ€™s โ€œTwenty-Five, Twenty-One,โ€ released in 2013 and currently featured in Spotifyโ€™s official partnership playlist of the K-drama, captured the hearts of many K-content fans and listeners around the globe thanks to the popularity of the K-drama.ย ย 

Commemorating the bandโ€™s 25 years, Spotify and JAURIM put together the exclusive playlist Kurated by [ JAURIM ]โ€”to help fans and listeners around the world connect and feel even closer to the band. The band members chose 15 of their own representative songs and selected 10 additional tracks from other artists who have inspired them, including Sinรฉad O’Connorโ€™s โ€œWhy Don’t You Do Right,โ€ Led Zeppelinโ€™s โ€œGood Times Bad Times,โ€ Queenโ€™s โ€œDonโ€™t Stop Me Now,โ€ and Pearl Jamโ€™s โ€œJeremy.โ€ย

Spotify’s Kurated by [ ย  ย  ] series aims to connect more Spotify listeners worldwide with artists of various South Korean music genres and with masters who have led various sectors of the Korean cultural and entertainment industry.
